Not a swing to labour. But this has limited relevance, tbh. Two safe Labour seats held safely.
Absolutely the only single GE 2017 results thread.

What would Badgers do?
Yep, Tories seem to be picking up most of the ukip votes which is to be expected given the Brexit result. It'll get interesting further south.

True, but for measure, all polls were predicting a swing *towards* Conservative in these areas.
Edit: wrote that before is seen Sunderland. Any particular reason Sunderland is so different to Newcastle?

Hmm...I think for the referendum they gave a good indicator of what was happening.

In safe Labour seats Corbyn-haters might decide to stick it to him knowing it's unlikely to damage Labour. In marginal seats they might hold their noses and vote Labour. (Don't think the same holds for May). So I'm not sure results in safe seats like Newcastle and Sunderland mean much.

If they had got their position right they would have done better than average

Proper break this time
Tories have a higher percentage of the vote.

Who cares - the Tories will probably win...But right here, right now, we've had 'this hour'. The impending whitewash has been averted. Whatever happens, May has fucked it.
But saddle up, it's going to be a long night...

(Fancy an exit poll on number of pages this thread will end up at? I'm going with 110 by midnight tomorrow...)

It's almost like 1992, the very first results show how it will go
I so want to be wrong.
"Oh noes the swing to Labour after just two declared results wasn't as big as predicted, let's all have a nervous breakdown"
Look, even if the exit poll is as wrong as it was in 92, that leaves us exactly where we started before the election. Y'all need to chill... People were talking about a 200 seat majority less than 4 weeks ago, now look where we are.

I fucking hate that Kuenssburg woman. Always thought she was after Nick Robinson's job, perhaps she had a wax image of him in her boudoir and ritually pierced it with false nails.

Fuck that. Anything short of a hung parliament is now officially shit.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Going to bed.
Everyone one knows Torys lie in exit polls like people who claim never to have pissed in the sink.
Correct for people who can't even admit what they've done and May's got her working majority.
Still at least people are sticking to the one thread.

If there's any reason why I'm glad I voted Labour it's to fuck off twats like Straw
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Fuck off Straw, the party hasn't got behind Corbyn at all, you disingenuous shite.
