Ne'er get thee stitched til Booris be ditched: UK General Election 2019

Christ I feel bleak. Love to you all

I guarantee split voting will have contributed to this. Won’t just be the unspeakable cunts factor.

How certain is this bullshit?

How wrong would the exit poll need to be for conservatives to fall short of a majority?
Well, it would need to be the worst result since the first BBC exit poll

humans are just too stupid for democracy

Fucking sentient bags of puke walking the streets

Scottish independence and reunity lads

I find the ‘trying to be the first result’ thing to be nonsense - why are all these people trying so hard?

Shithole of a country, has been for years now.

You want to believe it's not but no, fucking scum everywhere

If it's any comfort, the number of countries about which that can be reasonably said is increasing.

They own this now. They own the Brexit fallout. They own the healthcare crisis. They own the housing bubble. Thirteen years in power and no traitorous Wets to blame. Somehow they have to reconcile the fact that the needs and sympathies of the majority of people under 50 are fundamentally at odds with the Tory voting base. They can’t get away with it forever.

Exit poll is worst Labour result since 1935. I just can’t..

Bloodbath. What a tragedy.

WHO ARE ALL THESE FUCKING TORIES? I mean I know, but so fucking many of them...

This is the first bloodbath, the second is what's coming in the Labour Party.

mixed emotions for theresa may tonight

I'm a little curious about the ratio of a massive increase in turnout for the Tories / a dreadful drop for Labour - but mostly I'm off to bed.

I guess Ruth Davison is going skinny dipping.

some difference in tone from the two reaction interviews, some fairly so and some absolutely baked in to the stinking bbc

Andrew Neil grilling McD rn, basically calling for his and Corbz’ head.

I’m switching to the Shipping Forecast :-(

The first of many.

If it is only up one for the LDs, that might mean Swinson's head - assuming she's not lost her seat.

shami chakrabarti on channel 4 is all of us right now

the exit poll is suggesting she has lost her seat yes.

fuck this, off to bed, love you all

dgaf about Jo fucking Swinson right now tbh

same.

Should note the exit poll features 65 seats classified as 'too close to call'. https://t.co/5PaGWYyTL1

Except I do because those fucking useless fucking cunts made no inroads into the Tories at all.

Who is there left in the Lib Dems who can be leader?

Abject failure of Swinson should concentrate minds on the Labour right, but won’t .

A country of turkeys voting (be)for(e) Christmas.

I guess the tankie scarecrow and 'get Brexit done' are enough to lead this country by the nose. What a fucking waste.

Guessing that the Corbyn would be twenty points ahead if he just went remain!!!! people aren’t saying anything right now.

It’s funny. I’m not even crying. It’s like I knew. Like in 2016. It’s the hope that gets you.

fuck :(

goodnight all (all who are going to bed and also I probably ought to do that myself, blah)

Is there a seat prediction link anywhere

I'm blaming this on fat ugly morons in the Midlands and the North of England, no time for niceties now.

Layla Moran.

I think she is technically the only one left, yes, but the chances of them having a left-ish British Palestinian as leader in the current climate are not good.

This country may have just told people like me that we’re not welcome and the blame lies with every handwringing Liberal piece of shit.

also Layla Moran stood down last time for, er, reasons... well, it didn't disqualify Boris

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-47686844

(I think she's been a decent local MP, I acknowledge it's hypocritical of me to give her the benefit of the doubt given the above when I would not do the same for a male MP, and I also note that she has a slightly annoying schoolmarmish rhetorical style which really winds a lot of people up in the comments section of the local paper and think she would be absolutely shredded as leader - although she seems maybe the closest of the remaining MPs in policy to the Kennedy era despite being new intake)

also also, Not All Fat Ugly Morons

right, time to squeeze the cat and hide under my duvet

Ruth Davidson will now swim Loch Ness in the nude. That’s how insane these results are.

I’m really sorry, comrades.

On a nearly full train and mood is diabolical. Some people crying. Where are all these shithead Tories?

So, the only possible fun to be had is down to "who lost their seat"?

I'll find out in the morning, night all!

I thought it was a given that Tories don’t take the train

Maybe that’s just me transplanting my coastal US biases

tory vote of 46% breaks comfortably through every single ceiling of every poll over the past few months. even with the most tory-friendly weighting.

something truly fucking bizarre has happenedhttps://t.co/OyvhFAXkxl
