So is Theresa May still trying to pretend this is all ok? What's her "majority" going to be ? Like one seat?

deletebeepbeepbeep posted:For someone who was asking about new MPs Lloyd Russell-Moyle is a proper good lad and would be fully behind Corbyn, they spoke together at a rally in Brighton before the last leadership election (Peter Kyle didn't turn up). I was campaigning with him. He teared up when he was describing just how badly the recently-privatised ambulance servicemen have been treated; he's a genuinely great bloke. Also now the election's over I can say we got no money from Labour HQ because they were throwing everything to our held seats so we didn't get wiped out. If this was the same around the country, then every marginal the group campaign has gained has been entirely down to their local MPs, activists, and local donors. When we kicked this off, we got a speech from our co-ordinator, who said "We haven't got any money. But, let's not get too down. We're socialists. We never have any money. We've got people. And our history is the history of people against money." and it was honestly a sentiment I was so happy to hear coming out of the mouth of a labour official.

Night10194 posted:So, like, does Theresa May get knifed in a closet by the rest of the Tories now? Is that how party leadership shifts work? Probably not until the summer break, unless she can't get a virtually empty Queen's speech approved, in which case Corbyn gets a chance to form something approaching a government (then attempt to call another election and win a majority)

Did Theresa discuss this deal with her MPs before going through with it? I can't help but feel that a lot of them are going to be unhappy about getting into bed with the political arm of the UDA.

Saw this earlier but I just want to say that I feel sorry for Corbyn. I mea, I'm sure he's justifiably proud and happy now, but how must he have felt before this? That one talk show lady basically said "EVERYONE HATES YOU." I'm sure he's used to to BS from right wingers and even Centrists but that's politics. These other media personalities with "polls" constantly saying not just politicians, but every citizen in the country thinks he's a piece of poo poo? i couldn't handle that.

So best case scenario, May is forced into a clumsy and ineffective govt for the next few months before being forced to call an election and is swept away by a thirst for fully automated luxury gay space communism?

Chucat posted:Isn't Tory infighting the most beautiful thing ever when it actually happens though? Often it's over far too quickly, though. D'you remember when Cameron resigned and May became leader? That should have been a painful, grinding, long-drawn out civil war between the Leave and Remain arms of the party, but instead they had a new poo poo in place in about a week of behind-closed-doors infighting that Labour could only dream of. (Though Osborne's been running a blinder since he gained a newspaper to spout his propaganda from)

Is Ruth Davidson seriously being touted as next Tory leader? I'd be up for it, just to see the looks on the DUP's faces when she brings her girlfriend/wife across the pond for a cuppa. She's a loving arse though, in all seriousness.

Pretty much. Then progressive coalition pushes through proportional representation Another possible upside of this result: Tories probably won't get their boundary changes that are definitely not gerrymandering through

In Broxtowe we managed a 7% swing to Labour and only missed out knocking off Anna Soubry by about 650 votes. Up until the last week of the election we were getting messages telling us to go campaign in the 3 Nottingham seats which ended up with 5 digit majorities and were never labelled a key seat. The next election is going to be very interesting.
