Can only be student's turning up surely?  Doesn't fit with any pattern with other pure blue traditional tory seats.

Yeah, Tories didn't count on the young people showing up.

Turns out they care about Brexit after all.

I think there is only so much they can take.  Soaring house prices which make it impossible to buy a starter home even on a decent grad salary, student fees/grants etc, cost of living, minimum wage etc etc.  Social media engaging with them over the issues and tempting them into voting/discussing it with friends more and more.  Sooner or later they were going to really get stuck into politics and today was the day.  Don't even think Brexit would have been that big a deal tbh in the grand scheme of things to youngsters.


The problem is a good number have just jumped on a social media bandwagon.

My niece, at Bristol Uni, was s posting  various stuff about how to get the Tories out.

I asked her to explain, beyond they are crap etc, why the vitriol?

Not a clue.

Then what are Labour able to do that the Tories can't?

Not a clue.

And this is someone with a large social media(relatively) following in her peer group.

For all the stick the old folk get, I suspect they are slightly more informed across the board then many of our youngsters that are able to vote.


Anyway, I now need to find a catching all encompassing Wenger May Out slogan. Back later.

And now we have Farage talking about jumping on his shiny white steed to come and save us all.

Too late mate. You had your chance and left before the job was done and dusted.

What a mess that woman has left us in.

The Balirites trying to dig themselves out of holes are disgusting.  

Get them to f**k.

Disagree mate.

Assuming there is another election in a few months, if Labour get togther behind Corbyn, they win outright.

I know quite a few Labour natural voters who couldn't vote for him. I was nearly one of them tbh.

A united party behind Jezza is what they need.

The irony is now that the PLP is more centrist than if they'd lost massively (my new MP looks to fit that bill, as he didn't once refer to Corbyn in his campaign leaflets).  They have much to gain from unifying behind Corbyn as leader, at a time when the Tories will have the knives out for their own agendas.

Assuming there's another election in the next 6 months, the result could depend on which party unites most effectively.

Can anyone find the Anna Soubry interview suggesting that May should go.

Now here is a woman I could follow.

Telling us what she really thinks and not worried about the Party consequences.

Anna Soubry and Ken Clarke are going to be the key votes to give the tories a majority in parliament (once the UUP and DUP fall in line)  - that should be fun

May is not a leader. Looks like a frightened rabbit in front of cameras and if put under any pressure.

Got to go really.

Boris is just a clown.

Tories need to be bold - establishment type figures are liabilities.

Someone young like Ruth Davidson would be the type of leader who would be effective.

There's no chance May will resign. She doesn't care about the good of the country, or even the best for her party, she's solely interested in her own ego and the boost that the title of Prime Minister affords it. She's proved that time and time again. She'd need to be ousted.

She must be dreadful, because this time 12, even 6months ago, Cornyn was unelectable and a general laughing stock. Even amongst Labour supporters.

I met her about a year ago as part of a group to discuss a work related issue and I was really impressed with her.

Not a woman you'd like to get in to an argument with. Unless you like losing arguments of course.

Um.. What happens with these Brexit negotiations in 11 days then? May is fully prepared and the only person able to get the right deal isn't she? Hopefully she won't be too distracted by her abject failure and be able to appear strong and stable when dealing with the eurocrats.

Or does it now somehow get delayed?

The EU did suggest there was some wriggle room beyond 11 days, I mean it is going to take a few days to sort this crap out.

Salmond, Robertson, Clegg - 3 very vocal remainers - out

Farron , majority slashed

SNP - boohoo, weep weep, we want to be wee Europeans, lose a 1/3rd of their seats

What possible construct can people put on this result that it was some kind of revolt of the remainers - fake news izzit

It trivialises the fact that a socialist party just polled 41% - pretty incred
