General Election 2019

Swinson too apparently

The irony is that Corbyn has always been a Leave supporter.

swinson deserves that

I mean I don't deny he should leave now.

"The very worst political behaviour is being given a mandate. It's being vindicated."

This is what I'm scared of now

The first ones to come in are usually Labour in the north east apparently so an early labour lead may not be indicative

If Boris loses they’ll either parachute him elsewhere

If the Tories get the result the exit polls are currently showing, they won't dare leave Boris out in the cold if he loses his seat.

looks like he'll get his wish and a happy retirement.

Let's watch Sunderland go Tory.

Vancouver. It's depressing enough watching this horror show from over here, without having to live it.

Let's watch Sunderland go Tory.

Their new MP can visit the factory as they shutter it, tell the workers that they'll have Universal Credit in a month and a half.

There were so many opportunities earlier in the year to get a soft Brexit over the line with a Theresa May deal but greed, power and ideology meant Labour held their cards for an election that they look to have been absolutely decimated in. They've been thoroughly outplayed.

Exit polls can be spectacularly wrong.

I also don't trust the fucking BBC not to pulling a Farage on Brexit night manoeuvre on currency fluctuations...

It's hard to figure out really.

Corbyn's policies are popular - 2017 showed that and they tended to play well again this year - but his personality is divisive.

Johnson doesn't really have policies that have been popular, and also doesn't seem to have a great image.

Does that suggest it was just about Brexit? Or do a significant part of the potentially Labour-voting public hate Corbyn that much?

As if he'd bother actually going up there.

Corbyn and Momentum have to wear that.

Die

Actually gutted

Does that suggest it was just about Brexit

I think so. Leave vote + Sun readership + corbyn fear

Why not wait till there's some real evidence of the extent of the damage before diagnosing the cause? Or are you folks all going to rewrite your analysis every hour till the last results are in?

so an early labour lead may not be indicative

It's always nice to take an early lead though.

Swinson on the ropes:

The exit poll is real evidence. It's not been sufficiently inaccurate for decades to cover this result.

BBC has a seat by seat predictor based on the exit poll.

Raab, IBS, Johnson etc all look safe. Even Teresa Villiers has above 90% chance of holding.

However Swinson has a 95% chance of losing her seat.

Goldsmith 95% likely to lose Richmond park.
