Second Referendum says Nige LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Amber Rudd on her 3rd recount.

Full on break down.

Has to be said now that whatever unfolds from here, Theresa May is toast. Her judgement on this has been disastrous.

Battersea, Stockton South and Leeds NW all gains for Labour

Guy from DUP was on early doors saying vote by vote basis but not letting on what it would "cost"

Unionists over here have friends in both parties. More naturally drawn probably to the tories, but many Labour supporters within them. Not sure how any formal coalition would even be plausible.

This as well

Although I think it somehow emboldened Corbyn and the under 30's

If MPs hadn't backstabbed Corbyn, we might not be holding an election right now. Sort of a perfect storm?

Farage says he'll return... thought we'd seen the back of that fool.

Working with Trump administration not looking as pleasant as it once was perhaps..

 

[evilwebby]

Stockton South result is an absolute hammerblow. Lab will be delighted with that.

 

[AndyC]

The Ukip to Labour swing is frankly staggering, pleasing but staggering.

Betfair has Corbyn favourite for next PM

Dont think it'll be an issue now. DUP need a strong Tory party who need DUP votes, SF will be biggest party in next GE in N Ireland.

No mate. Theresa is clearly odds on.

 

[abelard]

one lesson from Trump/Brexit/Le Pen/Melanchon/Corbyn, which you won't read about in the Economist/FT: people don't like the effects of shareholder capitalism, even if many of them don't really understand what that is.

The unionist vote is way up here. SF not close to first place to be honest.
