Did you see John Bercow’s face when the exit poll was announced ? Someone said it was as if he had just read his wife’s What’s App history !! Ha ha !!

FTSE up 2% this morning as the city breaths a sigh of relief as the nightmare of McDonnell in no.11 disappears

incredible that Jezza says he’s going to stay on to oversee where they go in the immediate aftermath. I’m not complaining he’s the Conservative’s biggest selling point but after last night disaster he should have resigned already

Oh by the way, Boris hiding in the Fridge wasn’t half as bad as old Jezza hiding behind the benches when Boris challenged him to have an election in October and now we all know the reason why !!!

Oh Jeremy Corbyn , Oh Jeremy Corbyn !!

I've had a word with him - he's staying into the new year so I win my bet with Adolf.

The Labour Party is it’s own worst enemy, in my opinion their fate was sealed way back in 2010 when they chose Ed Miliband over his brother David. I reckon it would have been oh so different. Enjoy your two decades in the wilderness.

Wasn't the bet that he wouldn't be the leader of the party at the end of the year??

Just add it to the amount you give to the Salvation Army.

indeed, one of the early leadership front runners sneered at someone because he had a white van parked on his drive and displaying the Cross of St George

Labour have viewed their traditional voters with contempt over the years, parachuting in the Islington set into safe seats and sticking two fingers up to the electorate - Mary Creagh is a fine example

I'm sure you'll enjoy your moment Alfiebabe, and no doubt the benefits of Torys stealing from the poor to pay the rich, but this is a sad day for Britain. I'm confident that with such a huge majority, Johnson will completely ignore his election spending promises and go back to the same old, same old.

He will of course use the excuse of Brexit to suggest he doesn't have as much money to spend as he had hoped but the under lybing Tory mantra will be there for all to see.

Hopefully, Labour will now recognise the hopes and dremas of its previous core support and return to fughting for them at every opportunity.

Hello Capper old lad, what a beautiful day! I’m glad you’ve turned up I was beginning to think you’d caught the morning flight to Venezuela.

‘a sad day for Britain’ how’s that? the people have spoken and democracy has been served. Try to accept it and it may help your healing process

Capper, all your sensible Labour voters have now told you that your Labour manifesto was
Totally not credible and your Party was not allowing what they voted for.
We shall see what Boris has promised to do that he will do and that’s to put a sensible amount of money into the NHS and investing into trans pennine rail etc etc - you can only judge him in what he does and he may surprise you !

So let’s see as the jury is out for now as you just cannot keep making it up until he has been given the chance !

Jezza and McDonnell were too dangerous anyway l to risk our security also and that had a bearing also on the result.

Brexit killed Labour - but I really don't see what else could have been done.

People wanted a firm position - Leave or Remain.

Pick a side though, and Labour loses half it's vote.

Go full remain then it loses the towns & villages.

Go full leave it loses the cities.

A poisoned chalice. It's [REMOVED] the party good and proper.

The referendum itself killed Labour. It's just taken three and a half years and two elections to finish it's job.

Personally, I think going full Leave was the only option because it was the same one as the Tories.
The Lib Dems might have made some gains, but you wouldn't have seen the Tories taking so many votes from Labour on a Leave ticket. Both would have been on the same page there so it would have had to come down to the other policies.

That's hindsight though.

Labour trying to appease everyone worked to an extent in 2017, but two and a half years later people wanted a clear position and decided we didn't have one, so they were voting for the party that did.

For this, McDonnell has to take the lions share of the blame I reckon.
