General Election 2019

Blyth Valley was a Labour seat since 1950. Night of the long knives...

Remember how Swinson forced this election upon Labour because the polls looked slightly okay for them? That'll go down in history as one of the most selfish and misguided decisions ever.

SNP too but at least they come out of it with more seats.

I’d like to agree but Lab just lost a 50+ year seat.

Results and vote swings are confirming the exit polls. Writing is very much on the wall.

I get it like

second only to getting in bed with the tories and starting the ball rolling on this whole shitshow in the first place.

Still, Jo Swinson. Get it right up you.

Ron Campbell wasn't particularly nice though...

Ian Levy, new MP for Blyth Valley - and a mental health worker in the NHS.

The big baldy twat

Let's hope principles of the 1000+ Green voters in Blyth don't keep them up at night.

Dennis Skinner set to lose his seat. Thanks, The North.

Who’s going to get Brexit done and build a strong economy.

Fuck collaboration, Labour has to make itself electable, that's the only way to defeat the Conservatives.

Fear of a hung parliament also a factor? Lab never looked like winning, so a vote for cons was a vote to break deadlock. Sadly that's pretty hard to fight.

Now an elected MP baldy twat..

How do you unify everyone who isn't a Tory?

If the Brexit Party hadn't stood the Tories would have got even more.

Oh hai!

Now an elected MP baldy twat..

A canny move if his current employer is the NHS, you've got to admire his foresight.

Unless those votes are from labour leavers.

Og brexit referendum was a conspiracy for perma-tory England.

Ha. Grim.
