The greatest thing I have ever seen in my life is Boris Johnson getting his win standing in front of a person in a Elmo costume that got 40 votes and a person in a buckethead getting 80 votes

I got to hand it to the UK

This process is grat

Blair held Sedgefield for 24 years. County Durham is a place where mining and heavy industry reigned supreme. Think of the Rust Belt here. They voted to leave by a significant margin in 2016 and Labour ignored their wishes.

Labour is learning the hard way that the cosmopolitan political class in London doesn't exactly have the best political instincts and is not the end all be all of who calls the shots for Great Britain.

It's like a wife who doesn't frick her husband's anymore and absolutely believes that there's no possible way another woman could sense her husband's sexual frustration, takes advantage of that, gives him the fricking he needs and pushes the wife out.

In case anyone missed it, Corbyn is confirmed to be stepping down tomorrow.

Also, Lib-Dem Jo Swinson lost her seat. She's basically the reason this election.

Incredible stat: the tories have won 15 seats tonight (so far) that have been labour-held since 1945.

I think Labour has only won one seat tonight held by another party.

Are we going to get some awesome "Media Moments" like we did in 2016?

I believe their media is more liberal than ours.

Which US election should we compare this to?

Reagan 84?

GOP Midterms of 1994?

What?
