Was he standing this time ?

L1011

Wonder who the +1 "other" is, there's only 18 seats in NI. There were a few strong independents around

No identity as a leader. Hard to figure out what he stood for on Brexit and the only other thing I associate with him is antisemitism and the never-ending issues surrounding that.

It was rejected by parliament and therefore consigned to the dustbin of history. He starts again with blank piece of paper.

Yeah he really doesn't when as far as the EU is concerned the deal is done

If Exit Poll is accurate it's Labour's worse result since G.E. 1935

With the SNP sweeping the board in Scotland, surely the constitutional question will be back in the limelight soon enough? Brexit England has basically told the other UK nations to basically suck it up here as we dont care about you.

Just to put this exit poll in its wider context.

I think it’s less about Brexit and more about Corbyn. His “take from the rich and give to the poor” was never going to work in a country that has a lot of relatively rich people.

Exactly. The Uk parliament rejected it but Boris signed up and thats what EU agreed to.

I think this vote is more "fed up with Brexit" than committed leavers.

The majority is 86

368 - (all other parties) 282 = 86

Digging into this a bit more. If it's accurate, it probably puts a second Scottish Independence referendum immediately back on the Calendar, and could bring forward a United Ireland considerably depending on the results there both tonight and in the next assembly elections (whenever the hell they might be).

This could be an extremely beneficial result for Scotland and Ireland in the long term.

Unfortunately neither of these two things will happen anytime soon,if scotland do another referendum it will have the same results as before

Got to say if North of England voted conservative then they deserve the next 5 years

They rejected massive injection of resources in public sector and redefining northern investment

And all for Brexit that will make their situation worse as the Tories continue to widen the divide between North & South and support an unfair society

Laura is very very happy on bbc
UK RIP. Britian is finished. Dark days ahead across the pond. Horrible repulsive lying sleeveen yoke like Johnston Prime Minister. In years to come this will be seen as a dark day in British history. If there is a political hell , surely Tories will be rot there. But for now we watch a country inflicting incredible self harm on it self.

The only thing is there will be world wide recession sometime in the early 2020s , possibly late 2020 or 2021. Brexit will be a disaster. As the country goes into recession after world wide recession occurs and Brexits impacts, and if there a recession similar to 2008 or even worse , well then Johnston and the rest of the b#$$##ds will be despised and hated. Even his cute little dog he carried into polling today and the Daily Mail , The Sun , Telegraph and BBC and Laura and all the other Tory loving gob****es wouldnt be able to save him then . And within a couple of years ; the whole of the Uk will hate Johnston and Tories. 15 years in power , no Tory government has won 5 elections in a row. Labour will have a leader who doesnt have the baggage Corbyn has.
And Brexit is a poison chalice , Europe destroyed Cameron , May and it will destroy Johnston. But still 5 more years of Tories is awful future for ordinary British people. The media with its Tory proganda and bias , have allot to answer for. The damage the Tories will do ordinary lifes will be savage. Repbulicans in the US are pretty appalling , but the Tories are different level altoghter. There is a viciousness and nastiness to those shower of aristoctatics wierdos that no mainstream part in Western Europe has.

Very interesting to see what direction the Labour Party will go in after Corbyn.

Sure they will move more central.

Brexit has played a big part, but Corbyn and McDonnell's form of socialism was emphatically rejected by the UK.

Neil grilling McDonnell now.

Tories played a blinder. Biggest majority since Maggie, worst result for Labour since the 1930s.
John bull has proven that turkeys do vote for Christmas, free reign for the Tories to do what they want, privatise all, sell off whatever silverware is left in the press to their mates now.

Well done lads.

Mr.Nice Guy

For those disappointed by the predicted results, if they're proven true the DUP have become an utter irrelevance and seen their strategy of the last few years backfire spectacularly. So there's that.

You would have to say also that England in December 2019 seems to be a very right wing country (for whatever reason).

FrancieBrady

If the majority is this big then you have to say, hell rub it up the UK. People had a choice here and they emphatically said they wish to leave. So be it.

If Exit Poll is correct, Labour's Dennis Skinner has almost definitely lost his seat.

Chuka Umuna has lost his seat - based on the Exit Poll - with Labour winning it.

PropJoe10

Even Dennis Skinner, the "Beast of Bolsover", looks like losing his seat. Its all over for Labour.
