Bad election all round really.

May still PM
Cabinet mostly the same
Tory party weakened
DUP can stick their oar in (and are a bit dodgy to say the least)
Corbyn has done fairly well but ultimately fallen short
The country is more divided than ever

They (Boris and co) really need to find a way to get rid of May sooner rather than later. If they don't or can't, then we'll no doubt end up bumbling through Brexit negotiations and plodding on...

This /thread. Not sure about booting May tho, at least shes a known quantity and won't start spending money we don't have on all sorts of nonesense to appease others , even with a reduced ability to get things through the commons.

My main takeaway was I think we should start to have campaign manifestos vetted by the BoE / GeS or similar, cos some of the stuff some parties where saying we could afford is quite ridiculous. It's irresponsible to promise things we can't afford to get a few votes.

The fallout from Labour and the remainers here is so tasty.

Don't feel sorry for us! We get to sit back and rub our hands with glee, watching the Tories self-destruct publicly :p

Just a shame we need another election to finally get rid of them :p But the damage to their party is worth the wait, imho.

you wot mate........... she'll be spending money on DUP vanity projects like they are going out of fashion if she wants them to prop her up. This couldn't be any worse
 
I've decided Theresa May looks like a cross between a vulture, and Vader with his mask off in RotJ

The tories still bang on about strong and stable. They were up against a man who has been an outsider all his political life and who came to the forefront because ordinary working class people didn't feel represented by any politician. Corbyn came from nowhere to win a leadership fight. Then had to circle the wagons to fight off backstabbing establishment suits in his own party, not once but twice. Stood in the House of Commons at every PMQ being jeered and laughed at by a gang of elitist schoolyard kids. Hammered in the right wing press by multi millionaire owners who despise the plebs, throwing every bit of dirt they could. And how much moral strength did it take not to rise to it and retaliate in kind? A man of principle and compassion. Not in it for himself or his rich mates. Only one strong and stable leader that I've seen on my TV recently.

It's just deflection, he's dying inside.

Has Kensington announced?

Not yet. I believe there was a 50 vote favour to labour after the first count. There were irregularities in the second count so they were all sent home before it was completed. The recount has started again.

yeah like him or loathe him you have to tip your cap to him. He has taken nearly 2 years of systematic abuse from the daily heil, sun, epxress, telegraph, 2 Tory leaders who basically pointed and said WTF ROFL, and yet he still got 40% of the vote, and even took seats from Tory strongholds. He must be doing something right for that to happen ?

Yes. He must be sobbing that his increased MP numbers have given the DUP an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the LibDems.

Care to explain?

Very much doubt this will harm the DUP at all.

With the demise of the UUP and the SDLP there's really only two parties to vote for in N.Ireland
