As a lifelong Conservative voter I wish all of the progressives well, all of the parties worked incredibly hard to get their message out in a very short space of time, on two occasions literally in terrifying conditions.

The people have spoken and the Conservatives need to listen. As for me I won't be whining on FB ant Twitter, the world hasn't ended, I won't be heading into the city to smash it up with my face covered and I most certainly won't be falling out with friends and family over this result, well done to Mr Corbyn.

A gracious post. And you're way too good looking to cover your face.

I am in the Worthing East and Shoreham constituency and I don't think I can recall a Labour vote of this size in my lifetime !

Unbelievable swing there. Nearly 20%

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Tories are gonna be the DUP's BITCHES!

But? Thats a 'coalition of chaos' surely? That would be a disaster for the country. The Tories said as much......

 

[CHAPPERS]

Wow, the ITV coverage is so much better than BBC

 

[BUTTERBALL]

That's it, official. Hung parliament. Bad for the country in terms of a negotiating position.

 

[Scotchegg]

No government is better than a bad government.

The same happened in Bexhill and Battle looking through the results. Biggest Labour vote ever there too in a safe Tory seat.

No one dies because of this result, in fact it might save lives as now the Tories will have to listen to the people. There is a "Magic Money Tree" which hopefully will now be made to scatter its fruit on the NHS,education and social care among many needs other than the needs of the banks. Those who had no part in the collapse of global finance should no longer have to pay for their mistakes in the form of continuing austerity.

What a mess!

You posted that as a picture of Theresa Villiers came on my screen.

It'll be a constant reminder that what I like to call the Tories are officially known as the Conservative and Unionist Party.

Off Twitter:

The irony of this election may be the Tories have to rely on a party that supports..

Terrorists

It's ok though, they're British ones.

I disagree. The onus is now on parliament to act like adults and have a sensible cross-party discussion about Brexit. Can they behave like adults? They're going to have to otherwise the public will toast them at the next election. There's way too much at stake now.

Southampton Itchen Tory hold by 31 votes.

 

[Machiavelli]

BBC now discussing the return/revenge of the 'shy Remainers'

 

[CHAPPERS]

As happy as I am that the tories are being rejected and the right wing press have been given the finger this is a total mess, all Cameron's fault.

Let's hope they do, fingers crossed.....i wouldn't bet on it though.
