Ugh! I was reading the latest Dr Moderate polling thread on Twitter and spotted a Wild Pissflaps in the replies. On the plus side, DM's predictions were: Lab minority govt: 45% Hung: 40% Con majority: 10% Lab majority: 5% Downer that an overall Lab majority has such low odds, but I'll still take what's there. (And of course: Polls Mean Nothing.)

Two more for Labour in Bournemouth West. Safe Tory seat, but the polling station, while hardly buzzing, was the busiest I've ever seen it and everyone who came in was young. So, y'know, tiny glimmers of hope that oil industry lackey Conor Burns will be kicked out... Wishing for a red dawn tomorrow.

Jesus Christ. Went to let the dogs out, came back to find the exit polls were way worse than I'd even imagined possible. If they're anything even approaching accurate, then this country is permanently hosed. Brexit will happen with No Deal almost certain by the end of 2020. Johnson and his cronies will get to do every other horrible thing they want. And don't forget that the boundary redrawing reducing the number of MPs to 600 that got shelved under Cameron is all but certain to go ahead, and eliminate far more Labour seats than Tory. Meanwhile, Thatcher laughs from her grave.
