It will spell the end for Corblyme, good riddance to a traitor and IRA lover
I worked for the DHSS in 1979 and went to a union meeting in Archway Tower where the speaker was the Hornsey Labour Party man Mr Corbyn. I was surprised by his radical Marxist views and thought he was similar to Tony Benn in many ways. I was young and idealistic then and came from a very Labour/Fabian family. The IRA thing is very true as he talked about his freedom fighting friends in the Archway Tavern across the road which was an IRA pub then. I said at the end of the meeting to my union co-ordinator " God I hope he never becomes an MP"

I think all the political parties in the UK seem to run by complete idiots and I think most non biased people just long for somebody who seems vaguely normal. Perhaps politics is really just for the feeble minded. Its all rather sad.
I was at that meeting. He didn't say anything of the kind.

I asked him who he was voting for and he replied "I want brexit done and dusted" I said good man we need an end to this farce so we can all move on. He then said I'm a labour man through and through and have voted labour all my life, but today I'm voting for boris cos im thinking of my grand children. If labour got in we would have utopia for a couple of years and then the bill needs paying and we wont be able to pay it, that's why along with Brexit and for the first time I'm voting for boris, it's hard, but I think it's the right thing to do.

True labour bailing out as he wants brexit finished with. There is plenty more like him out there.
What does 'get brexit done' mean that we won't hear anymore about it after January. Boris by the way he may not even be a MP after this election.

Its heartening to see so many queues of young people at the polling stations. It gives a disillusioned political veteran such as myself a lift. The crucial piece of information, though, is where, not how many. Labour could win the popular vote in a landslide but its majorities within constituencies that matter. It remains to be seen whether Labour can get the vote out in enough places. It sounds like they're struggling in Grimsby, Bolsover and Crewe but maybe doing a tiny bit better than expected in the south with Boris' seat in particular danger. Apparently the local parties say its going to be really very close in deed in uxbridge.

That's be weird wouldn't it? Tories win a majority but their leader loses his seat. Technically he wouldn't be obliged to stand down as priminister but it would be embarrassing as hell. Not that I think Boris has an ounce of shame.

To be fair East Dunbartonshire is quite rural and the austerity she helped introduce whilst in coalition has almost certainly destroyed the public transport in the area.

SkyNews Australia bod says her Tory sources say Boris is in big, big trouble in Uxbridge and exit polls suggest the Libs vote has totally collapsed and gone over to Labour. Could make a hell of a difference.

I live in Thurrock, a super marginal. Whoever gains Thurrock, wins the UK. In the last two elections, the Tory majority has got smaller: 2015 by 540 votes, 2017 350 votes. Yet no big electioneering here, strange. When I voted, the place was empty, my friend voted a bit later she said empty too. I quit the Labour Party. Was visited by them & said I would probably vote for them. They knocked me up at 5.30 this evening told 'em they had my vote. Can't understand why they not fighting over this seat.

I'd love that to be true but distribution is king. The Tories don't have to win the popular vote, just the narrow little local contests where it matters.

Get reality into you fella - only Blairite politics gets Labour back. Continuing with this Marxist crap consigns us to a generation of Tories.

Next time you, or your wife, or your mum or your dad, or your daughter or your son, is left lying in pain, on the floor, in a hospital corridor, for hours and hours........you can reflect how you ( and other morons), enabled that situation
Wouldn't bother me at all, once again you numpties backed a loser, get used to it, read the political history of the country before trying again. nobody wins an election by moving to the left trying to be hard left, Blair knew that he moved to the middle ground and won three elections on the trot, you just lost 4 on the trot ha ha ha, now who's a moron
