Absolutely the only single GE 2017 results thread.

What's she saying about Corbyn? I saw some things she said about John Hemming (all deserved btw, he's a dick, in case you're not already aware), I also hope she can sort herself out wrt corbyn, I quite liked Jess up to when she joined the no confidence group, which I didn't expect tbh.

She has said she may now only do the Birmingham part of her job and not the Westminster part. When tackled and asked to unite behind what has proven to be a wildly popular manifesto and a leader with an exceptional mandate, she's been throwing out the usual guff about "grow up love" and "I know what my voters here wanted" and so on.

If she's not going to unite behind him, I wish she'd do the next decent thing and cross the aisle.

The BBC "BREAKING NEWS" ticker is stretching the definition somewhat

Re Jess, I do think it's a massive shame because she has the potential to be a fucking excellent asset to Corbyn and a left-wing platform. She could have been Angela Rayner on steroids, but she chose a different path.

 

[existentialist]

I just want a spreadsheet with 650 rows, and columns for no. of registered voters and each votes for each party. Is that too much to ask?

Where are newspapers pulling their datasets from? Or are they originating them themselves?

Would some judicious web-scraping do the job?

ah yes, I do remember seeing that tweet but nothing of the wider context/discussion around it. I agree totally and tbh I thought she was proper left / social democrat but that impression has shown to be wrong.

She's a self-regarding careerist. Don't think it has much to do with ideology.

 

[ddraig]

Our tory mp still in, too many chavs didnt vote, but i didnt cos it's pre-planned

wtf??? chavs?? seriously
and how is pre planned? who would pre plan this mess?

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I haven't a clue what Jess Phillips' politics are tbh, apart from some bollocks about 'straight-talking' and 'waaaah Corbyn bad'. I know she's big on women's refuges so credit to her for that, but what her actual position is on anything else god knows.

 

[scifisam]

Blimey, my MP now has a 35000 majority!

'didn't deserve to lose their seats'? well the electorate thought otherwise.

'didn't deserve to lose their seats'? well the electorate thought otherwise.

Bizarre isnt it?

I remember a couple of years ago when Vince Cable was kicked out there was a series of letters to the local paper about how badly we'd all treated him after many years of service. The mindset of these people.

hopefully there'll be one or two more tories who lose their seats, e.g. yer man charged for the spending, tm for her comments on diane abbott...

 

[not-bono-ever]

Its a terrible thing when someone who has unselfishly given a lifetime of noble service for only 3x the average national wage + expenses + employing their family members , is suddenly cast aside due to the *whims* of the electorate. We should have special seats for thses people to move into. I have been working on one lately

"All rigged" by "the pupeteers(sic)" apparently

Labour will win.
Banks won't pay them anywhere near enough to carry out their excellent manifesto.
The media will brainwash the public into thinking they're full of shit.
By Xmas Boris will be in number 10, I can see Trump and Boris forming a partnership.
The world is leaning to the right, its gathering exponential speed. Military industrial complex, corporate scourge, alot of pain ahead. I never voted cos I know its all rigged, even if Lab will cos of comments above. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'll admit it in time. IF I'm wrong.

maps getting bluer maybe the pupeteers are sticking with the 'unpopular leaders' like cameron and osborne, now may, evil.

What, the ones who took the reprimand to heart.

 

[NoXion]

How the hell can May go to the EU after what's happened and think she can be taken seriously?

There are already special seats for them so yours is superfluous to needs.

Humanising Tories on the telly seems to be her main policy

I don't think pete understands how elections work as they also expressed surprise that May held her seat.

 

[Teaboy]

She seems utterly incapable of making the right decision on anything. I guess we're left relying on the old broken clock metaphor.

she can take the difficult decisions but she fucks them all up

There are now competing change.org petitions against the Tory/DUP coalition

The same way she was planning to before, I suppose.

 

[Voley]

Nice of her to say sorry to her own MP's for losing them their seats though eh? No apology to the electorate for weakening the country's position in Brexit negotiations, mind. Pity about that. Still. The elections stated aim was only to do the exact opposite so you can't expect too much.

 

[Teaboy]

I've just seen that interview. The entitlement just screams through it all, they were entitled to those seats, she was entitled to a large majority. The arrogance is breathtaking.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I've missed most of the post-election coverage - has anyone asked outright asked her "do you feel responsible" yet?
