Feeling a bit sorry for Amber Rudd tbh. Even if she is/was a terrible Home Secretary and all round Tory poo poo.

wait, is labor actually getting an outright majority?!?!?!?

Nah but remember the Tories wanted a 100+ seat majority, anything less than that is a Corbyn vindication.

A 20 point swing towards the Tories in Scotland. Their best performance all night.

The Tories are going to have more Scottish MPs than Labour.

I don't follow UK politics much but, uh, this seems like a low percentage play.

British people are a bit hosed in the head if you haven't noticed by now.

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...

I think that there's an untapped voterbase of people who want things to get better, not worse. Corbyn spoke to those people

I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that people don't trust polls as much as they used to. For some reason.

The vote shares the BBC has are just ridiculous.

Nationally LAB 41%, CON 40%

Scotland LAB 29%, CON 26%

I know these will likely change as the night develops, but the polls were well off.
