18 years damn.
@esmufc07 how long now?
Tory policies will cause even more hardship. Brexit will be a mess. Tories have over promised and will under deliver.
Watch Jez cling on. He’s got to feck off
too many stupid people around for that to happen. Same here in the US
Well that's the mandate for Brexit.
Good luck guys.
Good luck guys.
Both sides are guilty of pushing the left vs right narrative.
I mean on here alone, being more central is seen as totally wrong. Even though it's clearly, more now than ever, not something to be dismissed.
McDonnell is getting torn to shreds on this very subject right now. If Labour stick with Corbyn and his ilk, they would have fecked us all for an opposition for a very long time.
It will take labour a long time to recover from the last few years.
Evil bastards in power now
People whinging about it being Corbyns fault is laughable, its the poor buying into Brexit bollocks voting against their self interest as per usual. you can only lead a horse to water...
He's tried to drag the overton window back from the far right, but they've fallen to the tricks of the trade again.
feck em, i've voted and canvased for policies that will help the vulnerable and marginalised majority of the country and if they want to have the tory's let them have it. I'm fortune enough that ill survive under either government, many of those who voted tory will not.

This. Running around calling everyone stupid is wrong, especially when if we were all so smart voting Labour we should have seen this coming ourselves.
Such a great night. We get brexit and keep out Corbyn. What a time to be alive.
No.Did you ever think otherwise?
Look Labour. I want to like you.
Stop this red flag waving momentum bullshit, drop the Lenin cosplay and elect a fecking centrist. Keir Starmer or even dig up Gordon Brown. Don't nominate another one like this.

He should do, if the poll is right their manifesto will be the new longest suicide note in history.
The only consolation with a heavy defeat is that it should force Labour to look at itself and try and position itself into a more electable position.
Tories played it simple with a straight bat wrt brexit, and they won. Most predicted it.
You know, I feel a little bit less bad about my fellow Hungarians voting for Fidesz over and over again now. If the UK, with all its proud democratic tradition, keeps electing the fecking Tories after their last, well, decade then we really have nothing to be ashamed of.
Why does Jim Morrison's famous rant 'you're all a bunch of fecking idiots' keep resounding in my head? Seriously, i mean wow! Another 4 more years of cuts to look forward to instead of even the faintest hope for change.
Why 8 years?
No bonus. Just kudos and tradition that Sunderland declare first. It's not like they have anything else to shout about.
@lewwoo *high five*
Tories also going to adjust boundaries. I am leaving.
At least now labour can make a clean break from Corbyn.
With Johnson and co. at the helm, you will be at the racist cheeto's mercy though.
Oh come on.
I did and sadly now never to return assuming Brexit occurs. Ireland still a possibility I suppose. A very sad day for the UK.
My thoughts exactly. I really wish we could split the country, with the NHS on our side, and feck all on their side. All those working class traitors can rot in hell after being worked to death by Tory capitalists.
Tories will repeal the fixed term parliament act, and they'll go back to calling one after 4 years if they're looking good in the polls.
What baffles me is how an exit poll of around 25000 spread over 144 areas can be so accurate.
I cannot believe this.
I'm from a cosmopolitan city (manchester) but I work all over the UK, from Scotland, to Cornwall, north wales to London and I have seen first hand the differences in attitudes and beliefs from town to town. Patriotism and anti eu sentiments, despite the former being acceptable, are rife in certain places and non existent in others.
I am not surprised in the slightest the tories have done so well. The country is bigger than London, Manchester, Liverpool and birmingham.

Plenty of room up here if it works out for us and we don't all starve within the first couple of years, if anyone is looking for a new place to stay.
Good luck with that. Momentum will likely try and get a loyalist installed to replace him.
The only good thing about this for me is that the DUP have lost all influence they ever had. Now I have fingers crossed that they get fecked in NI elections
Not really. Labour + Lib Dem + Green + SNP might still get over 50% of the vote. Remain support sits at + 52% in the polls.
The issue is that the Lib Dems squeezed Labour. In 2017 the Tories sat on 42.4% of the vote, Labour 40.0%, 40% of the vote is normally majority territory. Labour only got 43.2% in the 1997 landslide
But with Lib Dems squeezing Labour, you get a big Tory majority.
