UK General Election - 12th December 2019 | Con 365, Lab 203, LD 11, SNP 48, Other 23 - Tory Majority of 80

[Bojan11]

If only they chose David over Ed.

 

[Redlambs]

John McDonnell looks absolutely gutted and shocked.

 

[Grinner]

All down to Jeremy Corbyn. Anyone with half a brain can see how weak and uninspiring he is. Losing 70 seats to a moron like Boris Johnson takes some doing.

Said it before, all down to Labour's incredibly flawed leadership election process.

No, it's down to the people who voted for Boris and co.

 

[Eire Red United]

Fools.

 

[fergieisold]

I honestly cannot believe all that after 10 years of cuts, cuts, cuts and some of the most lying and deceiving people running the Tories people vote them in. I honestly think people should be tested to vote.

I suppose the question is, are things really that bad? The public have said no.

 

[711]

It's the thick heartless cnuts in Momentum and the Shadow Cabinet, you mean.....

Correct. This is primarily a defeat for Momentum and their allies.

 

[BIGbadBOO4]

just shows how lies and deception are more powerful than ever ... and people dumber than ever before

Well said that man.

 

[Ady87]

I’d have strangled Priti Patel if I’d have been in her presence tonight.

 

[Rams]

On the positive note at least the Tory opposition have 5 years to get their house in order, whilst Boris & chums have no where to hide and all their lies & false promises come back to haunt them. Could well be the death of the Tory party in the long term.

 

[Adisa]

Party gets their biggest majority after imposing a decade of austerity.

 

[esmufc07]

Why at the most critical point in this country’s recent history did we have to end up with fecking Corbyn.

 

[VeevaVee]

I don't understand how anyone can defend them. You can all the voters idiots and all that, but Labour clearly failed to connect with voters and it shows.

They need to reshape the party and rebuil.

Brexit empowered people who have clearly shown they can't be trusted with a vote, and it's separated the country in to right wing vs 'lefties', which has now, in my opinion, ended up with them wanting to stick it to lefty Corbyn supporters, as well as get their precious Brexit, even though it's an absolute shitfest.

 

[hobbers]

The end of McDonnell. Great.

 

[Ubik]

Correct. This is primarily a defeat for Momentum and their allies.

It's not a defeat, because they still have control over the party.

 

[2mufc0]

I honestly cannot believe all that after 10 years of cuts, cuts, cuts and some of the most lying and deceiving people running the Tories people vote them in. I honestly think people should be tested to vote.

Brexit, there's a weird fixation with it. It doesn't help that opposition parties were doing the upmost to stop it which entrenched the right wing brexiteers even more.

 

[TheReligion]

Scotland are gunna feck off and leave us with these twats forever aren't they.

How can they? The Tories won't give them independence

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

John McDonnell looks dejected

 

[onemanarmy]

To the 2020 US elections thread!

 

[Dans]

Does Naga think she is doing kids TV? FFS, show some gravitas.

WIth a possible 368 on the cards, Naga is all that some have left tonight.

 

[Ady87]

Did they say the exit poll is 20k questioned in 650 seats? 30 people per seat?

 

[Redlambs]

Horrible news but sadly not too unexpected. A few people on here must have been blown out of their echo chamber. If you dared suggest Corbyn was a dim-witted, baggage laden mediocrity, you had your head bitten off and were told to educate yourself by reading Chomsky.

That won't change and neither will Labour.

All the while the same excuses will be made over and over whilst the country slides further into the mire.

 

[Beachryan]

Less informed for sure. Murdoch has won the world.

 

[horsechoker]

The Tories won't die, they're the cockroaches in the nuclear holocaust.

 

[RK]

Gutted.
Silver lining is that the tories have no excuses now. We go again in 2024 with a cleaner slate and hopefully a smarter campaign.

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

@Damien, keep a note of all the people who voted for the Tories, then when people start posting GoFundMe's for medical care in the next few years you know which ones to delete.

 

[sammsky1]

IF the exit poll is correct, it would seem that the LEAVE support has strengthened even further.

Which would mean its time for Remainers like me to accept properly accept defeat and get on the Brexit bus.

 

[Pexbo]

I’d have strangled Priti Patel if I’d have been in her presence tonight.

No idea why she’s so smug, her and Javid will be our on their arse in the first reshuffle. The positive discrimination is no longer necessary.

 

[Fluctuation0161]

just shows how lies and deception are more powerful than ever ... and people dumber than ever before

Yep. 100%.

 

[balaks]

Tories in power for the next 8 years at least most likely

 

[Smores]

We're a racist country that hates the poor. Not exactly news but feck me is this a depressing confirmation of it.

That's the truth of it, blame Corbyn and Swinson all you like but it's the voters first and foremost.

 

[sammsky1]

Exit poll is rarely far off the truth, 92 was the exception but it was wrong by 70 seats.

We'd need a major gaffe by polls tonight.

unlikely given the digital analytics era that we live.

 

[17Larsson]

If there's a positive then maybe it's that they won't need to bend over for the DUP/ERG anymore

 

[Hephaestus]

To the 2020 US elections thread!

Yeah, might be fun to watch a country reelect a blonde lunatic who isn't fit to run a christmas panto let alone a country and know that at least this time there is an ocean separating us.

 

[Skills]

On the positive note at least the Tory opposition have 5 years to get their house in order, whilst Boris & chums have no where to hide and all their lies & false promises come back to haunt them. Could well be the death of the Tory party in the long term.

Hasn't happened for the last 10 years they've ran the country. As long as the media is in their backpocket, they'll never be held accoutable

 

[VeevaVee]

IF the exit poll is correct, it would seem that the LEAVE support has strengthened even further.

Which would mean its time for Remainers like me to accept properly accept defeat and get on the Brexit bus.

Not for me. I won't accept it til there's some credibility to it all. Certainly not just because of certain people in this shitty country thinking (or not) that it's a good idea.

 

[FootballHQ]

barry gardiner on Sky looks and sounds broken

Same with John McDonnell on BBC.

The experiment is over for labour, mass resignations in the morning just like in 2015.

 

[sammsky1]

We're a racist country that hates the poor. Not exactly news but feck me is this a depressing confirmation of it.

Did you ever think otherwise?

 

[JinnerJamie]

Labour fan TV should be good

 

[Ady87]

No idea why she’s so smug, her and Javid will be our on their arse in the first reshuffle. The positive discrimination is no longer necessary.

Hopefully mate.

I really would love to get out and about in Conservative heartlands and see how these people live and who they are. They obviously live in an alternate reality to me.

 

[balaks]

No, it's down to the people who voted for Boris and co.

Corbyn is a big part of this, you can't ignore that he has been an utter failure.
