did Kuenssberg just describe Soubry's speech as being "code for someone to go"?

she is all over the place

Yes.

We've had a good night with precious little bad language, let's keep it that way please.

Not trying to be difficult, but nothing in that equates to bad language for me. I am guessing it's the 'pissed off'...on this side of the pond it's not even close to foul language.

Massive result that. Brighton!

Forza the rainbow flag wavers!

Gonna watch the rest in bed on my phone lads.

We fought the good fight.

All hail The Bucket.

We go again in November.

Corbyn vs Johnson.

Super-Fight 1.

I'm apolitical and tend to swerve this stuff, but given what's happened how can the UK start Brexit negotiations in 11 days.
May not have a PM in 11 days.
The Tories have really screwed up since 2015 haven't they.

that was a great five minutes

IDS waffling, followed by Ayesha Hazarika being paraded on the state broadcaster and told to publicly admit her errors, and apologise to the Leader.

Which tbf she did.

 

[hibbo'sclass]

Chuka Amunna is a bit of a suck-ass.

 

[orly]

Can we put some snake emojis under Chuuka while he is talking

 

[tsubaki]

Umunna's surrendered now.

Soubry is just speaking what everyone is thinking.

Don't see how May is going to be able to stay on as PM, much less have the authority to carry out the Brexit negotiations. Her judgement has, it must be said, been catastrophically bad. But by the same token I can't see how a Lab-led alliance could work given the numbers. And I really don't think the nation wants another rematch any time soon. This country is so fooked.

Let's just put things into perspective, though. Lab will have made about 30 gains in what has been perceived as a very good night for them, but they would still need another 60-70 at the next election to win a majority.
