So much for all the shiite on Twitter all day about young people coming out in their droves for Corbyn. Fake news!

This is becoming a theme, the young are full of bluster they are not full of voting (until they can do it by thumb and phone and even then most of them would still "forget" to take part)

This was a Brexit election. Depressing stuff I feel sorry for the many decent British people, but they have been let down by the narrow minded brexiteers.

That would be foolish given that we're going to get the splatter from Britains shooting of itself in the head.

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

It's been signed off by the UK govt and 27 nations. We have already begun ramping up prep for the trade negotiations

She had no empathy for the 17 million who voted to leave. Ridiculous.

She did not even want a referendum. She was just going to reverse it.

Insane and out of her depth clearly as a leader.

The greatest democracy in the world!

Disgraceful tweet by Paul Mason. Tarring millions of well-intentioned voters in the most disgusting manner.

It's attitudes like that which promote Brexit.

Come on, that would be funny

Well Tom Bradby made that suggestion when people were reading the exit poll earlier.

Boris Johnson's brother is now on ITV with Ruth Davison & Alan Johnson who is former Home Secretary.

Really surprised that they expect Brexit Party to get 0, would have thought leavers would be split to some degree between them and Tories.

Thats FPTP for you, its an absolutely broken system

The British Labour Party should hang it’s head in shame for letting down and leaving those who wanted to remain in the eu with no hope in offering Corbyn as a prime minister.crash out brexit for this time next yr.britain deserves everything that’s coming .nausating to see tories on again spouting that they are going to renegotiate with the eu again and get a better deal

This election shows that a huge amount of the electorate in Britain support Brexit.

With that majority I don't think so. He'll swagger back to EU and turn the screw now. The deal he got is not great, he'll go get better now.

What screw will he turn?

He has his WA. Off they pop. Shining light is the SNP performance.

The WA is 'his' deal though.

Nope, he inherited that. He has a majority and a clean slate to do whatever he wants. Will be interesting to see what the EU does. They don't have the security blanket of parliament to stop a no deal exit.

Bercow: we will be talking about Brexit for the next 5 years, possibly 10 years.

:eek:

Only in the past tense. They're gone by end of January. And I suspect Brussels will actually breathe a sigh of relief. Parliaments rejection of the last deal was something of a final straw imo.

We've priced that in. You can count on it.

There's a wrong assumption we will be the same or worse off than he UK.

It's incorrect

Scotland and Northern Ireland won't be apart of the UK much longer if this exit poll is anything to go by.

Yeah, but how were the voters chosen. Did they poll everyone from those polling stations?

Every 10th person walking out fills in another anonymous ballot paper and pops it in the exit poll box which is then taken off to be counted at some secret location.

When Brexit is proved not to be the biblical catastrophe that many claim it will be, I think you'll find they'll be happy to Remain within the Union.

Project Fear is a terrible, terrible thing; anathema to the unbridled truth.

When the Brexit ref TV coverage starter before any results were in, Chuka was holding a glass of bubbly, in City Hall I think, smugly explaining why he though remain won the ref lol.

Chuka chucked <chuckles>.

Mr.Nice Guy

Spare a thought for Ruth Davidson who said she'd swim naked in Loch Ness if the SNP won more than fifty seats.

Not necessarily as this is first past the post.

Latest polls on independence in Scotland still has remaining in the UK ahead of leaving.

You'll be sorely mistaken . People are actively leaving the UK. The NHS will be vacated off staff leaving to better more affluent countries. It's already started and will now increase at pace.

We're back to the argument of people seing a man threatening to shoot himself in the head and expecting other people to be convinced to accede to his demands because they'll get some brains splattered on their shoes.

No deal is a nuisance to Europe. It's apocalyptic for the UK.

Very little has changed in terms of what options are available to Johnson. The main change is that now he can maybe get the deal he's been handed by the EU through parliament and bring the beginning of Brexit to a close.
