    Labour GAIN Stockton South.

    May is gone.

    At the start of the campaign it was all the talk of no Labour seat under 10k majority was safe, now it seems no Tory seat under 10k is safe !!!

    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

    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.
