That's a possiblity.

I would just like to reassure Labour supporters and Remain supporters, that the election result is not a disaster. Not by a long chalk.

Brexit will bring more, not less benefits to the UK, and Conservative policies will be of far more benefit to the poor than Corbyn's, which would have bankrupted the economy.

I know that so many people have been scared of this political situation, but believe me, this is the best result we could have had. Within a year, most people will realise that this is correct.

The NHS will not be sold off, it will be better funded. Don't believe the Labour lies, just look at what happens.

Washington & Sunderland West Labour hold majority 3,723

Newcastle Upon Tyne North Labour hold majority 5,765

Halton Labour hold majority 18,975

Drilling down through the exit poll stats with Jeremy Vine, it seems clear that a lot of Labour/Leave seats are indeed forecast to go blue, as many of us have been predicting for many weeks now, to the disdain of our resident remainers.

Even where they are holding seats their majority is reduced.

Our resident remainers will not be very happy in the morning.

I have always voted Labour. But, thwe people will have to feel sorry for. Is the poor.

Boris and his cronies will not give a damn for them.

The Tories have always been the rich mans party. But Labour has changed over the years.

Its is no longer the Workers party, that looks after the working man, or woman.

As soon as the final decision is in. Boris will have his 'cut throat team with him' And then decide how to recoup the money that he will promise.

Arthur, I understand your concern, but I can assure you that the poor will not suffer more under the Conservatives. We are now coming out of the austerity caused by Labour's prolific overspending, and you will soon see how the Conservatives will change things for the better.

As far as Brexit is concerned, the advantages of trading with the whole world on our terms will benefit this country. The EU is more of a drag on our economy than many people appreciate.

Also, all those young people who registered to vote in the last couple of weeks ... I guess they went out and voted Tory.

Only one result, but the swing to SNP is slightly smaller than the exit poll predicted. Here’s hoping.
