FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH DESPAIR NOW HOPE IS MY BEST FRIEND

Too soon

There's definitely something to the potential of Labour to pick up UKIP voters; my dad voted UKIP last time, but this time he went Labour despite never voting them before, so I've definitely seen my own proof of Labour potentially picking up a lot of people who went UKIP for the (supposed) protest vote/anti-establishment aspects.

You're a big guy.
To call an election during Brexit negotiations is irresponsible. To call a second is petulant and disgusting. Brexit should always have been conducted cross party because of the closeness of the result. If the outcome is a hung/narrow majority then they should conduct it that way. Respect the will of the people lol

No way! Small world!

I've heard literally nothing from either other candidate, and had Matheson leaflets actually talking about local stuff.

I was very impressed by people in his campaign office but also how lovely people were on the doorstep. Even people who admitted they weren't voting for Labour were perfectly friendly towards us. One guy went off about nuclear weapons but otherwise a really good day. Really hope Chris is returned, everyone working for it today deserves the good news!

I wasn't going to drink tonight but if they both go, I'm opening the 18 year old malt I was saving for my mum and dads 50th wedding anniversary. News is getting better by the minute.

I believed in Arsenal beating Chelsea against the odds and that happened. I believe this could be even worse for the Tories than the exit poll suggests.

Time to break out the M&Ms.

The Sun, the Daily Mail et all helped Labour

The more they absolutely screamed he was evil, the less people listened. It's that simple.
 
If this holds up someone needs to do a Theresa May Persona 5 meme video...

Justine Greening is education secretary. Amber Rudd is Home Secretary. Battersea is also held by a minister. If you're Theresa May and you're watching cabinet colleagues get defeated for your gamble... sheesh.

I don't know enough about UK politics (American here!), but based on what I heard on what I heard on NPR, this is looking good, right? Like, very good? Exact opposite of the Trump election good?

Boris will surely lose them more seats, right?

Go for it mate.

He gets away with so much disgusting shit because people think he is funny and a bit of a lad.

I am really not sure how him as leader would go. He could be seriously dangerous.
