If Boris Johnson replaces Theresa May it'll guarentee a win, and maybe even a landslide for Labour in September or whenever the next election will be. I hope that's what they do.

So the inevitable has happened and it's a huge Tory landslide, wait what!!

Hilarious to see them make such idiots of themselves.

It's June.
May is over

Her contempt has cost her.

At 5.30 UK time

UKIP got zero votes in Pendle. Was a big majority that needed overturning. Near 70% turnout.
Andrew Stephenson is a knob.

Captain Theresa May and her hapless crew have steered the HMS Great Britain on to treacherous rocks just off the coast of Brexit. Far from looking strong and stable the ship is listing badly and nearly lost the Rudder. Some crew members survive but the Pound has sunk without trace. Cabin boy Boris Johnson seen running around aimlessly on deck.

Genuine question, where does this leave Nicola Sturgeon?? Given the massive swing away from the SNP??

Steve-Harpers-perm · Post by **Steve-Harpers-perm** » Fri Jun 09, 2017 6:41 am

The thought of Johnson as PM is frightening.

At least he'll make us all laugh with his made up words and silly behaviour though he's such a card.

Claretmatt4 · Post by **Claretmatt4** » Fri Jun 09, 2017 6:45 am

Remarkable result.

Corbyn has done fantastic but I think going forward labour need to replace him.

He has done as well as he could do, but there are still many people who will never vote for him because he's too left and because a lot of the sh*t thrown at him has stuck. A know a lot of people who said they will never vote for him. What labour need is a younger Corbyn. Someone with his honestly and ideas but without the **** stuck to his back. Unfortunately there are not many decent politicians in his ilk.

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Fri Jun 09, 2017 6:47 am

Boris Johnson was one of the principal campaigners promising this wonderful world for Britain after the Brexit vote so let him go and deliver on it.

Theresa May and Amber Rudd voted Remain.

"Just woke up what have I missed"

Theresa May has joined Sean Dyche on the brink.

Boris was a remainer at first wasn't he. A man more opportunistic than strong and stable May.

Pound plummeted in value, wonder if all those lefties who were so upset over it plummeting when we voted Brexit will be equally and concerned upset now...

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Fri Jun 09, 2017 6:58 am

A very optimistic view if you consider a "Hung Parliament" being "still in charge" when the whole purpose of calling an election was to receive a strong mandate for Brexit talks. Now that really is clutching at straws.

If we hadn't voted Brexit the pound would not have plummeted as much as it has. Brexit has caused instability and uncertainty.

I wonder if those who voted Leave will now be xo keen on democracy and accepting the democratic vote?

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Fri Jun 09, 2017 6:59 am

The pound drops in value when someone important farts it seems.

Paul Nuttall has been seen celebrating the election result saying how honoured he is be the next PM.

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Fri Jun 09, 2017 7:07 am

Most frightening of all is the fact that Amber Rudd is only 7/1 to be next PM.

The list of candidates is worse than those who could possibly replace SD if the Palace job proves to be his next step.

Funny I imagine that's what many Labour voters would have done this morning should the Tories have got a majority. You really need to stop the polarising of society that seems to go on in your head. Do you have any friends who may possibly hold different political viewpoints to yourself?

Yes, loads. Got one literally laughing his head off at me in facebook messenger as we speak.

Won't be laughing in 12 months time though when he is on bare contract hours and his minimum wage of 10 pounds an hour is lost amongst the rate of inflation.

The Euro Leaders will be laughing their tits off and running their hands with glee. While they are busy putting together their Brexit demands, we are sat with a hung parliament and hugely divided vote.

This was possibly the worst result for Brexit.
