What Conservative party ever expressly threatens to take your bought and paid for house if you get old and sick.......even I spotted that one. .....FFS
I'm not prepared. How did Theresa stuff this up so badly? She could have just made and promoted some positive policies, turned up to some more debates, not run an absurd presidential-style campaign, not banged on about foxhunting and social care. The opportunity was there to smash the Labour Party for a generation and she squandered it.
Well we can now all agree that the dreadful Theresa May is gone. And, with her, hopefully, Hard Brexit.
As a Remainer myself, then what was the point of Brexit? We may as well have stayed in the EU where we were out of the Euro anyway. Staying in the single market with free movement unchecked and big payments to the EU (as the EU will demand for soft Brexit) is basically no real change from where we were in the EU anyway. The only result will be to see UKIP make a quicker recovery than Lazarus. Soft Brexit it may be and I have no problem myself with that but I think some of those UKIP voters who clearly went to Labour tonight thinking Brexit was settled with tough new migration controls and they could vote against austerity may now start to move back to UKIP. UKIP voters who have moved to the Tories may also swiftly move back, the Tories may regain some centrist voters in the South though
If Tories had promised the £350M for the NHS they would have won a landslide. It was so fucking easy, it had to be done. Instead we got May grimacing on the One Show, like the most awkward person you've ever met in your life promising a cap on energy bills.
My CCHQ sources says looks like the young voters did turn out, as well their middle class parents, and frightened grannies stayed at home.
That is what really struck me from that age break down poll showed earlier today, the Tories were losing in the middle age bracket. It is one thing being smashed in the youngster bracket, but at the start of the GE campaign May was a country mile ahead in the other two age brackets.
I think it was you that pointed that out earlier. If we had listened to you, we could all have won a lot of money.
The double whammy of not wanting to lose their inheritance on the one hand and prospect of having the kids' tuition fees waived on the other

It was...but I also thought Tories must be ok (despite YouGov) because there were no signs of panic / change of focus in the campaign.
I am sure we will find out why in due course, either Textor / Messina polling was horrendous or May wouldn't listen.
I think the Scottish Conservatives are going to do exceptionally well. Look at the huge rises in vote share in constituencies where they have no interest.

I bet you can show me loads of posts in your diarrhetic output that shows that?
Hang on, you post every possible view nightly.
Eh? I fully admit I am absurdly bipolar but I've been clear from the start that I wanted Soft Brexit, and abhorred Hard Brexit, and I entirely lost confidence in Theresa May when she announced her Manifesto, as I said on here (and PB-ers will attest)
Tbf there were a few 'Cry God for Harry, England, and Saint George, & we'll ram our diamond hard Brexit up your garlicky arses' moments.

The problem is you track record is of supporting every possible outcome simultaneously. You are a Schrodinger's Car poster.
If you want your political comments to be taken seriously you should take this to heart.
In fact, the same applies to your so-called sad sex-life, you lonely, hopeless soul.

It's almost like she wanted to lose, couldn't have done anything more to get to this position.
George Osborne - Ipswich Milton Keynes reading northampton looking very bad. Globalised connected towns
That's all because of this dementia tax, WFA stuff, not Brexit (Northampton strongly voted for Brexit for example)
Its the NHS and public services. The NHS won it for Brexit, it looks like it will win it for Labour this time.
Yes, this was a vote against further cuts for public services primarily, people felt Brexit was done and dusted, May would win and immigration could fall so they could vote against yet more austerity and shift from UKIP to Labour, not simply the Tories as most of us thought (including I admit myself). Now with the nature of Brexit up in the air again and perhaps no new immigration controls at all UKIP is back on again as a political force and Farage must surely return to the leadership if it is soft Brexit
