    The more I read, the more it seems like the DUP will give the Tories the support to get over the 326 threshold. It seems Labour needs to restrict the Tories to 315 then?
     
  2. of course the DUP is going to ruin it for everyone

    Labour has now officially made gains on 2016. Corbyn must feel so vindicated.

    Fantastic. Ethnic socialism is alive and well!

    Wow! Loving this! Happened to wake up for the Clegg exit - massive to consider that Labour has never held that seat. And an all red Sheffield for the first time.

    Paul Blomfield was elected in my constituency (Sheffield Central).

    Very disappointed that Labour have lost Derbyshire North East. This is probably as much of a result of Engel being a bad MP than Corbyn himself.

    Crazy that the projected vote share is now Conservatives: 43% and Labour: 40%.

    40% is more than Blair's last government, more than Brown's loss, more than Miliband's loss...

    edit: also shows how odd our system is.

    Rumours that the DUP are drafting their terms for a coalition - mainly centred around a softer Brexit. They want to preserve free movement of labour due to border with Ireland.

    edit: apparently they're very anti-LGBTQ rights and anti-Europe in general so maybe not a positive.

    Alistair Campbell: "Her big mistake is that she has governed for the 52% with two fingers up to the 48%" - you can't do this!

    Funny watching Labour MPs who opposed Corbyn coming out and being positive about him. #humblepie
