Stanley Johnson on Channel 4 is possibly madder than Boris.

Yeah – Scottish people aren’t any cleverer than the English – they just have an alternative centrist party.

Blame Labour’s useless leadership?

The membership started this. I don’t blame Corbyn alone.

Lights, bike, ride, forget (for a bit) 😢

Yes John, the good thing about sitting on the fence is that you can pretend it doesn’t matter. ****.

Don’t pin all this on Corbyn. It’s way more complicated than that. I know you’re pissed off, but really. This whole thing goes back to Thatcher via Blair. Corbyn was the choice of the party because it wants a leftist agenda. So much led us to where we are now, not just Corbyn.

I’m sorry Molegrips but it’s not, he’s give the most repugnant PM since a Thatcher a majority not seen since she was in power.

Labour need a Blair moment, if they wheel out another hardcore socialist they’ll just be less popular.

Classic Seumas.

Long game, comrades, long game…

They have based the exit poll results on asking 24K people in several hundred constituencies and extrapolated to 30+ million votes – that is some weak ass data and incredibly poor resolution. If I presented that at work I would be laughed out of the meeting.

(clutching at straws….)

Binners, I t’s hard to argue with that! Well said.

Lol at corbynite line that it was Brexit. No. Momentum and JC have given us hard Brexit Boris for at least 5 years.

Agree with Binners, we in the UK do not have a culture of left wing politics of the Corbyn variety. Along with the many more personal reasons to dislike the man and his inner circle, this made this result all but pretty predictable – I said months and months ago that the labour leadership and their dithering would cause a massive backlash.

Can’t say we didn’t **** tell you.

1000 year Tory Reich it is!

Binners, I t’s hard to argue with that!

Not that hard to argue with binners “logic”.
If Labour had come out for remain, as most on here have been asking for, the result would have been different? It would. Con majority would have been bigger.
IF the exit poll is right then Leave voters have come out in force and demonstrated that remainers are in the minority again.
Like others I hope the exit polls are wrong.I fear we will be disappointed.

Douglas Alexander on BBC Scotland.

“Corbynism has been tested to destruction”

In theory, you can still live and work in Ireland after Brexit…

If the exit polls are right then I suggest that this conservative majority is down to parliament blocking May’s comparatively moderate Brexit deal and has played right into the hands of the extreme Brexiteers.Parliament obstructed the referendum result and the public have responded.

My feelings exactly. I wrote to my MP despite being a remain voter, asking her to back May’s deal because I felt if it didn’t go through eventually something worse would. Looks like thats going to happen and she’ll probably be out of a job 🙁

No it was Brexit. Corbyn was trapped on the fence and that cost him. Victim of circumstance, because he made himself into the man who had to respect democracy. Blair won because he was messianic, he did what he wanted to do. Corbyn was never like that and couldn’t have been.

It wasn’t Brexit.

It’s that people were more worried by Corbyn than Brexit.

Ya’ll true believers keep telling yourself that though.

Sigh, I agree with Binners

Sydney is literally on fire…. and I’d still rather be here.

So, looking into this data a little more (according to the BBC news feed).

They have asked 23,790 people at 144 polling stations.

The reality is there are 650 seats and 30 odd million voters, how the hell can you take the exit poll seriously??

They have taken the word of the very few people from each polling station who were prepared to tell them who they voted for. That is 165 people at each of the exit polls they surveyed. That is a very small sample and it is very easy to skew the result based on such a small sample size.

Corbyn has failed for much the same reasons that Michael Foot, a generation ago, failed. Nothing to do with Brexit.

It only took Neil Kinnock a decade to sort out the Labour party and get it to the point where Blair could win.

Get ready for 2035!

It wasn’t Brexit.

And yet that’s all the largest party is offering….
