Which Tory is spouting bollocks on Sky right now? The manifesto was like a looming grey cloud when you've just put the washing out.

I'm on 4 at the minute. It's good light fun while there is still very little substance to discuss. Worth a watch at the minute. I'll probably end up switching between the others later on.

BTW: I voted for Labour in the end: I couldn't bring myself to vote Tory; ended up knocking on doors for 3 days for my Labour MP and continually spamming the Conservative facebook page. Our seat is marginal, so fingers crossed.

Key reasons were her refusal to debate Corbyn 1on1, her tacit support fro Trump over climate change and Mayor of London, and her decisions as home secretary with regards terrorism and police. She is not 'strong and stable' and I think she is an intellectual lightweight.

What I found interesting is that May would have called her snap election because Labour voters like me professed we were fed up with Corbyn. But when it came to it, May was simply not inspirational enough to desert Labour for. And as Corbyn spoke more, so he sounded like the real change the country needs. So I stayed. And I suspect millions more like me too.

This was the swing May was counting on. But she failed with millions of wavering labour voters, hence, she will get a reduced majority - I'm convinced ot it.

Their polls were different to their model. We thought the model was bullshit and wrote it off to focus on their polls :lol:

Oh right.

I was always happy with their model. Probably. :lol:
 
I can tell you the turnout is higher than usual. For the first time in many a year, I had to queue for a long time to vote.

Anyone know why Hastings people are so anti Amber Rudd? I'd have thought its quite prestigious to have your MP as such an influential cabinet minister.
Would be funny as funny if she got booted out!

That Sunderland Central swing to the Tories is very worrying. +11% is massive. Double digits. The UKIP vote has collapsed and gone to the Tories. Have to see how much it affects the returns.

Sunderland Central hasn't happened yet.
 
David Dimbleby always reminds me of your grandad who is never listening to anything and always pipes up to ask what someone just said. Like he's not 100% there and just randomly interrupts you for no reason at all to say something totally random.
 
Only 1k more than 2015 for Labour...

EDIT - Ignore!

I went on Question Time once and he came out to talk to us before the show. He's just as mad in real life. :lol:

feck sake, my constituency and the Tories are confident. I voted Salmond and he was supposed to be safe.

I feel your pain. I grew up in the Borders which always fluctuated between Tory and Lib dems. It's not over until the returning officer has spoken
 
3k more for Tories.

EDIT - Ignore!
 
If we can just go on like this for the next 647 seats...
 
I'll never understand why Welsh voters would vote to leave the EU, and then shift towards the Tories when they are in need of investment.
 
Labour hold Sunderland Central, small swing to Tories.
