  • Yes. I despise her more than ever now.

  • Plus the 10 DUP MPs who I think wouldn't be able to vote on education bills, though I could be wrong on that.

  • Have Fiona Hill & Nick Timothy been lynched in Parliament Square yet?

  • Yes.

    Corbyn has been quiet today... I wonder what he's up to.

    Mad labour only had 792,967 less voted than Conservative.

  • Smashing cones and pints of cold lager I hope.

  • massive ket and cider bender.

  • I duno but there's a facebook group organising to go to the pub a couple of doors down from his house tonight.

  • I bet his allotment is in a right old state after 7 weeks of neglect.

  • Anagram of the day:

    BUDGET IRON LADY IN ABSOLUTE SHOCKER =

    LABOUR COALITION'S DEBT-GREEDY HUNKS

  • Armando Iannucci will be on Question Time tonight. Probably worth watching.

  • I'm on my way to meet some mate's there now.

  • Appalling! Sort that apostrophe out

  • Swype is the moderator of my grammar.

  • OK, had a look at the data and tactical2017's suggestions were "correct" (their suggestion was either won or came 2nd) in 573/632 constituencies (leaving NI out of it).

    They were "wrong" (i.e. their suggestion came 3rd or worse) in 59. 58 times it was suggesting LDem, the only other one was the suggestion of voting Green in Isle of Wight (3rd behind Con and Lab).

    Also, of those 58 of them it didn't matter as the Conservative winner got more votes than the 2nd place candidate and the candidate tactical2017 were suggesting.

    The one remaining constituency was Portsmouth South were tactical2017 suggested voting LDem but they came third, but Labour still won (with Tories coming 2nd).

    tl;dr tactical2017's suggestions did not split the vote and hand the Tories a win in any constituency

    [EDIT] FYI @Velocio

  • Do you reckon it's going to be big down there? The FB event is pretty popular.

    Might head over to see what the fuss is about/cheer randomly.

  • That's good. I was torn in my constituency where Con were holding, and Lib was the suggestion on the tactical voting machines. A friend of mine who is involved in local politics said a Lab swing was more likely so I voted Lab. Con won, then Lab, then Lib.

  • Come! Meeting Woody and Russ in a bit.

  • Gonna be there? I'll keep me eyes peeled/come find us.

  • So, with a working 'Government' majority of 2, Ken Clarke is suddenly in a position to cause no end of trouble ...

  • I think the strange thing is the volatility of the vote swings-16%?

    Yes, very much so. It seems to be something similar as with the UKIP drops in the UK, although I'm of too little brain to work out how exactly.

  • Enjoying these, continue!

  • Would that be the Bedford Tavern?

  • Yeah will swing by on the way home for a couple and some heavy #JezWeCan chants
