[Grinner]

In five years time people will be stupider...just think about that.

 

[Honest John]

Labour hold. Well done guys

 

[Rams]

I live in the North and saw what was happening on the ground. The Brexit delay has angered a lot of people and even people i personally know who have voted Labour all their lives voted for the Tories today.

Turkey’s voting for Xmas!

 

[Pexbo]

Labour smash Tories in Newcastle.

lets call it there.

 

[sebsheep]

Yep, I don't get how people are letting him wind them up so much

It'll take more than that to wind me up tbh, just not sure why anyone would want to act like that, online or not.

 

[Berbaclass]

Yep, I don't get how people are letting him wind them up so much

Think people are aware, many of us just also enjoy a good tory bashing

 

[sebsheep]

Labour smash Tories in Newcastle.

I 2nd this.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Labour are winning the election

 

[Red Dreams]

How has that childish attitude worked out for us? You support four more years of Donald Trump's corruption, cruelty, and division if Bernie doesn't get the nomination.

The leading Democratic candidate, Biden is going to let bygones be bygones and work with senators and congressmen who have enabled a Russian asset.
There is no difference between them.

Voting for a lesser evil...still gives you Evil.

 

[Pexbo]

1-0

 

[Rolandofgilead]

Boom 1-0. To labour! Full time ref.

 

[WR]

As an Irishman, this has confused me beyond belief for so long.

It's actually staggering. I don't get how it's possible.

I almost exclusively see Labour or Anti Tory support online.

Feck sake, someone explain this to me please

50+ year olds who don’t frequent social media who also turn out to vote in a far higher percentage than those below 30.

South of England also.

 

[esmufc07]

Can a loss be a win?

 

[Redlambs]

feck them, seriously.

Shared delusion.

 

[Grinner]

Mackem wearing his shirt!

 

[Drifter]

thats a laughable strategy if you're a labour supporter

Yes i am Labour and Labour should continue as they are reaching out to those supporters who felt they were left behind by New labour, building that grass roots.

 

[Smores]

Lets have Corbyn instead then. That sounds like a great idea.

Or you can factor in all elements rather than just chucking out blame where it's easiest.

I've not been a Corbyn backer for some time, i just defend his policies which i back or what I've seen as unfair attacks.

I said a few days ago Starmer and drop nationalisation would have been a better platform. Yet, even that wouldn't have won with Brexit taking these northern seats like Halifax. This was never a winnable election but Labour could have prevented it being this bad probably in 20 or 30 seats.

 

[Pexbo]

2-0 Labour

 

[ChrisNelson]

Pretty much everywhere I've turned on social media, forums and social circles are fully against the Tories and Johnson.

How the hell are they getting a majority?

Simple... people who vote Conservative do so then go home and get on with their lives.

A lot of Labour voters are like vegans; they can’t just be vegans - everyone else has to know about it and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

That’s why.

 

[Tibs]

2-0

 

[RedSky]

It'll take more than that to wind me up tbh, just not sure why anyone would want to act like that, online or not.

An adult acting like that confuses me to be honest. I'd understand his posting if he was a teenager.

 

[Bojan11]

feck you Sunderland.

 

[esmufc07]

Brexit Party stopped a Tory win there.

 

[Grinner]

Vampira wins Sunderland!

 

[Redplane]

50+ year olds who don’t frequent social media who also turn out to vote in a far higher percentage than those below 30.

South of England also.

The babyboomers should go down in history as the selfish generation. Take take take and protect protect protect without regard for the future.

 

[RedSky]

Blow the whistle now please Ref.

 

[Pexbo]

That was one of the too close to calls.

 

[Jagga7]

Next goal wins. Lets do it.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

You should tell that joke to some disabled people who have to deal with universal credit, they'll love it. All Tories are cnuts. Enjoy your five houses and turning down work because you'll get taxed a little bit more. Heartless cnut.

15 properties (some houses, some flats) - if you are counting...

@Sultan - I assume you will take action on this one.

 

[MoskvaRed]

feck them, seriously.

It’s the same as when Tony Benn declared the 1983 election a success because 32% had voted for a socialist platform. Ideological purity trumps the ability to actually win power and implement changes.

 

[Pexbo]

Blyth coming in now

 

[sammsky1]

Ask them how proud of that vote they are next time they need to use a hospital.

I know six people from extended family and friends who have suffered illness and used NHS in past 9 months; being treated for stomach cancer breast cancer, stroke, serious car accident and a heart attack.

I've made a point to ask all of them about their NHS experience and if they were happy with the service they got. All were full of praise, delighted with NHS and think they are alive because of the care they got.

I know it qualitative and the stats paint a different picture, but our health service is already one of the very best in the world. And that context is delibereky lost when politicians engage in hyperbole to win votes.

 

[Acole9]

2-0 Labour - It's back on boys and girls...

 

[Ubik]

Yup, that's it.

Tories have flipped Blyth. fecking hell

 

[GDaly95]

The Sun have won every election since 1974. How am I supposed to think anything of the British people right now. As a whole. Honestly?

 

[Flying high]

Simple... people who vote Conservative do so then go home and get on with their lives.

A lot of Labour voters are like vegans; they can’t just be vegans - everyone else has to know about it and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

That’s why.

Yep. They read a few headlines about IRA sympathiser commie, and don't bother to find out anything else.

Run by the press.

 

[P-Nut]

Thank god for the Brexit Party

 

[711]

Yeah exactly. @Labour4Life ran a poll on Twitter and 93% of the votes were for Labour. Was expecting 500 seats for Labour. In shock here.
