Farage says the Tories made an error to pick a Remainer to lead the Brexit process and says if Corbyn is PM could even threaten Brexit, he then says he would have absolutely no choice to return as UKIP leader if it is soft Brexit or even a reversal of Brexit
I feel very Sean T like in mood right now. I've never been so rocked to my core as tonight, and I don't much like it, I am placid and that's the way I prefer it.
There were very, very few UKIP votes in Westmorland and Lonsdale to break toward Conservatives. If Farron really loses, it'll be an unusually bad result.
My Lib Dem friend in Sheffield Hallam says Clegg's a gonner.
Odd UKIP to Lab swing!
Our campaign completely failed to drag Labour into the same Hard Brexit box as us. Labour became an easy choice for remain voters and even soft Brexit UKIP/Tory Leavers voters.
The campaign was just horrible.
This is all the fault of Brexiters. It was totally avoidable.
Still, at least you're away from it all, eh?
Not really, it was May and her team who ran this shit campaign and who came out with these shit policies, but also who backed hard Brexit to win UKIP votes while others said go for centrist Brexit to win votes in the centre. She and her team take the blame for this failure.
LOL. What a poor attempt to absolve yourself.
You are insulated from this, and you've already pissed off. Some of us are not as lucky.
One thing we've learnt from all this is that some 'Conservative's are not 'conservative'.
"All the fault of the brexiters" is contemptible blame-shifting. The referendum was Remain's to lose, and Remain lost it. I was a lukewarm remainer, because the merits of the case were not as clear to me than as now, but a remainer. I didn't campaign or subscribe to a campaign, and I regret that. But the more self righteous and blowhardish you get against Leave, the more you invite the question why you did nothing to secure a remain vote, but sat and waited for it to fall into your lap.
@SamCoatesTimes: George Osborne: "Is there a majority in the Commons for leaving the single market? I don't think so." Wow
Sensible gent.
Well Labour, SNP, and the Lib Dems want it and Tories sure as hell won't be able to get their way. Trouble is it doesn't deal with the immigration issue. 52% did not vote for free movement.
We're losing because of hard Brexit in London and house confiscation in middle England. Theresa May is the worst Tory leader I've ever seen, worse even than IDS.
Farage says Corbyn boxed off Brexit for UKIP voters by saying UK would leave and they would control free movement but of course the EU will not agree a deal on that, so he would have to concede or we end up with socialism and hard Brexit under a Corbyn government

(And forgive me, I am more than half drunk).
Apparently.
I'm actually starting to enjoy this now.
All the old Labour dinosaurs back. Feels just like the Brown/Blair years back from the dead.
Labour hold
Excellent for democracy. Brexit made the youngsters realise that politics matters.
It made the abstract, real.
Try to comment on politics with a bit of magnanimity and, if you can't manage that, at least don't make it personal.
Chapeau.
EXACTLY.
Also now that Farage is on TV your hopes of a Hard Brexit are OVER.
Conservative hold
Con +10.8
Lab +3.8
Con could make some gains in Midlands, somewhere
Conservative hold
We are the voices of lower taxation.
We are the voices of social liberalism.
Hope the expensive wine is still tasting good

Goodbye.
The winner being the party with the best bribes.
