Brexit Arms: Election Night Lock-In

Welcome to the Brexit Arms - it's going to be a stormy old night! We're about to be buffeted from right to left and back again with no real idea what the landscape will finally look like in the morning. All are welcome to weather the storm in the warmth and safety of the Arms - but please remember this a hospitable establishment so let's try and keep it that way.

We're kicking off the evening with our Back to the 70's theme night while we wait for the big main event to unfold. The juke box is loaded with all your 70's favourites. Feel free to dance round your handbags but please, no dancing on the tables…. this could be seen as having too much fun.

As always, we've got a nice big pot of PG Tips on the brew and Camp coffee by the mugfuls in addition to our usual alcoholic beverages.

On a serious note, we know that tonight's events are going to cause some upsets. With this in mind, the mint imperial bowls on the bar have been filled with Diocalms and we urge all our customers to make use of these. There should be enough to go round as long as nobody starts trying to stockpile. We simply cannot risk the need for plumbers to unblock our loos on Friday morning, as they could have been called out on strike by then.

Landladies on duty tonight will be:

20:00-22:00 Greenish (with Babychams, Cherry B's and vol au vents)
2200-midnight Twattage (with Classic Dmitris and cheeseboard)
Midnight-0200 Singing (with stiff brandies to calm the nerves, plus a selection of fresh nuts)
0200-0400 Hate (possibly with Albanian delicacies and a hangover cure)

We'd like to get the glitter ball turning with this absolute classic:

….fingers crossed similar scenes will abound in the Arms by the end of tonight. Enjoy!

P.s. When ordering drinks between 8pm and 10pm please supply your own drinks emojis. Thankyou!

I think it was epic who said something along the lines of 'he'd better deliver'. I hope to God he does. I am not looking forward to Brexit, glad my stockpile is still pretty good. I do hope that provisions for the NHS, mental health, homelessness, education and all the other myriad of issues facing our country get dealt with. I can understand all your delight at the 'win' - but please forgive those of us who feel foreboding. Wine please and quickly!

dirtyrottenscoundrel · 12/12/2019 22:16

Fuck me.
Those exit polls. 😀

DustyDiamond · 12/12/2019 22:17

I hope you get your Party back. Your proper decent Labour Party.

Me too 🍷

We need a proper, competent, effective opposition & alternative

Corbyn, McDonnell & co have ruined Labour

DustyDiamond · 12/12/2019 22:18

McDonnell saying the 'media smear campaign' is to blame if Labour lose 🙄🙄

Walkingdeadfangirl · 12/12/2019 22:19

I have resisted gloating elsewhere (for now).

I have looked at Berkows face and he looks like he has been slapped 368 times with wet fish. He deserves it.

AutumnRose1 · 12/12/2019 22:19

I’ve voted Labour and Conservative in the past

I would hope Labour change soon.

SheOfManyNames · 12/12/2019 22:19

I'm seeing rumours on twitter of Sunderland central going blue. If they do, that will tell the story of the rest of the night. It would be sensational.

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 22:19

She I'm a swing voter but voted Labour more than tory. What they have become disgusts me. They all need clearing out and get actual grass roots people in, perhaps from the comprehensive system they adore rather than all grammar educated... And privately educated???

SheOfManyNames · 12/12/2019 22:20

I'm a labour voter. But the party at the moment is a disgrace. And so are the tories.

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 22:21

Yes but chukka, miliband all ruined it too.
. None of them are true labour people!!

TheGirlFromStoryville · 12/12/2019 22:21

I think the antisemitism has played a huge part if exit polls are correct, and it's sad that even now they refuse to acknowledge the level of it.

DustyDiamond · 12/12/2019 22:21

Jonny Rotten on Corbyn:

"I am Jew!"

They have.
I am a boring centre left. I dislike extremes if any kind. I hope Labour finally gets the message.
I will always think it would have been better for the UK to remain in the EU. That ship has obviously sailed. As others have said though, the silver lining is a kick up the arse of the opposition. Get some credible people in and play your part properly!

Coppersulphate · 12/12/2019 22:22

I am just dropping in to say YAY.
I hope the prediction is right. Xmas SmileXmas SmileXmas SmileXmas SmileXmas SmileXmas Smile

AutumnRose1 · 12/12/2019 22:23

songs I think McDonnell just described himself as centre left.

BoswellSolver · 12/12/2019 22:24

Pound already having a 'Boris Bounce'.

SingingLily · 12/12/2019 22:25

I have looked at Berkows face and he looks like he has been slapped 368 times with wet fish.

😂Walking

I'm actually sorry I missed that!

Poll predicting Don Valley will go blue. If so, I am sorry about Caroline Flint. She is a decent MP.

Head Girl Jo's seat - East Dumbartonshire - in doubt. It's 50/50.

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 22:25

Same here songs, I like people who change thier minds, listen, move as needed, entrenched brainwash cult types terrify me.

DustyDiamond · 12/12/2019 22:26

I'd say I'm probably centre right Songs
I've voted Labour, Lib Dem & Tory over the years

I'll vote for whoever I think is best fit at the time, I'm not loyal at all

For things to function well there needs to be brilliant opposition with credible alternatives

Corbyn's Labour is so much not that

And the man himself makes me sick

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 12/12/2019 22:26

“Epic - could this be the end of the 'current' Labour Party if they get an absolute pasting?”

I would very much hope so!

Toomuchgoingon · 12/12/2019 22:26

If that exit poll is even remotely accurate, I can't believe the Labour number

Walkingdeadfangirl · 12/12/2019 22:26

The UK looked over the cliff edge and said "no thanks".

2020 is looked so much safer now. The pound has soared.

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 22:27

However... Wouldn't it add a very brexit as we know it twist if Boris had a huge majority but lost his Uxbridge seat Grin

SingingLily · 12/12/2019 22:27

If McDonnell is "centre left", his idea of the centre is Pyongyang.

DustyDiamond · 12/12/2019 22:27

Oooh!

Faisal has a beard!

Makes him look suave & statesmanlike! 😍😂
