"How could this happen!?"....

Claim exasperated heads of the FSB & GRU this morning...

But again the normal rules of politics don't seem to apply to Corbyn, especially when he has so many supporters in the TV industry lol.

You do know the campaign is over and you don't have to carry on telling bare faced lies in order to try and convert people don't you?

Jesus wept.

Ooooo my acquaintance Darren Jones won Bristol north west!! Great result - he's a really decent person. Studied alongside him before

 

[datalol-jack]

It is done.

Good things to come out of this though Scotland a little more secure going forward well maybe. Brexit for me though is dead even though I supported it. We will either be half in of half out unable to trade with the world as still in the customs union, and reliant on the EU making trade deals which they haven't done much of in 40 odd years.

Probably better for country now that we have a parliamentary vote and overturn Article 50 and perhaps negotiate free movement or immigration controls differently with EU again where Cameron failed, and then later have another election after fixed term.

Don't forget that Corbyn has made it clear he does not oppose idea of leaving single market etc. EU have made it clear too that single market access = buying into free movement. No wriggle room.

Brexit not dead by any means as essentially both the main parties are prepared to proceed with it.

tory voters still by and large disillusional about the reason they lost this time. TM lost you so many votes, far to right wing, far to authoritarian. A crazy power grabbing wannabe dictator and Tories paid for it.

As a Tory voter, I predicted this shortly after she launched HER manifesto #selfrekt

 

[Scrutinize]

Irrelevant under our system. All that matters is the number of seats you get.

Not irrelevant, we have a hung parliament, most major cities Inc London have gone red and if there is a further election Labour could easily win it.

Public support for Corbyn is stronger than the Miliband/Brown Labour party.

Tory thanks to May have lost a huge swathe of public support.

Don't forget I am a die hard conservative but since Cameron/Osborne left they have not presented a credible party, government or manifesto.

 

[Azza]

So we're all losers then.

A country of losers.

How sad.

Bang on again my friend.

That leaves us unable to trade outside as still in customs union. Unless they can still get this Brexit for me is pointless.

Who are the remaining 4 Seats left and who are they likely to vote for?

 

[The_One]

Corbyn live now

hes deluded!! hes basically claiming a victory

 

[The Running Man]

Thing is though those who voted for Labour knew they'd lose but the pound has dropped 10% this morning and this is the worst possible outcome for the country.

So stupid decisions made.

Corbyn live now

You're deluded and quite frankly daft if you can't see why he's one of the few politicians happy with these results

It's funny seeing those who predicted a landslide Tory win squirm and instead of criticising supreme leader May they're still bashing Corbyn

 

[Scrutinize]

Corbyn live now

hes deluded!! hes basically claiming a victory

It is though, he may not be PM but May lost, he gained huge support in raw numbers so has the clear backing of both the UK public and his party members which means his disruptive MPs either join him or leave the party.

 

[platypus]

thats the biggest shock to me! I did not expect london or city of london to go red.

I think they "went red" because it was a way of stopping Herr May getting a bigger majority. I don't think Corbyn won more votes.

 

[Azza]

I guess this is where the phrase "butthurt" is rather apt.

 

[The_One]

may lost seats

she won the election!


if arsenal lose 10 - 0 to Bayern munich then next year lose 5 - 0 that is not a victory its still a loss lol!!

 

[Nitefly]

If Corbyn didn't 'win' then he certainly did the best out of the losers.

Gaining seats > losing a majority in an election you didn't have to call

Democracy is never stupid, we may disagree with the results but thankfully we have a democratic process where dictatorial leaders like May don't get to hold absolute power.
