The exit pole predicting no overall majority.

Tegan2 Fri 09-Jun-17 02:00:24

What a mess. How much is all this costing, by the way??

Anya Fri 09-Jun-17 02:00:10

Labour take Shipley.

Tim Shipman the Times - difficult to see how either can hold power so there may be a leadership election followed by GE.

Who will take her place?

Tegan2 Fri 09-Jun-17 01:59:44

I hope not....

Maybe no other Tory wanted to appear with her.
Sounds like Nick Clegg might lose his seat, which will be a pity.

It does seem that the SNP has reached its peek

Anya Fri 09-Jun-17 01:57:04

I meant the Angus result.

Anya Fri 09-Jun-17 01:56:36

That's not good!

Ann Widdicomb is the only right of politics on the panel .

1 Conservative
3 Labour.

Angus (next door) from SNP to Tory!!!

Nandalot did you see the link to the old man writing about how the young people should be the waves of change in society. DJ has it.

Paxman is an idiot,- we have legal liabilities- what a prat

Ginny42 Fri 09-Jun-17 01:53:29

I think McDonnell is speaking well on 4.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 01:53:03

The audience is loving what it's hearing

Nandalot Fri 09-Jun-17 01:52:58

Another really cheering thing is the good turnout , especially with the young. It makes one have a bit of hope for democracy. I was posting on another thread recently about feeling cynical about politics, now feeling more positive.

I'd far rather have Labour negotiators going to Brussels.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 01:51:45

I think I'm going to bed folks. I shall leave the radio on so may be back if I don't go to sleep.

Night all and thanks for the good company.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 01:51:05

McDonnell is used to working in Brussels -

nightowl Fri 09-Jun-17 01:50:49

Sorry Tegan I'm over the moon that Anna Soubry has gone, and so is my daughter (who also lives in her constituency). She has been a dreadful constituency MP and had paid the price on local issues as much as anything else - duplicitous, self-serving, and arrogant. If she can lose, maybe there's a glimmer of hope that my conservative MP, of the same ilk, can also lose.

POGS Fri 09-Jun-17 01:50:24

John McDonnell

Stop playing one generation off against the other!

Ye Gods from the Pied Pipers deputy.

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 01:49:47

Yes, I'm awake, whitewave. Not for much longer, probably.

Ginny42 Fri 09-Jun-17 01:49:21

Recount in Perth and N Perthshire. Must be very close.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 01:48:32

She sounded really shocked Jen. I think quite a few of the journalists have done tonight to.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 01:48:26

It's bloody annoying I'm trying to listen to them all

Ginny42 Fri 09-Jun-17 01:48:05

McDonnell on why did the people like Corbyn - what you see is what you get and people want to get back to honest political debate.
