as devastating Brexit party has been on labour you have to wonder how many of those would've gone to conservatives

this could've been a different result if brexit party didnt stand

I think the Labour voters who changed to the Brexit Party would never have voted Conservatives. But this IMO.

WTF, just watching Alan Johnson (who I deeply respect) absolutely slaughter Landsman on ITV. Whilst Ed Balls looks on agreeing. Osborne can do nothing more than grin.
Momentum vs Labour bloodbath.

Election night is a bit like Halloween for witches, or xmas for being nice; politicians feel like they can speak what's really on their mind for a night...just do it all year round!!!!

Did I hear Landsman say Labour are making grounds?

shows how vital standing down BXP candidates in other areas was

He just compared this Tory victory as a crisis comparable to WW2...

He needs locking up.

That is politics in 2019 in a nutshell. Everyone has lost perspective.

It's understandable if it was coming from the electorate but these are key players. It devalues language. It's no wonder it's become so adversarial.

Jo Swinson potentially crashing In Dunbartonshire.

Definitely, there's a % of Labour voters who would never ever vote for Con so you can't simply migrate those TBP votes across.

Tory majority would have probably been at least 10 seats more if not for the BP.

My thoughts too. A few might have held their nose but most would have not bothered.

It's never an "understandable" comparison.

Exit polls are not so accurate in Scotland. But it's stating she will lose her seat.

The only issue is the SNP will take it.

It's a lose lose situation.

Apparently Newcastle North could be close. 10k majority in 2017

There had to be a batch recount, which ended up with major losing the seat.
