It's a lot easier to accuse people of being tories if they don't want to nationalise the supermarkets.

Promise the BBC 25% more funding and offer a £1b subsidy to Murdoch and you win. If Labour wants to win an election, they need to stop pissing about with the electorate and talk to the people that decide the voting.

I think the most bizarre part of this thread is the surety with which amateur psephologists put forward their opinions.

No. No. No. No. No.

Anyone who is 'my sort of liar' to get elected is everyone else's/other's sort of liar once elected.

Of the votes in so far in 3 constituencies Brexit Party vote is up 10.2%, Cons 2.9% Labour down 13.8% which seems a strong suggestion that a lot of Labour voters have gone to the Brexit party. Perhaps I am reading it wrong.

The exit polls suggest that the country is significantly further right than the centre.

Farage has shouted from the rooftops for months that this was his strategy.

I just feel sorry for my kids - one at uni and the other trying to make his way in the world.

Good night all.

Wow. can I get some salt with my Twitter feed?

Corbynistas doubling down and blaming the few remaining Labour centrists, not their spectacularly useless messiah.

Yep, it's astounding.  Still, the Labour Party has sorted its rules so that the next leader will almost certainly by another Corbyn type, so they'll get to enjoy being in opposition for the foreseeable.

All I want to point out is that what the overall figures might suggest isn't necessarily the underlying flow as shown by the various graphs that have been doing the rounds in the lead up to this election (as others).
