Tory vote holds up well enough in Newcastle, so no encouragement there for Labour, I would suggest
Wouldn't be too bad
Most worrying thing is that Corbyn canvassed the North East just a few days ago and had a great reception. It doesn't bode well if he's still lost seats there.
Please tell me something good might happen, please!
why? Safe seat voting is often petulant, as the votes have little value unless used tactically.
Bless himJeez a lad on my Facebook is going crazy with joy because labour have won Newcastle and Sunderland
Yup, scraped majority and May mortally wounded with Corb's position secured and Brexit coming up.
Could Labour, SNP and LD co exist?
Yeah I agree with that. Even if that's the case, it's been a disaster for May. It's not going to be 50+ seats out so it's a disaster avoided for Labour.
No hard evidence whatsoever I'm afraid. It's based more anecdotally which obviously Ill admit I can't rely on! But in the midlands especially where I used to live I saw a lot of support for independence, and people who would be keen to vote UKIP off the back of that who would never vote Tory.
The UK will be a pretty amazing country if it manages to vote Tory, Tory, Brexit, Tory without turning into a relative hellhole.
Theresa May "reeling" at the exit poll, according to Sky News. Wahey!
No, im serious, tell me theres a chance we can get those old cnuts out of office
No evidence he is losing seats there. In fact, the votes for Labour have increased, it's just Tories gained a few more from homeless UKIP voters. Nothing to worry about yet.
Wouldn't be enough to make a majority of 326 seats + (if exit polls correct)
Sounds like she's going to be on the winning side then.

A couple of months ago, Jeremy Corbyn probably would have been too.
That would be a massive change to her normally confident and assuring demeanour.
Tories down to 1.52 for a majority after the first results
She just gave Corbyn a ton of credibility and legitimacy
Don't believe odds, the BRexit referendum night still have remain odds-on after like half-way.
Jack Straw having to eat humble pie on behalf of the Blairite contingent.
bugger....stupid fecking ....sigh
He hasn't yet has he?
Sorry I meant vote share not seats.
I wonder what her actual reaction was. Maybe a "gosh!" followed by facial contorting that would see her sweep to victory in a gurning championship (at least she'd win something).
Serves conservatives right for playing a shit game of Game of Thrones. Teresa May fecked up, Conservatives gamble and lose.
Might be awful...
If Tories have a tiny majority, they won't risk doing this again. They will spend all 5 years in government.
And could feck us all with the Brexit negotiations.
Exactly.
Wherever Theresa May is right now, I'm pretty sure she doesn't feel like a winner.
Go away Straw
See above.
This might have been asked already: If the Conservatives were the biggest party, would our democratic process allow for Labour to still attempt to form a coalition government (with SNP Lib Dems etc)? and exclude the biggest party?
Why are they making that old man stand up above them like some stats overlord? Give him a chair ffs!
The professor on the bbc looks like mason verger
He is the overlord!
