Didn’t have you down as a troll @Nymzee

It's not the only thing people are bothered about, though.

People are worried about getting a mortgage, or paying the ones they have off. They're worried about interest rates and inflation rising (which Labour seem to just insist won't happen despite the evidence to the contrary).

They're worried about getting a small business off the ground, or maintaining a small business, and what taxes and inflation and interests could do to stem that.

Look, I'm not saying either of those things are 'correct' to be worried about. But they are worries for people. It's not just Brexit or the NHS or Education.

But, there's also a huge argument that Brexit needs to be finished one way or the other for the country to start seeing investment again. There's tons of companies still investing or willing to invest but Brexit is a huge, lingering issue. And until it's done one way or the other (I'd even remain if it came to it for that) then it won't kick on.

Labour's manifesto added another six months, and then another referendum, and then another round of negotiations after that which are the ones still to come anyway. All on the farcical basis that Corbyn will easily be able to negotiate a better deal (why would the EU allow him to do that, why would they change again?)

I didn't just say NHS and Education, I just picked them out but I mean without them we are nothing. Whole thing is embarrassing as it is mainly on Brexit and bet it's not done any time soon anyway even with a Tory majority. Ashamed of the country.

24 000 people took part at 144 poling stations says...do me a favour there are 144 polling stations in Liverpool alone.

That's what I was thinking...

SNP though. 55 seats predicted. That is amazing.

Probably most of the additional 20seats are motivated by Scottish remainers leaving Labour who have been very unconvincing on their EU policy.

I live in the actual north.

what’s John Snow really like???

Ah the night's watch. That explains it

Labours own fault - Corbyn and momentum have utterly destroyed the party.

Sooner they bugger off to the Lib Dems where they belong the better.

Labour needs to get back to its centre position if it ever hopes to win an election again.

The exit polls are invariably correct to a seat or two.

True, I meant the less-specific polls/survery coming out after the referendum,

Pollsters exist to make astrologers look respectable. Exit poll is the only one that get's anywhere near the mark.

First declaration seems to be taking a little while.. could be a sign of a high turnout

You don´t really understand this politics business do you?

Absolute disaster.

Average 166 per poling station

Eh???

Not had a single leaflet from Tories here.

Exactly. Johnson swerved any interviews he didn't need to do, did the bare minimum of campaigning for the election and still won.

The whole momentum side of labour has to go tomorrow. Otherwise labour aren't coming back.
