Results coming in fast now.

- Thread starter altodevil

Must be absolutely brutal to lose a seat you've held for years. Turning up to the results and hearing you're out of a job immediately.
Sun will resort to hard core porn to keep its readership.
Get onto C4, it's shamelessly tabloid but I'm having great fun.
Labour crushing it in London.
TOOT feckING TOOT!
Why is the Tooting declaring officer dressed like a wizard?
Bugger. I actually genuinely need to clear up if what I said was ok. I asked who the Black/Brown girl was... that's ok isn't it? My old sous chef and good fiend is Egyptian and refers to himself as brown.
I'm being (innocently) ignorant aren't Isomeone educate me!
Edit - and on second read of this post I've apparently gone straight to the "I've got a "insert race here" friend". fecksake.
you can't say brown, definitely not - it's horrendous
Labour smashed Tooting. Last time around it was close.
If there is another election, with Johnson leading the Tories, then Corbyn will ride the wave of this result and get a majority I reckon.
why is it? im on bbc at the moment, whats better about itv?
Edinburgh in general is intriguing, all four parties have areas they could quite easily take.
Lab Majority.
Whisper it.
Whisper it.
London apparently (and unsurprisingly) going almost all red.
Moral of the story... Always back the severe underdog before elections and lay it off on the night. Monday morning fecking quarterback
What happened to the hidden conservative support? Let me not be too cheeky till the final results come in though
You can afford to be cheeky from where you are, you don't have to live with the aftermath
. Binge spend on crap, and then the successor enacts a tonne of cuts. No smooth existence ahead here. That's before the foreign policy.This could be Britain's Donald Trump moment.
Corbyn is now favourite to be next PM
That just means a lot of betting on him has been placed. Bookies shorten their odds to not be out on their ass if it does happen.
That's what C4 was reporting, Tories worried about all their London seats.
I'm sure I just read Tory hold Carlisle.
Which is bad, as YouGov had Labour

Everyone's different in all fairness.
Some wouldn't bat an eye, some did it awful. I know someone who hates being called white. I don't believe there's any malice behind it in the most, or at least it's obvious when there is.
happens all the time at my work lol
So true given Ref, Trump and thisThat was Brexit
Glad I'm emigrating on this news Everyone else please turn the lights off on your way out.
Everyone else please turn the lights off on your way out.Yay, what a swing in Tooting. Ma brethren.
Yougov still on average doing strong thoughI'm sure I just read Tory hold Carlisle.

Don't necessarily disagree with any of what you said. Obviously they are what some people want. But, if they were dead set on coalition, they should have insisted on voting reform, no more FPTP.
Fresher, dynamic. Better audio, better pundits. Osborne is very good and fairly neutral. BBC's just seem old and drab with old-man Dimbleby moaning about microphones and flies.
That Tooting declaration was delicious. All the candidates clapping each other except the Tory guy. I hope to see similar in Parliament with a progressive coalition.
I apologise for that then. I've been lead astray by my Egyptian mate (although he moved here when he was about 6 and has adopted a western name). He's probably the least PC person you'll ever meet and is probably happily using it as an offensive term about himself.
No, not in this case. They follow Betfair Exchange generally. The liquidity for this is absolutely huge, so it isn't a case of people staking money as such. It's syndicates, Investment groups etc reacting to polls + results and factoring those in.
Agreed.
Doesn't he have a beef with May?
He's probably loving what a disastrous night it's looking for May.
Glad I'm emigrating on this news
I may move back to the UK
