Basically the UK had the opposite election we did.

Yeah, the US had an election where a brittle, inaccessible, stage-managed female establishment politician campaigned(poorly) on the status quo and a vague notion of her greater competence or toughness, while the man who ran against her did so as an unconventional political outsider with economically populist promises who was going to shake things up. Also she ran a campaign dependent on her ability to peel off marginal voters of the other party, which failed spectacularly.

Worth noting that for all the 'Tory Scotland' schadenfreude they won only 20% of seats in Scotland compared to 51% of seats in the rest of the UK.

If you want to talk about the knives coming out, Jezza and the rest of Labour are going to have long ones out for Scottish Labour, who in some cases told people to outright vote Conservative rather than support SNP or Labour as a whole. The lack of a Corbyn Coalition is entirely on them.

Corbyn is the unassailable leader of the left wing Labour party. Hung parliament off a loving unbelievable swing from the Cons. PM is dead. Brexit is in critical condition. A barrage of Farage looms on the horizon.

This is my kind of loving chaos.

OK, leaving the iraq war aside: is it fair to say that the UK today is a financial services depot and not much else, a land of zero hour contracts and privatized everything and New Labour was just as complicit as the tories?

Blair obviously didn't implement the worst of it, and it was a rough time for socialism basically everywhere in the world. Maybe it's easier to move toward a different future now by burying the compromised leaders of the past (especially when they're vocally unhelpful and unremorseful, as Blair seems to be), but if left parties didn't adapt to that time period, they didn't win, and while the difference may not have been as stark then as it is now, there was always a difference between the parties. I guess I'm just someone who'd rather celebrate a bad win than a good defeat.

But that's the thing, they didn't - it looks like only about half of the UKIP voters went Tory. That's looking like a huge part of why things have ended up the way they have, and not the thumping 100-MP majority Theresa May dreamed of.

Right I'm off to bed everyone, enjoy the day!
