The initial YouGov MRP wins again.The Conservative win West Bromwich East - the seat of former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson.
The thing about the right, broadly speaking (and not specific to UK politics), is that for whatever reason they can set aside even the starkest of differences they might have with themselves and turn up when it really matters as election time comes.He's saying what I have been the past couple of days, however he goes too far solely blaming Labour for the strength of the right. It's obviously not all down to them.
They certainly have played a role though, they have let us all down.
I voted LibDem, but it was wasted in Theresa May's constituency. At least I have stuck to my pro remain principles.It's surprising and at the same it isn't.
Lib Dems have been clear from the start they will remain, we've had so much vitrol over this 2016 result from the remain side, millions marching, the country almost split on the vote but none of them can even vote Lib Dem once in their lives to stop Brexit and let Lib Dems in power for a poxy 5 years. The Lib Dems haven't even moved the needle because people are so tied to Con or Lab, it something I've seen since I was young, a two party system.
Well I know Wrexham, Darlington and Stoke are strong leave areas.Tweet

It’s a good analysis but let’s also keep it real too; most people just aren’t very intelligent and are single issue voters. Largely against their own self interests. Boris, like Trump, has tapped into the psyche of the legions of dummiesSo far no-one giving credit to Boris and his strategy. He has smashed the Red Wall. He has re-positioned his party as no longer a Southern Party, but a Northern party too, as well as parts of Wales. He got a deal that no-one said he could, took the risk of an election which May screwed up, got a deal that united his party enough to pass the previous parliament, a more popular deal and PM than May, he moved the party to the left in the way that Blair moved Labour to the right by adding things like increases to the Minimum Working Wage and putting NHS as a main policy. He also ended the divide in his party over Europe that it has had my entire life, and proven he was democratically right to do so. He's set for a landslide victory that demolishes the Labour Party. I think people have severely underestimated him, he portrays himself as an amiable fool, but he has a sense for what is popular. And he will have more power over his party than any Tory leader since Thatcher.
Raab wins his seat, and ITV stick to 80+ seats prediction.
Truth. Reality. It’s bleak.It’s a good analysis but let’s also keep it real too; most people just aren’t very intelligent and are single issue voters. Largely against their own self interests. Boris, like Trump, has tapped into the psyche of the legions of dummies
Positioning for the next leadership election, little else.This should be funny. C'mon Jezza, what have you got to say?
Seems strange that the Brexit candidate appears to be a nice Jewish boy.Jewish candidate with a Chanukah on next to Corbyn.
I've said it elsewhere but in this social media age the right has figured out, through cynical and dishonest means, how to convince many poor voters to vote against their own economic interests. It makes me very sad,
