Gentlemen, though Labour won't get a majority, at least it looks like we've achieved the revolutionary dream: to hang parliament.

How much better could Labour had done if the Blairites hadn't pulled two leadership challenges and kept Corbyn fighting them rather than the Tories.

At least this election looks to put to rest their claims that he's unelectable and the party needs anyone but him leading.

Weren't they planning on announcing a new challenge like... Nowish?

We've been going where they've sent us so all around really, this afternoon we both did Arnos Grove, then I did lifts for people that needed help getting to the polling station so all over and he did Arnos Grove tube scooping up the people coming home from work.

Apparently there were 300 activists working out of that little house today, incredible stuff.

Ah, nearer Palmers Green, so probably not. Burrowes probably won't lost it, but his majority should be heavily eroded.

Also, family just got in from working all day at polling station - turnout up quite heavily apparently.

Newcastle swung Labout but exit poll said it should have swung more, so exit poll may be off and Conservatives may get more seats then estimated like 2015

After all, the Sinn Fein parts of NI voted to remain, it would be in their best interests this time.

Corbyn has previously indicated he supported a United Ireland. Perhaps they could throw behind their support in exchange for the North.
