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.
