Cant sleep. Utterly devastated. The torys are going to take the gloves off now - expect big cuts to tax credits, child benefit, housing benefit and a massive slashing of local authority services. We keep the bedroom tax. The DWP will carry on sanctioning people en mass and the welfare system will be progressively replaced by charity sticking plaster stuff like food banks. fuck fuck fucking fuck. Not optimistic that my job will last till the end of the year.

Hope my mother as someone who votes Tory because her mum does so feels fucking stupid when this happens as she benefits from all of these. Turkey voting for Christmas.

In my job, my workmates are mostly EU non brits. Now the threat of an axe over the heads.

No improvement for generation rent. Me and most Londoners now.

Brutal cuts for the people that need help most. Tax 'help' for people that can otherwise afford to make things better for everyone.

Human rights slanted into a bin of "it helps terrorists/foreigners/whatever".

A living wage decried with "flexible" zero hours employment, where everyone is employed, but a vast number have no idea what / how they will be actually paid.

About the only cheer I'm taking from the night...
 
Wait a minute, Boris Johnson is an MP for Uxbridge and Ruislip South, yet he is still Mayor of London? How is that even possible?
Does this mean we face the possibility of him as PM?
And though it was pleasing to see Galloway lose, he's gonna come back to London to annoy us, isn't he? Running for mayor.

Wonder if they will do a Blair/Brown swap in three or four years' time. Something to look forward to.
