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

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

You are evidently talking from an ignorant position if you don't even recall the Boris-Gove incident. And why you are addressing me personally, as if i had some means of control, well it's totally ridiculous.

You're even offering mitigation for May. It was her uninspiring manifesto, and she was the face of the campaign.

It was a response to your comment. Nothing against you personally. Apologies if it came across like that.

Again, imo it was infighting in Brexit camp that led to May getting to be the PM. It was obvious to everyone that the stage was set for a brexiters to get the seat. But they goofed up.

 

[Zebs]

Like a young @Zebs

Jaysus, I look nothing like him...

 

[Drifter]

What they saying? Im on Sky News.

Saying that both results were good for Tories and bad for labour regarding the exit polls.

 

[ManUtd1999]

Gains for the Tories I think

Thanks.

 

[Pexbo]

Have to hope remain seats go Labour more then - not looking good at all.

You post in the match day threads don't you?

 

[Snowjoe]

Same, but the interesting thing is that UKIP vote is split.

I've never been sure where the whole UKIP voters are Tory voters came from. From my experience lots of working class labour voters have been desperate to leave and were voting UKIP.

 

[narnar]

Are many or any other seats expected to be declared before midnight?

 

[Rightnr]

This is not looking good. Like the EU referendum, the share in Newcastle and Sunderland was indicative of a bad result for me.

 

[RedSky]

So, the Tories might still get a majority. feck.

 

[dbs235]

Yeah nothing in this election has anything to do with them. I'd get rid of the votes for women and anybody without a knighthood too. fecking proles!

Such a childish response. If you're going to go that way then why not let 5 year olds vote too?

 

[sammsky1]

Conservatives increasing their share of the vote there.

just mopping up homeless UKIP voters

 

[altodevil]

Haha no not much. Naturally pessimistic due to being Scottish.

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

Off to bed. I'll check in with my boy Andrew Neil in the morning.

 

[bri2013]

UKIP being decimated is a big concern.

I think this was always going to happen post brexit referendum

 

[Pexbo]

Haha no not much. Naturally pessimistic due to being Scottish.

Ahh understood.

 

[DatIrishFella]

So, will this be another case of the old fecking the young by keeping that creature in power? And is Jeremy Corbyn your Bernie Sanders?

 

[Giggsy92]

How accurate were the swings in Sunderland/Newcastle in 2015? I remember them being harbingers of doom for the EU Referendum...

 

[The Law of Denis]

Exit polls off by around 3% Conservative from Labour

From these two seats

 

[RedSky]

Yup.

 

[Baxter]

Ffs bad news already

More hated by the right

That hour with the exit poll was fun, at least. Memories to cherish.

UKIP are antithetical to the Tories in some ways, except for Brexit which Labour also supports. If Labour were remain like some wanted, they'd be decimated by floating UKIP voters.

Starting to think it's a media stitch up to maintain viewing figures for the night.

 

[Reiver]

It's a bit early for the beeb to be wheeling out Neil Hamilton

 

[Wumminator]

How good was that hour when we believed? Ah man they were good days.

 

[Fener1907]

Wait, people are being pessimistic, but didn't Labour gain more votes in Newcastle? According to Britain Elects, they did.



Why read heavily into Sunderland and ignore Newcastle?

Didn't they say Labour doing worse in safe seats and better in non-safe seats (or words to those effect)

 

[montpelier]

it's bad if the UKIP vote is going Tory in places like Sunderland

 

[Drifter]

Ukip reduced to Wales

 

[rcoobc]

Ukip reduced to Wales

No MPs
No MEPs
No Lords

Feel sorry for them

Exit poll predicted a bigger swing towards Labour.

But still, only two results. Couple of hours to go until the big results start to come in.

[Adisa]

Hope to wake up to a hung parliament.

 

[Ekkie Thump]

Refuse to believe exit poll. Shy Tories everywhere will prop the buggers up to yet one more slim majority. I'm taking my captain negative hat off and going to sleep.

Suppose it's miles better than I thought it was going to be mind.

 

[Rolandofgilead]

Because my 5 year old daughter told her mum today she likes thereasa may.

do you have any stats on that? This report supports what you say: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/laurence-stellings/ukip-poll-voters_b_6631026.html

Ah, okay. Well, let's hope it's one-off.

 

[Untied]

This is good

 

[Snowjoe]

Jeez a lad on my Facebook is going crazy with joy because labour have won Newcastle and Sunderland
