Chin up Anna, its not all bad...

Lets wait and see how the Tories mess things up.

Unfortunately, the Tories 'messing up' is going to hurt people so I hope you're wrong. I hope they've learned something, but I doubt it.

Your right Anna... the Tories have made some unbelievable promises, when they fail to deliver the Labour voters will come flooding back..

But they won, and I hope they make a good job, though I very much doubt it given their past record.

Labour need a massive overhaul to get back in power, I'm a lifelong Socialist, but this must be the weakest Labour party I have ever known..

I'm afraid Jeremy wasn't good enough.

There's 1 seat yet to declare. 

 

Diane Abbott reckons there's still a chance.

The tory vote was up by 1.2%, Brexit/UKIP total remained constant at 2%, while Labour fell by 7.8%. So it wasn't so much that the Tories did well, as it was Labour voters were voting "anyone but Labour" in droves.

Labour and Lib Dens got a bloody nose because they refused to listen to the majority  of their voters, and in Parliament  they still don't  hear us, they are intent  on working for their own wishes rather than the will of the people. Let's hope this teaches them a lesson.

As for the Beast of Bolsover  it's  time he went he was too smug for his own good.

Jo Swinson.? Arrh poor girl, didn't  she realise when she did so well last time was because most of them were protest votes.

At least she won't be on Strictly next year... not with her 2 left feet.

So now he is in with a massive majority the 20,000 police that were going to be recruited to get us back to 2010 levels can be scrapped, along with the 50,000 nurses and the 40 new hospitals. I find it hard to believe politicians as they make it up to suit themselves and rarely give a straight answer to a question but I wouldn't trust Johnson as far as I could throw him.

The lib dems got around 1.3 million more votes than they did in 2017 so i'd say they did listen to the majority of their voters.

Note also that a majority of the voting public voted for parties that were committed to Remain or to have a second referendum.
