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

@Difficultcustomer, you were right in the first place. As an act of self harm this takes some beating.

BigChocFrenzy · 13/12/2019 04:53

I can't take a party seriously if it can't tell the difference between men and women

So by my count that leaves BXP and the Communist Party as the only serious parties

It's pouring, I haven't been to bed and I don't want to add falling off my bike to the disasters)

The Conservatives now hold 5 seats in Scotland.

BigChocFrenzy · 13/12/2019 04:55

GEs have never been the same since Robin Day retired
and I used to love the swingometer

Have more belief in polling yet?

BigChocFrenzy · 13/12/2019 04:56

They started with 13 in Scotland

You'd think they try harder to save their former leader from skinny-dipping

LibDems and Labour not interested in getting together.

tobee · 13/12/2019 05:02

There must be someone other than Layla!

TheMustressMhor · 13/12/2019 05:02

Tories need 4 seats to win.

Alsohuman · 13/12/2019 05:03

They’ve won already.

Bollocks. Johnson, Gove et al are going to be absolutely insufferable for days, weeks, months, years...

Gareth Snell, who lost in Stoke-on-Trent Central, blaming Labour Remainers / centrists:

It’s a lovely and toxic combination of the fact that the message in Stoke-on-Trent that’s been heard by the voters is that the Labour party tried to stop Brexit.

It would be remiss of me not to mention that Jeremy Corbyn has come up on the doorsteps.
Some people really like him.
Some people really dislike him, and that has been a turnoff.

But John [McDonnell] is right to say that it’s Brexit.

The Labour party had a choice when Theresa May presented her deal.
We could either have stopped the Tories or we could have stopped Brexit.

And unfortunately some of the siren voices in the shadow cabinet who have big Liberal Democrat votes in their London seats decided that stopping Brexit
and therefore lining themselves up for future leadership bids, was much more important than respecting the votes in marginal constituencies in the midlands and in the north west and the north east.

And they’ve sacrificed us for whatever political ambitions they want to do next.

Alsohuman · 13/12/2019 05:06

Skinner’s lost his seat. Bolsover voters really are ungrateful bastards.

BigChocFrenzy · 13/12/2019 05:06

Why the fuck does it have to be Layla ?

Is there some rule that an MP with a willy can't become LDem leader ?

Five more years! Smile

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving socialist dinosaur.

I’m not good at arguing politics. I’m a remainer, this area as a whole was leave so I’m in a minority here. I think Labour in current form are not a good party. Conservative voters here are not stupid, it’s a valid choice to get Brexit, but so far the price of austerity has been high and I fear will get worse- I will be have happy to be wrong on tjis. I’m just going to lurk now for a bit.
