The 2019 General Election

[8115]

Tories cleaning up in the north/midlands, Labour making a few gains in the south. It's mainly brexit-driven imo.

I think the vast majority of people are barely engaged in politics tbh, unlike most of us on this thread. Many don't seem to care about the detail. "Get brexit done" was a simple proposition and that was clearly enough for many people to vote on. The labour manifesto barely seemed to matter. People like many of the policies, but basically people want brexit above all else. The tories and the establishment have done a proper job on it to be fair: focus on brexit, denigrate Corbyn, job done. Fuck it's depressing.

Like-not-like.

Are we going to have to sit through 600-odd of these posts?

I'm finding it quite helpful as I'm trying to post on here, knit and watch the tv and I'm missing quite a bit.

I was thinking about watching Emmerdale and keeping my eye on PR1Berske . Not as productive I grant you, but I can't knit for shit.

Shrek Javid looking very smug.

Ynys Mon has just elected a fly in from Kensington who has consistently slagged off the Welsh language. Of course, the combined Labour and Plaid vote would have seen her off.

This is so shit.

I think we've won the moral victory though.

Nige has gone for the dup

Trying desperately to pluck some, erm, positives...

Tonight's result is where we thought 2017 would turn up, no? If not on the night (when the support rallied, and TM fucked it dodging interviews and the elderly care decision...), bit certainly just after TM announced the election, Labour looked on their knees.

 

[PR1Berske]

Conservatives hold Cities of London and Westminster

 

[Ted Striker]

Chuka cant.

 

[PR1Berske]

Labour hold Doncaster North - Ed Miliband returned.

 

[PR1Berske]

Labour hold Birkenhead - Frank Field fails to "gain" seat as an independent.

So the forecast majority has been revised from eighty-something to sixty-something.

 

[PR1Berske]

Labour hold Neath.

I suspect that must be Scotland, where the exit poll didn't really cover.
