    Yep, Labour supporters should even listen to Dan Hodges, as Owen's really just a cheerleader.

    I took it they have less coverage.

    Yes, I think it might well be somewhat out, especially since there are so many close contests, with four parties in play.

    Could mean that the Tory majority is understated, of course!

    Expect a smaller swing. Maj now 15%. Might go up to 23%. If swing more than 5% could be dodgy for LAB in South

    Hands up - I wobbled. I'm bang to rights. I thought there would be a Tory majority (up until 30 mins before the exit poll), but nothing like what it looks like.

    2017 was an outlier. An aberration. But it made us all nervous.

    Starmer would have most likely lost, but he would not have been humiliated. This is much much more than Brexit. Corbyn was front and centre of the election campaign and the British people said no.

    Incorrect. Tories are over performing in more rural seats doing less better in city seats (but still well).

    I never thought I would see the day that Blyth Valley voted for a Tory

    Blyth Valley has an unusually old population. High boomer count. 36.5% boomers

    Houghton and Sunderland South 35.9% boomer.

    National average is 31.7%

    Newcastle Central is 22.1% boomer.

    I think this is why we are seeing differential swings between these seats.


    Quite so. We'll see Labour hold up much better in student/metropolitan seats, but they'll take a hammering outside them.

    I think that is right.

    The remarkable result was in 2017, when Corby convinced both Labour Leavers & Remainers he was on their side.

    Labour should have voted for May's deal. Then, the next election really would have been dominated by the issues on which Corbyn was strong.

    When this is all done it'll be fascinating to see how closely the electoral map in England and Wales resembles that of Leave vs Remain - particularly if we look at swing. There may be a lot of Tory holds on *reduced* majorities in Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, the Thames Valley and parts of Hertfordshire.

    Motherwell count: “lots of SNP smiles”

    Counting 4 seats here: 3 SNP and 1 SLab (Coatbridge).

    SLab saying that they have increased their majority in Coatbridge!!

    Both SLab and SNP saying Exit Poll is WRONG.

    Was told earlier The Beast of Bolsover was ahead but if Exit Poll correct that was clearly wrong.

    PB Tories enjoy the next few hours

    Have a good nights rest BJO -

    It must be hard for you and I hope we can start healing wounds especially if labour can rid themselves of Corbyn
    It took 14 years to recover from this last time around.
    Who will get rid of the poison of the hard left?

    I really want to believe you can do it - but they hold the power now
    The unions hold the power.

    Labour electing Thornberry or Starmer as leader would be about as barmy as them electing Corbyn, in the face of this.

    I shouldn’t be smug. But I can’t help but be so when I think of how poorly the puffed up remainer rebel alliance played their card in he past 6-12 months.

    Grieve, Boles, Soubry, Chukka, Bercow - all thought they were so clever and could scheme to ignore the will of the people.

    Well, the people just gave their verdict on that behaviour. It turns out they rather like to have their votes respected.

    Don’t mess with the British voters when they give you an instruction.

    Boris would do well to heed that message from his new voters. He must not let them down.

    If Labour want these seats back, they need to unanimously come out in support of Brexit tomorrow morning.

    Renfrewshire Council said a possible case of personation had been reported to police in the Paisley and Renfrewshire North constituency.

    At the Glasgow count, three cases are also being looked at while one is alleged in Stirling.

    I can't think Jess Phillips is going to be a pro-Brexit party? What on Earth can Labour do?
