Westministenders: Election Special 2

[RedToothBrush]

Exit poll

Con majority of 68.

65 seats regarded technically as still too close to call. But that could mean an even bigger majority.

Blyth Valley has seen a 10% swing to the cons in line with the exit poll. 1st shock of the night

LD lose Brecon

The DUP have lost South Belfast to the SDLP

Boris looks ill

It must be exhausting campaigning. But I bet BJ has never had to work this hard in his whole life.

I should so be asleep...

Corbyn's successor will have to have a safe seat.
So Long-Bailey ruled even further out

Probably Kier Starmer or jess phillips
Starmer is v moderate, but like almost all Labour centrists, a very strong Remainer,
which may not help them win back Northern seats

re Wales, it's cheaper than the bordering English areas

I just wondered why so many of the seats have changed hands and why there is such a wide variety of parties represented in the results.

Johnson didn't look like he enjoyed campaigning. He likes to be universally liked.

East Dunbartonshire just coming in......

jo swinson gone. by only 100 votes or so

pidcock gone

Swinson loses.

Not surprising

He used "one nation" for his government...

Having culled all the one nation tories..

Yes Yes Yes

She is OUT.

I should be asleep too. But this is morbidly fascinating and cathartic.

Better than waking up to it all at once, anyway.

Boris increases his majority, despite not even bothering to vote for himself!

Probably alarmed at the thought of actually having to get Brexit done. Will he never learn?

pidcock gone

Ahahahahahahahahhahahah!

Labour hold ladywood.

Never realised ladywood sounds rude before but it really does

@DeRigueurMortis Boris looked exhausted. He also seemed surprisingly emotional.

BJ doesn't like doing serious work, just fluff pieces with the adoring LauraK

He thought that bhis lifelong ambition of being PM could be like London Mayor, where he appointed people to do all his work
and just stuck his nose in a few times to bugger things up

Johnson didn't look like he enjoyed campaigning. He likes to be universally liked.

As do all psychopaths.

He's got an exhausting year ahead of him. Serves him right.

Let's hope the next Lib Dem leader knows what a woman is.

Well exactly TheMustress

Poor Swinson, I don't think she deserved that.
The rest of the night was bad enough for her.

But I think the Scots have had enough and are choosing a different path.
