    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU……………………!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Con gain
    Hyndburn
    Party	Candidate		Votes	%
    Con	Sara Britcliffe		20,565	48.5

    Graham Jones has (narrowly) been our MP for as long as I can remember. Something stinks here.

    It’s all over, isn’t it.

    It ain’t over til its over. They are down to a majority of 31. We knew the red wall was going to fall. Maybe the entire south goes labour to reamin.

    I hope you’re right, but at this point I can but admire your optimism.

    I can but admire your optimism.

    Is it optimism if it’s merely utter dread of the alternative?

    Twitter suggests that apples are made out of gravel.

    I do hope it’s true, but we’re gonna need a source for that.

    Corbyns true believers like Ash Sakar retweeting this…

    Two really good points from
    @novaramedia
    :

    1.
    @AyoCaesar
    : “the project is socialism, not Corbynism”.

    2.
    @AaronBastani
    : “this is a 30+ year project”. One election is just one battle in a much longer class struggle.

    Anyone who thinks socialism depends on one election is v wrong

    Hahah batten down on the stupidity for the cause comrades, that’ll learn em!

    He hasn’t resigned but he did say in his speech that he wouldn’t lead labour into the next GE.

    Corbyn just stated he’s going to stay on to oversee Labours period of introspection and to help oversee the leader election.

    Lol.

    So more **** wittery then.

    Rabb’s won his seat by losing 20,000 of his 23,000 majority from last election. 18% swing, or twice labour’s swing in the north. Close but no cigar.

    I despair.

    I’d start drinking heavily if I didn’t have work in five hours. I should probably try and get some sleep, like that’s going to happen.

    The remarkable thing is the efficiency of the conservative vote. 30% more votes 50% more seats.

    It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas – the people have rejected division and hate, the politics of us vs. them.

    Hopefully this new re-invented Labour Party will have PR as an aim. Hillary Benn said problems were

    Brexit
    Corbyn
    Not believing they could deliver manifesto (ie too many promises)

    Agreed.

    Well, that’s that.

    What’s the betting that the ‘one nation’ Johnson talks of is ‘England’?

    High Peak has gone back to Tory by less than 1000 votes (0.9%).

    Depressingly just realised that brexit is a certainty now. Nothing can stop them. Jesus.

    Did you know that female hyenas have a faux penis?

    I am just reading amazing animal facts as I have the most hideous in laws coming round Saturday for dinner. They believe in the death penalty, brexit and foam at the mouth at any mention of immigrants.

    To get through after this election result, I’ll just resort to talking about my amazing animal facts (funnily enough, I don’t think they are familiar with facts)

    To all the people who voted green in Stroud, well done you just got yourselves a Tory MP.

    How Andrew Neil has the brass neck to grill everyone else on why it went the way it did, when Boris and the Tories played him like a fiddle and made him and the BBC look like a bunch of idiots is beyond me.

    Here in Bassetlaw the Tories took a 5000 deficit to a 14,000 lead. Tories have double the vote of Labour in an ex-mining community.

    That’s staggering.

    We were 69% leave and everyone I spoke to wanted Brexit.

    In hindsight Corbyn should’ve stuck with Leave and we could’ve had still worked with Leave but with a Labour government option.

    I fear with boundary changes – this may never be reversed.

    No point blaming anyone other than the electorate.

    Remain has been wiped out.

    What’s the logic of the pound climbing against the Euro if we’re definitely heading for Brexit?

    Great news to wake up to, what an early Christmas present. The result was a certainty outside of the ludicrous bubble in here, but what a margin!

    Err, no, the blame lies squarely with JC and his team. They have been an utterly useless opposition for the last 2 years.
    They should have got a landslide victory against the worst Government in 30 years, yet they have gone backwards by a long way, and it seems, still cannot see they are totally out of touch with the Electorate.

    Rone. Certainty. It gives people a clear view of where things are going.

    No point blaming anyone other than the electorate.

    While the swing in Brexit Labour seats has been something like 10-11% to the Tories, the swing in remain Labour seats has been 7-9% to the Tories. You can blame Brexit for a bit, but Corbyn’s Leadership has very obviously been a massive impact.

    No it doesn’t.

    The electorate made a choice which in 2017 excluded a 2nd ref. That’s pretty much the only thing that has changed for Labour.

    The electorate made the decision.
