Tea, what's the feeling like in Exeter? I was in Kilburn & Hampstead earlier trying to 'get out' the vote', had some positive conversations. But then I wasn't in Hampstead

I'm a way off 60 yet, you young scamp! And no, you CAN'T have your ball back.

Corbyn you fucking genius!!!!!!!!!

The most delicious scenario I can imagine is Labour and SNP falling 3 seats short of overall majority only to be joined by Sinn Fein MP's who break their 100 year abstention of the commons to allow him to form a government.

Not going to happen, but worth fantasising for the media reaction alone.

Its possible now that this could actually happen.

Corbyn you fucking genius!!!!!!!!!

When the history books are written it will be noted that the turning point was when his name became the official Dissensus election night thread

I'd be hugely surprised if our guy didn't get back in with a comfy margin. Tories barely to be seen on the ground.

Personally? Full of Nepalese curry, a bit stoned and very, very ready for bed. Just gave my best Benn impression (with pipe) on FB if you're interested.

BED!!!! How can you even think about it? Youre supposed to get drunk and laugh for the next 6 hours.

For someone being unelectable that geezer did not do too bad in the end

Exit poll results: Conservatives 10 short of a majority in shock prediction, but how much should we trust it and will it be right?

Exit polls have been very accurate in the past but with the surge of the SNP and Ukip, it makes it much tougher for pollsters to predict a national result at 10pm

This may all fall to pieces over the next few hours, but Im going to enjoy it while I can.

 

[sadmanbarty]

Seems like a Tory majority, or close to it.

 

[droid]

Way too early to say. Exit poll less accurate on safe seats.

Let yourself dream Barty, if only for one glorious evening.

 

[sadmanbarty]

Don't worry, I'm having a great time.

 

[Slothrop]

TBH, I'd taken the pessimistic view that a par score was the complete annihilation of left wing politics in general and the Labour party in particular for the next twenty years, so I'm treating any advance on that as some cause for celebration.

Even if May gets the same result as last time its a victory for the left.

 

[Slothrop]

The implications for the power of the right-wing press are going to be interesting to think through once we know exactly what's happened.

Kensington & Chelsea may go Labour

Its an astonishing result.

The Tories outspent Labour 10/1 on unregulated facebook ads. They had nearly ten times the overall funding. They had almost the entire print media (and to a lesser extent) significant sections of broadcast media behind them.

Labour had an allotment bothering, jam making populist, 5% of Guardian columnists, 200,000 young activists...

...and Stormzy.
