General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time

[bonusroller]

If there is another election, with Johnson leading the Tories, then Corbyn will ride the wave of this result and get a majority I reckon.

 

[Nytram Shakes]

ITV's coverage is vastly superior to BBC's. Very bad night for the BBC.

why is it? im on bbc at the moment, whats better about itv?

 

[Cheesy]

Edinburgh South West is one to watch, exit poll says Tories but could be Labour if this stays up.

Edinburgh in general is intriguing, all four parties have areas they could quite easily take.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Lab Majority.

Whisper it.

 

[Untied]

London apparently (and unsurprisingly) going almost all red.

 

[cyberman]

Moral of the story... Always back the severe underdog before elections and lay it off on the night. Monday morning fecking quarterback

If this keeps up, The Sun will be my tugging material tomorrow. Oh the Murdoch tears!

A young Murdoch on the front page of The Sun tomorrow:

What happened to the hidden conservative support? Let me not be too cheeky till the final results come in though

You can afford to be cheeky from where you are, you don't have to live with the aftermath . Binge spend on crap, and then the successor enacts a tonne of cuts. No smooth existence ahead here. That's before the foreign policy.

This could be Britain's Donald Trump moment.

 

[Paxi]

Corbyn favourite to become Prime Minister, this is insane! The bubble will burst soon though I'm sure

Corbyn is now favourite to be next PM

That just means a lot of betting on him has been placed. Bookies shorten their odds to not be out on their ass if it does happen.

 

[Silva]

London apparently (and unsurprisingly) going almost all red.

That's what C4 was reporting, Tories worried about all their London seats.

 

[rcoobc]

I'm sure I just read Tory hold Carlisle.

Which is bad, as YouGov had Labour

 

[muller]

you can't say brown, definitely not - it's horrendous

Everyone's different in all fairness.

Some wouldn't bat an eye, some did it awful. I know someone who hates being called white. I don't believe there's any malice behind it in the most, or at least it's obvious when there is.

 

[Nytram Shakes]

Must be absolutely brutal to lose a seat you've held for years. Turning up to the results and hearing you're out of a job immediately.

happens all the time at my work lol

So true given Ref, Trump and this

That was Brexit

 

[Chorley1974]

Glad I'm emigrating on this news Everyone else please turn the lights off on your way out.

 

[Dumbstar]

Yay, what a swing in Tooting. Ma brethren.

 

[Sigma]

That should have been what Star Wars 8 was called.

Yougov still on average doing strong though

 

[Reiver]

The thing is.

For 50 years, everyone had said "Lib Dems have no experience". "Lib Dem is a wasted vote". "A vote for Lib Dem is a vote for Labour"

Well all three of those are no longer true

Lib Dems are their own party with their own policies.

If you want a "small governmet", liberal party on the left, then they are for you

Don't necessarily disagree with any of what you said. Obviously they are what some people want. But, if they were dead set on coalition, they should have insisted on voting reform, no more FPTP.

 

[Oscie]

why is it? im on bbc at the moment, whats better about itv?

Fresher, dynamic. Better audio, better pundits. Osborne is very good and fairly neutral. BBC's just seem old and drab with old-man Dimbleby moaning about microphones and flies.

 

[Rightnr]

That Tooting declaration was delicious. All the candidates clapping each other except the Tory guy. I hope to see similar in Parliament with a progressive coalition.

I apologise for that then. I've been lead astray by my Egyptian mate (although he moved here when he was about 6 and has adopted a western name). He's probably the least PC person you'll ever meet and is probably happily using it as an offensive term about himself.

No, not in this case. They follow Betfair Exchange generally. The liquidity for this is absolutely huge, so it isn't a case of people staking money as such. It's syndicates, Investment groups etc reacting to polls + results and factoring those in.

 

[muller]

That was Brexit

Agreed.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Fresher, dynamic. Better audio, better pundits. Osborne is very good and fairly neutral. BBC's just seem old and drab with old-man Dimbleby moaning about microphones and flies.

Doesn't he have a beef with May?

He's probably loving what a disastrous night it's looking for May.

I may move back to the UK

Right, bedtime for you.

Not in terms of the individual, or governance.

ill stick on for a bit and see.

 

[Raees]

I've been sayin all along there was a momentum on the ground for Jezza. Could feel it even in corporate circles.

 

[Damien]

Mhairi Black keeps her seat.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Not in terms of the individual, or governance.

In terms of being unbelievably stupid though.

 

[Ubik]

Lab Majority.

Whisper it.

Don't get carried away!

 

[SalfordRed18]

Black holds in scotland. No biggie.

 

[Scrumpet]

DUP chap thanking his Lord and Saviour and quoting Bible verses in his acceptance speech.

Ok. Thats good to know. I stand corrected. I just thought bookies had the same system as they do with football etc.

 

[Dan]

Tom Watson holds his seat
