Like him or loathe him, Boris Johnson has proven to be a very effective leader. The scale of this victory is a real shock for everyone, which comes on the back of a successful Brexit campaign.
who would think Boris the Buffoon would be so effective?

No scandal appeared able to strike a blow against the Tories this time but then when 90% of the media protects you then this is always going to be the outcome.

He seems to have a lot of support BUT i think thats more a case of Corbyn being unlikeable (for me and i dare say many others) and his front bench seeming to be incompetent (an Education secretary who dropped out of school + Abbott) though im actually not sure whats true and whats not.
Corbyn seemed quite clueless on his own policies and how they would work out financially...
Shot himself in the foot.
Labour need to find someone young and charismatic...and a top quality new front bench.
Could be 1 step back but 2 steps forward if they do this.
Lib dems meanwhile are a laughing stock.

Maybe it is time for the Labour Party to enter a period of reflection, and to return to first principles? Perhaps consider the way it has alienated some former devotees, including Christians? As Catholic and trade unionist Jim Larkin said:
“There is no antagonism between the Cross and socialism! A man can pray to Jesus the Carpenter, and be a better socialist for it. Rightly understood, there is no conflict between the vision of Marx and the vision of Christ. I stand by the Cross and I stand by Karl Marx. Both Capital and the Bible are to me Holy Books.”

You’re a proper strange fella.
There is some right aggressive bile being spouted in this thread. Makes for very unpleasant reading... as does the result of the election.

Jim Larkin is one of the key figures in Trade Unionism in the British Isles!
And I know many church folk, from an older generation admittedly, who used to be Labour all their lives who no longer vote for the party as they think it has lost its way from when they were young.

I'm Labour, but as much as Corbyn works for me, he has way too many skeleton's in his closet, and it's shown.
His reluctance (Whether that be a party decision or not), not to state where Labour stood on Brexit killed him. The media were 1000% against him, but let's be honest, he couldn't beat Theresa May, how was he going to beat Boris?

I'm sorry.

Awful, awful news to wake up to, but it is what it is. BJ is best at being a populist that wins stuff.
Farewell to Northern Ireland and Scotland I guess.
