Tomorrow

[City123]

Labour gain Battersea

Holy shit.

[City123]

Labour gain Sheffield Hallam from Lib Dems, unfortunately Boris holds his seat next Tory leader?

Labour hit 103 seats, Tories on 87, Lib Dems have 1, is this the end for them?

[MacAdder]

Nick Clegg cuts a sad figure as he loses his seat
Decent closing speech mind fair play

[City123]

Labour gain Cardiff North and now have 23 seats in Wales, so much for a Tory majority in Wales, eh?

My constituency, I thought that all the incumbent had to do was show up. Wow.

[Organ Morgan.]

Labour will demand a recount of the number of times Amber Rudd has asked for a recount in Hastings at this rate. I want to see the disappointment on her face as her constituency's results are announced before heading for the wooden hill.

[Organ Morgan.]

Not only did the ultra sleazy Keith Vaz hold his seat but he increased his majority and share of the vote.

[Organ Morgan.]

Feck, Rudd won.

[Llanedeyrnblue]

Not only did the ultra sleazy Keith Vaz hold his seat but he increased his majority and share of the vote.

And smarmy Salmond has bit the dust

[the other bob wilson]

The polls have consistently had the Tories at 40 per cent plus - Tory majority of 60 to 100 for me.

I sometimes give myself a pat on the back for being one of not very many people it seems who predicted that there could be a Tory majority Government in 2015, this time I got it completely wrong and I'm very pleased to have done so.

Realistically, I think the result is better than the Labour party dared hope for and, as someone who was only going to vote for them because of how Kevin Brennan assisted me in the past, I must say I was won around to becoming a committed supporter by both their manifesto and their leader (who I had been very critical of in the past).

However, best of all, the hubris of Theresa "I, me, mine" May who called an election when she already had a workable majority has, almost certainly, got the reward it deserved - the Conservatives just might end up with an overall majority, but there is no way they can represent it as some sort of endorsement of their strong and stable (what a joke!) leader.

I've been awake since about one and my lack of sleep was all made worthwhile by seeing the Prime Minister's "victory" speech after her constituency result was declared. She looked absolutely devastated and I think I'm right in saying she scuttled off without shaking the hands of all of the other candidates - I reckon she'll be gone within days, or maybe even hours.

[Taunton Blue Genie]

As I see it, Corbyn has done a lot better than expected (despite the right wing newspapers) but may indeed have to resign - and May, who will be victorious, will be seriously damaged. Her calling an election and refusing to appear in several fora with other leaders was totally gutless. For the record I have never voted for either party.

The above was written before the results started coming in. :smug:

I didn't dare believe the YouGov polls and thought younger voters would state a preference then stay in bed - but they didn't.

The real result is better for Labour than the most optimistic pre-election poll. Over 40% and trailing by only 3%.

The Labour big hitters who resigned then tried to oust Corbyn are now sheepishly queuing up to rejoin the Shadow Cabinet.

The Tories are in turmoil and May is politically finished.

And Sheffield Hallam went Labour!

What an amazing night. Time for bed now.

Absolutely amazing. I had no hope the youth would turn out but they did. They turned up in their droves to vote out Greg Mulholland in Leeds NW, and all over the country. What a result.

Would possibly have been a lot different if May wasn't completely, and utterly useless. Her position is untenable. The damage she has done...

[LordKenwyne]

No idea how Labour are claiming they have a mandate to lead the country.

Corbyn saying the people have spoken.

May was abysmal and still won

I wonder if they would question Corbyn's mandate if he had a minority lead looking for other seats to tip them over the edge.

Not taking anything away from Corbyn, as a landslide was expected. But those are the facts.

[Colonel Cærdiffi]

It's a bold move from Corbyn, to basically just start talking as if Labour won the election.

Is losing an overall majority and being force to beg the DUP to form a coalition (of chaos? ) really winning?

Imagine how well Labour would have done had the PLP supported Corbyn

Don't get me wrong it is a big failure for the conservatives.

I don't think labour can claim to speak for the UK either though!.

At this point nobody does

Well, not until October's election anyway

[celticknight]

So Corbyn was the "terrorist sympathiser" but the Tories are asking the DUP to prop up their government? Ironic.
