The exit pole predicting no overall majority.

Like the term 'youthquake' which may be responsible for Labour success. Just said Tories are worried about all London seats.

We had to queue and every poll station we passed was the same

Ever Jen - not in the rest of history - they were crucified by them!

Amber Rudd's count soon.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 01:14:33

So we've engulfed ourselves in this self inflicted wound which is Brexit, and now this shambles of an election.
ITV comment

Almost 80% turnout in Twickenham and Richmond.
Hope that bodes well for Cable.
Not for Goldsmith.

Quote of the night - "Wouldn't put my head into a cowpat twice."
Why would you do it once?

High turnouts being reported. Our local paper reporting the highest turnout for 10 years.

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 01:11:29

Libdems say they can't see themselves supporting a Tory administration.
I should bloody well hope not!

Miller is talking about 2.5million registering to vote.

We are definately looking at all change I think in Brexit.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 01:07:18

I'm still here too whitewave but I don't know for how long. Just daren't go at the moment.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 01:06:51

grin oh Tegan that is soooooooo funny.

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 01:06:39

I thought you were going to say they were going to stop printing!

Tegan2 Fri 09-Jun-17 01:05:32

just read on facebook...if the exit poll is correct Daily Mail headline will be that 'the people are the enemy of the people'

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 01:02:44

London looking good for Labour

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 01:01:59

Silly woman just said that there was two elections going on - one was Brexit -she must be joking it was never bloody mentioned the other was austerity - well that is right and that imo is what did forvMay.

I fear that the Conservatives are going to get an overall majority. But what a mess British politics and this country is in. And it's all a result of Conservative leaders trying to hold on to power for whatever reason. As someone has just said on another forum; couldn't we get another country to govern us; Canada for example?

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 00:59:43

Oh good I began to think I was the only one up

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 00:59:11

It was on channel 4 , just on the strip of subtitles.
Jenny Chapman won Darlington. Tories expected to take that one.
Hurray!

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 00:58:52

You realise that we may have the young to count for this

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 00:50:47

Osborne on ITV smirking.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 00:50:23

Which channel Jen?

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 00:48:52

Just seen that Murdoch stormed out of the Times election party.

Good things do happen.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 00:44:21

Interesting. Tories went after poorer voters, Labour went after better education. Talk about ass about face!!

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 00:38:01

It doesn't look good for the Brexit negotiations whitewave but a delay and rethink about how they are going to go about it may be a good thing.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 00:37:08

May be a recount in Rudds constituency
