What would happen with a Tory majority and no Boris?
Yet another leadership election?
Yet another leadership election?
It's incredible until you realise Hancock is the stand in should he lose his seat.
It this could be the only highlight in very bad night.
Raab too hopefully.
Calling a 16 year old a bitch to own the libs
What happens in this case in a majority Tory government? Who is PM?
sitzkrieg.
Some whispers from exit polls at Uxbridge and South Ruislip that Boris may be about to lose his seat.
Oh my god that would be amazing
Boris would be under incredible pressure to step down, but as outgoing PM's are typically offered peerages he could still be leader of the Conservatives as a lord and not a PM. Hasn't happened for like 100 years though.
You can actually still be PM without being an MP believe it or not.
A grown man having a pop at Greta is more like the actual definition of a snowflake.
PM is simply whoever wins a vote saying so in the Commons, doesn't have to be the leader of a party.
But I'm skeptical of a 5 point swing from an already high watermark in 2017, though his increased profile as PM could have raised turnout.
Imagine your own constituents not rating you and still being PM.
Voted labour, not optimistic mind.
Tories scoring strong in Scotland and the likes of Hull, Grimsby etc...would be a landslide.
Johnson might as well have spent the whole campaign in the fridge given Brexit.
They must put a lot of effort into analysis but at the end of the day it’s the same as any prediction/opinion poll for them. Hard to know how accurate the odds are without having their methods.
Couldn’t agree more. It’s pathetic honestly.
Why would an Aussie journalist know this? It would be funny as but until Kuenssberg is pictured sobbing into her latte I don't buy it.
Relax lads
Generally you'd expect that to benefit the PM given their higher profile, but Boris seems to be quite unpopular in Uxbridge since he was largely parachuted in. Would be fecking hilarious, but still very sceptical Labour will actually pull through.
Oh, that's just ridiculous.
I think get massacred more than slip. These bigots would vote for fecking Hitler to get their precious Brexit.
Surely not.....
Funnily (well, not so funnily), the conservatives brought Hitler to power because they thought they could control him, and thought that the socialists and communists were worse.
Not that there's any comparison... hopefully.
It's great until you realise that another Tory will ultimately take his position, push Brexit through, and Boris gets his paycheck and doesn't need to disclose where all his money is. And then he's free right away to go and work for one of his backers.
Guessing she has tory contacts through working at sky.
Yeah I was thinking the same but maybe because she is reporting from overseas, its doesn't apply ?Isn't she breaking electoral rules by disclosing this
If this is correct then I'll buy all of you toasters. I'm not even joking. feck it, it's Christmas!
Convinced the Uxbridge stuff is mischief. Only reason the Tories would be saying that is if they want to drag Labour activists away from other winnable seats.
Well, May nearly got defeated by the great Lord Buckethead.
Gammon will decide this election unfortunately.
Because my post was serious. Jesus.
