General Election 2017

[tinycowboy]

I'm genuinely surprised that there are 15,000 Tories in Sunderland.

Another that didn't fit with the exit polls

John Curtis might be swinging from the balcony come the morning.

Dimbleby on BBC is getting on my tits now.

What is the ITV coverage like? It is it like their world cup shambles where when a match is shown on both channels, nobody watches Andy Townsend and the other plebs?

DD is annoying and overrated.

Give ITV a shot. They were great last time, and have added Osborne and Balls who are excellent. You can't argue with their experience and they are actually being non partizan.

When Brexit results started coming remain thought they had won so these early results mean nothing

Sunderland Central - almost exactly as YouGov predict again! In fact Labour doing slightly better in all three.

But in 2 losing votes to the tories

Amex Stadium namecheck.

 

[Ernest]

Are they in Dicks ?

 

[SuperFurrySeagull]

Live from the Amex now

Matt cartoon, It turns out that the voters are bloody difficult as well

Arrrrrgh! Just checked the booze stash. Wife went shopping and bought no beer! Fridge empty and facing sitting here drinking her Prosecco! Might have to retire injured when the current bottle is empty.

I actually agree with you. I went for a nap and Remain was the winner and a glum Farage threw in the towel. Waking a couple of hours later to the Brexit win.

Similar in 2015, Exit Polls certain no Cameron outright win, but the country woke to an overall majority for Cameron.

A monsoon has knocked out my satellite signal. Only Priti Patel whining though.

Me too. Brighton Kemptown is buffering in the most alarming way.

Exit polls may not have accounted for Tory postal voters apparently.

Must be an old bottle of Xmas Sherry or Advocaat in the cupboard?

You think someone might have thought of that

Just tried ITV.
Whenever I see Owen Jones on telly he gets ridiculously defensive if someone disagrees him.

At teh cost of UKIP.
