BREAKING: Swinson appears to have lost

Declaration imminent

I feel a bit bad now for suggesting Gethins losing might be a fair swap for Swinson oot.

At least he'll be back.

I am really confused what both parties were doing in the last week of the campaign.

I wonder if the Tories knew this was the situation or they were very concerned.

Neither of us ever thought it would be like this did we - no more fears and doubts

Well can't say I'm particularly surprised.
Does rather seem like the 2nd referendum strategy was crap.

Voting for Brexit doesn't seem to have helped Caroline Flint or Melanie Onn.

True, but I think that's driven by the national picture of Labour are the party of ref 2.

I think it was the foolishness of the "revoke" policy. If the LDs had gone on "Bollocks to Brexit but it must be via a referendum on Deal vs Revoke" then they would have kept soft Tories on side.

The whole bollocks to Brexit slogan undermined their attempt to be the adult in the room.
