I feel a little sorry for him for at least being honest about his faith - of course being that way inclined leads to scrutiny. May has played the vicar's daughter/faith angle as well and has a similarly iffy voting records on gay rights but nobody asks her the same question. Of course the big question they always avoid asking capitalist Christians is the rich man/eye of the needle/you're fucked one.

I think we all agree on here that it's a cluster fuck but the problem is the cost of saying to so many people, however correctly, that they were wrong to vote for it. I think it will be hard for anyone to get any kind of deal that won't cost them in some way - that's why I'm happy for now for the tories to own it.

Rudd needs a new seat before she can be leader.

They'll remember to seed their manifesto with bribes - thing is they can't really increase their share of the old vote.

Survation has Labour at 45% now. I feel a bit like the Democrats with Trump - might suit labour to give them a little while to dig their hole and reap a bigger benefit. Not sure if they'd be helped or hindered by Johnson being leader - I can see some people liking him but he snaps under pressure which will be illustrated nicely if he's centre stage of a GE campaign.

I loved the Batman series. RIP

Has the cunt lied to the Queen? To the tower it is.

In her mind it only has to last till the boundary changes. Thing is it's going to be so shit I don't think that will guarantee a win.

Sell the chance to actually win which was never on the cards this time.

Coalition of Cunts it is.

Just read someone saying if a turnout figure of 72% of 18-24 year olds is true then the tabloids are fucked as that group simply doesn't read them.

I hope Corbyn isn't his usual too nice self and absolutely kicks the fucking shit out of the Scottish labour party - they advised supporters to vote Tory to damage the SNP - SNP MPs that could have now helped from a Labour fucking government. Cunts.

Just got up. I rescind my earlier pessimism and look forward to interesting days ahead. The DUP gaining 2 seats and Sinn Fein gaining 3 means the Vermin will stay in even if they fall short of 320 but a second election looks likely. As others have said, the shy Labour "stars" need to get off their arses.

I went to bed on the Newcastle EU vote - knew it wasn't turning out right then.

My cynical pessimism based on those two makes me think Tory majority of 20.

Our fx desk is working all night - could be fun tomorrow.

Definitely not, but at least keeping the vermin out.

+12 for labour - an absolute stretch I know - opens up a lab/ld/SNP working figure.

I saw a tweet from Ben Goldacre saying anyone who uses the phrase "tax burden" should fuck off to Sierra Leone or Bulgaria as they have the lowest taxes in the world but are obviously shit holes. There's no connect between taxes and a civilised society here as there is in Germany or the scandanavian countries. Stuff like this should be taught in schools.

My nasty side has thought at least the destruction of the NHS will mean some of these fuckers will die earlier in pain.

I was just thinking voting labour in Chelmsford is as completely pointless as voting Labour in South Shields. I voted dead on seven, first in the queue, wiped out fourfold within a minute by the cunts who arrived just after me.

Just for context, I've heard a couple of low key discussions in the office which I didn't steam in to as I like having a job but the general dismissal of labour and Corbyn is ridiculous. What I would call sensible people steaming in with "terrorists friend" and saying Johnson isn't too bad. No mention of the lying coward at the top. It's not just Sun readers and cuntish pensioners. I did get the impression it's not just Corbyn though which is why I stayed out. It would be worth a shock just for going to work tomorrow.

I suppose if he does resign, the positive is it'll be three years ahead of what it could have been. Of course 2 extra years of Tory rule is one hell of a price.

That assumes they're all fine upstanding socialists though.

Yes, both relative failures but I don't think Kinnock is met with the same invective. He's seen as bridging the gap between the Thatcher landslides and labour being able to win with Blair which I think is fair. Brexit has changed the picture massively, given that result and how it's affected the voters, I can't see any position labour could have taken to make a huge difference. It also has to be said that Scottish devolution was a massive mistake from a UK Labour Party pov given the number of seats lost due to failure to come to terms with the snp.
