Seriously where did all this upswell of Labour support come from all of a sudden? Was May's misstep of suspending rights really that much of an impact? Because if that happened in America we would be like, welp, as long as abortion is made illegal or minorities are deported you got my vote...

BBC incredulously saying you'd expect Labour to take this if they were winning the election.

I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw it. Absolutely fantastic, this area has been Tory for many years, aside from the Blair years.

Read a story on Twitter about some activists that contacted her last minute for an event and she said she would come but only for a shot while as she had other appointments

Stayed the whole day and had to run for a taxi at the end.

The activists only found out through the papers that the appointment she had to keep was her own wedding.

For all the poo poo she gets she's a hell of a woman.

Bloody hell, yeah that's above and beyond

Hopefully these youth voters inspired by Corbyn will now form the base of Labour support in the future.

That would be pretty loving awesome. Corbyn has single-handedly, and against great opposition, reversed two decades of declining Labour fortunes.

I think part of it might be the "disruptive bastard" vote. That's what swung Brexit - if you give people a choice between "More of the same please" and "Shake things up a lot" there's a non-zero number of people who'll go for the latter.

But more seriously, just look at the campaigns, and the manifestos. There was NOTHING to get excited about in Theresa May's manifesto, and a shitload of good stuff in Jeremy Corbyn's. And his party stopped campaigning against him for two months.

May was pure, pure shite in every single respect, and the Tory manifesto was the most spiteful suicide note in history.

I'm American but I think the kippies (to the extent that they swung to Labour) were swayed by the focus on policing cuts + bullshit arms deals with the Gulf states. Those are real issues that also speak "their language," I'd guess they're responsible for more votes than anyone would know
