Bloody right.

Time_to_Leave

Picking up on some comments on the last thread, remember that if it is right, the Tories would still expect to lose a small amount of 90% chances in the exit poll. They will also expect to gain a small number of 10% chances.

Looks like the point where the swing is 0 is around the seats that voted Remain by 55-56%, unlike seats that voted Leave by 62% in 2017.

Ed started Labour down this path. He was clearly not ready to lead, but let his ego get the better of him. He made it ok within the party to trash the record of the previous government. He managed to lose the 2015 election and his greatest achievement the £3 membership paved the way to entryism.

More seriously, it’s because the Tories have done well in the small Northeastern seats that declare early and are normally solidly Labour.

'Would be apt given his reforms allowed Corbyn to become Labour leader' - I'd be interested in the argument for this. All sections (not just the registered supporters) voted Corbyn, and Miliband's reforms were pushed by the Right of the party to weaken the union vote. It was a David Miliband 'Movement for Change' style approach.

Labour win Gower with 32.9% - is that the lowest win %age tonight?

The problem for Labour is that it's base is split on social issues.

No party has a god given rights to seats. You've gotta fight for votes.

Did you notice that Labour's share is down in Remain seats. Your thesis that this is Brexit is plain wrong.

The Tory vote is up a very modest amount. This is all about the collapse of the Labour vote which is worst in the NE, then the NW and much less in the south, especially London. What about the midlands? Not many results yet.
