Weeks after they kicked out any moderates who opposed the dear leader, I find this hard to believe. 

They kicked out the people who worked in government to stymie Brexit, then voted from the back benches to hand the order paper to people trying to do the same.

Yet was treated as the messiah by his cult like Momentum followers and anyone who disagreed was treated to disdain, mocking and outright abuse.

Look where that has got them, open goal after open goal missed over the past 3 years and now they are on the end of an outright thrashing

Momentum don't care about running the country. They only care about running the labour party

Make no bones about it, Labour needs a purge of the more radical leftists and total morons in prominent positions, Abbott, McDonnell, Thornberry, Butler et al have to go immediately.

exit poll has kinda ruined it , still got the fun of finding out if Swinson has lost and if Johnson lost or not , but it feels like an anti climax now 

Swinson must be under threat if SNP got 55.

I’ve still got an interest in Cairns here, absolutely back of the fridge for the whole campaign.

But who the **** thinks that when looking at Corbyn and making all these comments about him then looks at Jihnson and thinks, 'yep, that's my man'. Every criticism levelled at Corbyn can literally be expanded tenfold when levelled at Johnson not to mention everything else you can chuck at him. Bonkers.

All I can say is, I **** hope you brexit bastards are right. I really do. 

It's not just about Brexit, though. Brexit is a gateway, at most, for the ideology that is the driving force behind his government.

If the exit poll is correct then result would reinforce the lowest of political campaigning and endeavour.

Lying through your arse over and over and over again, avoiding scrutiny (not just in an election campaign), trying to shut down Parliament for an extended period (imagine what that PM and government would do with an 80 seat majority!), a wafer thin manifesto but one that did include comments about judicial review, changing the constitutional arrangements and so on.

They may not have told us everything that they want or intend to do if they have this kind of majority but they've damn well told us enough.

Johnson some sort of 'liberal' Tory. My **** johnson, he is. He is, as I saw someone describe him in the last couple of days, a libertine not a liberal. When addressing the roles of others, he's a Stalinist much like Cummings - said with the deepest uinderstanding of irony given the context of the election.

They won't. It's time for moderates to resign the whip and abandon the name Labour.

Worked well last time... 

The moderates need to regain control and Momentum need to be crushed.

Well lets hope all those cuts she voted through don’t have too much of an impact on here when she signs on.

Priti saying that such a huge majority could actually help a closer future relationship as they would be able to ignore some of the more hard Brexit members

From Patel, one of the biggest headbangers.

I don't see anyone in the wings of the labour to do that job though.

[desensitized43]

How utterly depressing that my first child will be born under a government led by that lying scumbag.

[LakotaDakota]

The exit polls look rather a lot like the referendum by constituency results. To the best estimate they were 406 leave 242 remain. 40 or so difference but not much in it

I'm loving this...

With £3 memberships & a vote for the next leader - I don't see momentum going anywhere

It just highlights how awful Theresa May was last time round.  Practically an open goal and she was Ronny Rosenthal.
