I dunno, I think the Europeans are more likely to take a more reasonable approach once we drop this whole "Give us what we want or we'll become a tax haven" bilge. I'd much rather have the likes of Starmer, Gardiner and Thornberry than Davis, Boris and that clown Fox.

If Labour do pull off an unexpected victory, and get into power, and the Conservatives are left in tatters, will the Leave vote still be seen as a bad idea? Bearing in mind none of this would have been possible without it and the whole country would still be sat around wanting to stick forks in Cameron and Osborne's eyes.

Oh Mrs May, what have you done, everything has turned to s***

Morning all. Welcome to the banana republic.

All down to Mrs May.

You are one hundred percent correct.

It would seem not.

Agreed - you have to give credit where it is due Corbyn engaged with younger people and he got them out to vote. The turnouts were extraordinary. He fought a brilliant campaign and you have to applaud his integrity.



Despite the worst campaign in living memory the Tories still won the popular vote and have c60 more seats than the Labour - imagine what the result would have been if say Boris or Hammond had fronted it rather than the wet fish that did!! Labour are only in the position they were in 2010 - so no great shakes really.

Even letting Boris, Hammond, Hunt etc contribute, with her at the helm promoting the Tory party policies rather than her running a singular presidential campaign. Shambolic.



Soft Brexit, No Jock independence and a soft border in NI all in 24 hours. Maybe not all bad

I'd take that.

Agreed and you will see an increase in public spending - so again not all bad and the tax reductions to the high earners will disappear too

New Tory leader, coming soon ?



The main issue now will be what effect running a coalition/minority government will have on our Brexit negotiations and if/when there will be another election (neither party can run a meaningful government for any length of time with the numbers as they are) and what further effect this will have on Brexit.

No deal is looking somewhat more likely.

Do it all again in September??

And I see that the wonderful Mr. Farage is wanting back in to the fold....oh joy!

Soft Brexit? With Jacob Rees Mogg and the DUP holding the balance of power, I wouldn't bank on it.



May was trying to sideline the nuttier elements of her own Party as well as deliver an electoral smackdown to Labour. zero from two on that.

tories still had the most votes, most seat, another 5 years in power





didnt quite go as well as they expected mind!

mrs may speaking outside Downing Street, never mentioned the disastrous election result. Very strange indeed, now forming a government with the dup. All well and good for her, but she needs to be more concerned with getting support from her back benches. She is obviously toxic now to the tories. Unlikely but one never knows ,would be Gerry Adams and his buddies taking seats in parliament. As they are pals with jezza and hate the dup ,if this occurs then the tories are finished.

May sucking up to more terrorists. Who'd have thunk it.

And the buzz word for this stretch of her leadership is... 'certainty'.

Laughable really. I imagine she'll be gone before the year is out. It's a certainty she won't be leading the Tories into the next election.

Yes, they may have most seats but, T. May is now a lame duck, all credibility gone and if her plan was to strengthen her bargaining position with the EU, it has backfired spectacularly.

The movers and shakers in the EU are laughing at her as well as the UK and with the disruption of another election, right in the middle of EU negotiations, who know's where we will end up.

If it wasn't such a shambles and important to all of our futures, it would be utterly hilarious.

If they make another 5 years, without another election, I'll show my

on Huddersfield town hall steps.



Loving your understatement at the end of your post.

business as usual for may!



what a pointless election if there ever was one

To be fair to her she did warn us of the possibility of terrorist sympathisers being in Government if she didn't get enough votes.

The tory party will have her ousted by the end of the year.
