Its not over until the fat lady sings and I don't intend to put Adele on until about 4am. 

 

SD - What are your thoughts on Swinson possibly losing her seat? She might still win it of course but she might well not. Surely as leader of the Lib-Dems it should be a walkover? Is she a useless cunt?

Her losing her seat might be the only decent thing from tonight.

It was impossible to win this election on a remain supporting platform. Lib Dems went full out revoke and will get 12/13 seats?

 

The main problem for Labour was that the members wanted to remain, and the country clearly doesn't want to. You can say all you like about remain being ahead in the polls, but tonight's result makes it overwhelmingly clear that that has gone now. 

 

If you look at the last 3 elections, essentially all that happened was the UKIP vote came back to Labour in 2017 and has now gone over to the Tories, and that's the difference.

Between the attacks from the media, the Zionist lobby and the Progress pricks in his own party, Corbyn had to endure the most vicious attacks that I have ever known any British political leader suffer. He threatened the establishment and when you do that they come for you with everything they've got. 

 

It shows us, though, that the status quo can be rattled and the left should learn from this election. Changing it, though, is another matter; anyone who thinks that this Parliamentary democracy represents either protection or advancement for the mass of working people of this country is deluded, but that perception is what we have to change. Yet Parliament is a great representation of our country - corrupted, divided and ultimately unwilling to change. Something more radical than a honest, orderly campaign - no matter how visionary - is not enough. This country needs an earthquake.

Sunderland to declare first and if it's Sunderland Central apparently it might be Tory, which is fucking nuts.

It's insane mate. You've got Halifax, Wakefield and Don Valley in our neck of the woods looking like swinging to the Tories. Madness.

If Labour do get smashed, Corbyn is the true villain of the piece. His sticking around like a bad smell when it’s been clear for years and years the wider electorate wanted nothing to do with him will have facilitated Tory domination & whatever no-holds-barred Brexit comes to pass as a result. Shame on him.
