The thing is, May's Brexit strategy has just been to repeat "Strong and stable", "Best for Britain", and "Brexit means Brexit" continuously. We have no idea now what her actual strategy is going to be.
 
Bloody Hell! Alasdair Campbell just said something I agreed with. He remarked that if the poll is right or close to right, then it means the national papers have lost a lot of the clout they used to because they were going all out against Labour which is a good thing.
 
Exit poll said marginal Broxtowe falling to Labour... Tories (Anna Soubry) now think they'll hold it... more leaks in the exit poll?
Soubry is an oddity imho, she recently slagged her constituency off and called them racists, the general opinion of people who I know who live in Broxtowe is that she's hated there. Just the other day it ws revealed she lives in Charnwood, rural Leicestershire. Not living in your constituency isnt really an issue but she told them she was moving to Beeston.

Yeah - it's been a bad play banking on poor JC ratings.
 
Sunderland Central has bigger swing to Conservative. That's another hit against that exit poll

On the other hand it isn't winning them anything - though not really expected in these seats - but could be a theme of the night of Cons making gains that aren't necessarily helping them to win.

Will 100% matter in all the marginals should this swing be repeated across the country.
 
With the talk of Hastings and Telford being very close it could be quite some time before anything certain is known.
