I need a new info bubble

People don’t **** care what the conservatives were offering, they knew what they were getting – and many of those who voted Tory seem to have done it through gritted teeth.

It’s just that what Labour were offering scared them.

Better the devil you know. Brexit is a known quantity now, Corbynism isn’t – and people weren’t prepared to take a risk again.

Need more popcorn

Brexit is a known quantity now.

Errrrrm…

If you supported Corbyn then you’re a ****ing idiot. It’s that simple

No, it’s not. Shouting abuse at us isn’t going to change that. **** off and go to bed mate seriously.

I blame Ed Milliband. If he hadn’t run vs David, I reckon the latter would have done better in 2015.

I don’t care – but why does the pound start rising when we’re on our way to Brexit?

Because markets like certainty. Buy on rumour, sell on fact. It would have gone up no matter who won as long as someone got a majority. Most of a conservative majority had already been priced into the pound. Don’t expect it to stay that way as the quick brexit turn out to drag on for months or years.

It was Brexit not Corbyn FFS. How do I know because we had an election not long ago with him as the leader.

If it was Brexit they would have been murdered during the 2017 election, back then people knew less about Corbyn and were less scared of him. The intervening years allowed him to show his colours and allowed the conservatives to character assassinate him – because it’s **** easy to do that to him.

It was Corbym – and momentum need to **** off and die and let the grown ups take charge of the labour party again.

Hysteria much gentlemen? Lewis Goodhall of Sky points out the the Exit Poll includes 65 seats that are ‘too close to call’ from data by Britain Elects. I’m not holding my breath but the schadenfreude will be strong if:

a) It’s a hung parliament or wafer thin Tory majority

b) Uxbridge elect the Labour MP.

Small wins, I know but we need more consensus politics for the next session not tribalism. EDIT We need at least 2 more hung parliaments to encourage the fools to work together for the betterment of all.

Also if you are a non-Tory voter but didn’t vote for the candidate that was in a strong second to remove the Tory you have only yourself to blame.

If the Labour Party cling to the belief that it was Brexit not Corbyn and so stay a corbynite party into the next election they will a) lose more seats and b) find something else to blame.

Probably Jews.

Are we going to see Ruth Davidson in the buff then?

I’m watching TV now but on the radio Marr and other BBC bods were quick to say Boris would go all One Nation with big spending plans and a soft Brexit.

Whilst I’d love that to be the case, nothing he has done to date gives me any confidence that’s how it’s going to go…

I’m not growing a mullet again.

I don’t care – but why does the pound start rising when we’re on our way to Brexit?

Business (and lenders / investors especially) need certainty. And generally downsides have upsides so that attracts some investors. Bear in mind that those that decided not in invest in UK plc post Brexit have already bailed. So today reflects an expectation of slight inflow of capital.

I can’t see how they have any other option if they’ve overseen such a (projected) fall in Labour’s seat share.

They will just blame Brexit. The next (post Brexit) election will have to be lost before the lesson is learned that even if people want some more left wing policies, they need to be reassured that they won’t only get left wing policies if they vote Labour. That reassurance can’t come from someone like Corbyn, especially if he is listening to Milne, Murray, Len & Co.

Steady on please raybanwomble that’s not a funny joke.

So, Scotland. Interesting if that exit polls is true.

P.s maybe we might get Keir Starmer now? Some hope for labour?

Pps. ZERO seats for Brexit party which is not such a loss for those faking arseholes

How do you figure that? Ukip/brexit party didn’t pull candidates in order to get brexit done in 2017. May didn’t have a get brexit done slogan and an oven ready brexit plan. She also didn’t hide in a fridge.

She had some pretty good Brexit slogans and she also didn’t ignore a sick kid on a hospital floor. Still, Corbyn performed pretty miserably against someone who had less of a clear message as well.

It was fear of a Red Corbyn Christmas, 100 percent.

It was Brexit not Corbyn FFS. How do I know because we had an election not long ago with him as the leader.

But that was against the Maybot not Boris the messiah. This has been a popularity contest not a serious election.
