The exit pole predicting no overall majority.

They said in a revised exit poll Tories 321 but they need 326.

If Labour have won in Shipley, that is wonderful news (my DD2's constituency and they will be so glad to see the back of Davies). smile

Jack Dromey back; good, as it was thought he might lose his seat.

Ginny42 Fri 09-Jun-17 02:34:05

Sorry 322.

E. Dunbartonshire back to Libdem. S. Perthshire goes Tory and 2nd recount in N Perthshire.

Sorry to see Clegg go.

Ginny42 Fri 09-Jun-17 02:48:19

Boris returned.

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 02:48:26

Nick Clegg lost as well, whichis a shame, as he would beneeded for Brexit.

Tegan2 Fri 09-Jun-17 02:48:29

I know; but I really liked Nick Clegg.

Tegan2 Fri 09-Jun-17 02:49:22

Yes; his experience with regards the EU would have been invaluable....

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 02:49:58

Can we swap Nick for Boris?

mcem Fri 09-Jun-17 02:51:40

Not too surprised at swing away from SNP but am surprised that so many constituencies have gone to Tories.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 02:51:54

Perhaps he could be consulted

Tegan2 Fri 09-Jun-17 02:51:56

When is Boris's sisters result due?

Ginny42 Fri 09-Jun-17 02:52:00

I know he was tired, but the young man who won in Sheffield Hallam didn't speak well.

Tegan2 Fri 09-Jun-17 02:53:39

I think Nicola Sturgeon should have concentrated more on wanting a soft brexit instead of wanting another referendum.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 02:53:46

Nick Clegg - polarised country. Huge gulf between old and young. Divisions are profound

Ginny42 Fri 09-Jun-17 02:56:32

Clegg very gracious in defeat.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 03:03:34

May won't be able to do a thing with a zero majority.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 03:03:46

Corbyn on

Ginny42 Fri 09-Jun-17 03:03:48

DUP and Tories combined will be a majority.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 03:05:23

gin yes but her majority is so small she won't be able to do anything
