    If the 55 SNP seats is correct, has Jo Swinson lost her seat?

    *crosses fingers* for the good news later :D

    The Marxist laughably claiming to be centre left and the defeat being solely down to Brexit and nothing to do with their financial illiteracy.

    As I saw someone else write, Labour can now sack Corbyn and get an electable leader having lost the election and having to wait another 5 years for another chance.

    Corbyn's strategy has been bizarre, surely better to have helped the Tories 'get Brexit done' then capitalise on any fallout 3 years down the line if it does all go t!ts up.

    This seems appropriate on a number of levels:

    So he's going to have to actually own a decision now. And face a proper opposition leader.

    If he wins his own seat.

    So Corbyn's Brexit fence-sitting didn't work out so well... not at all surprised. He tried to please both sides, and ended up pleasing neither.

    Still, looking on the bright side, he's made Michael Foot look charismatic and less of a disaster, in comparison.

    Past the 1.20 mark.

    Although someone on here will find a negative angle to it.

    Exactly, it was as close as it gets to a single issue election and he decided it was best to have no firm position on that issue. Totally bizarre.

    I'm now hoping for Surrey Commuter's option 2 and that the majority is big enough that the ERG types can be pushed back to the margins and a softer Brexit be negotiated. Problem is that I suspect the results will have brought in more right wingers

    More Icelandic Kroner for me in January. Might be able to buy a beer in Reykjavik now.

    The Lib Dems position on Brexit didn't seem to be a resounding success either. Forecast 13 seats and electoral irrelevance continued.

    The most pleasing part of the exit poll is seeing Brexit Party 0 seats. We'll have to endure Mr Toad for a few days going on about how he helped ensures Tory win so that Brexit could be done and how he'll be keeping an eye on them to ensure they do it and then hopefully he'll disappear once and for all.

    Incompetence there too.

    The most positive thing I've posted here about Corbyn is that he's not Johnson, but (if you cared to look), I'm not at all surprised at Labour's failure: a message which alienated too many of the middle ground, combined with a dishonesty about his Brexit leanings, and trying to play both sides, under the pretence of being an 'honest broker'.

    Some of the seats they are forecasting to go to Tory are astonishing. London looks to have moved away from them - in current predictions Kensington staying Labour, Richmond going ld, Putney Labour, Wimbledon too close to call, Westminster maybe Labour

    Yes, indeed.

    A small consolation for someone who dislikes both Johnson and Corbyn: East Devon is "96%" predicated to overturn 150 years of Tory MPs to elect an independent.

    Perhaps I ought to buy a load too, before the markets realise that Johnson still hasn't actually got a plan for a reality-based Brexit...

    Lets see. These things have a way of working themselves out when the chips are down. And the deadlock has been broken, which many said could not be done...

    First result in where Brexit plus Tories would have beaten labour. Sunderland south. Weird election.

    Tories take the former mining town constituency of Blyth Valley in the North East. Blimey.
