If Labour want these seats back, they need to unanimously come out in support of Brexit tomorrow morning.
Nope. Allow the majority Tories to Brexit then crucify empty-handed Tory MPs in places like Blyth Valley. Then campaign to rejoin or whatever. Probably too late to save half the union!
This result has killed Rejoin for a decade.
Rejoin will never transpire as a thing. Once we Brexit, that'll be it.

Same way the UK was totally content with the EU after 1975.

yes, but there will be a slow and steady drift back to the EU with future deals
Was told earlier The Beast of Bolsover was ahead but if Exit Poll correct that was clearly wrong.
PB Tories enjoy the next few hours
Those that don't remember the past are doomed to repeat it.
Foot 1983 Corbyn 2019
Corbyn is much, much, much worse than Foot was. No-one would have ever accused Foot of being an anti-Semitic terrorist sympathiser or anything remotely similar, and he was on the right side in vehemently opposing appeasement and Soviet repression in Eastern Europe.
I agree. Michael Foot, for all his left-wingery, was a decent, well-meaning man who would have abhorred some of the rhetoric of some current Labour figures.
Michael Foot was a great man. His contributions to freedom during the Second World War are particularly noteworthy.
North East CON gains to come: - Darlington nailed on - Bishop Auckland nailed on squared - Stockton S - nailed on - Durham NW probably - Stockton N, Sedgefield unlikely

Next to Foot, Corbyn is a malevolent pygmy.
Another interesting point: Foot was one of the authors of the infamous "Guilty Men".
Now imagine Corbyn coming up with an argument that appeasement was wrong.

Foot was a disaster as leader, but he was a highly intelligent man, and I believe an honourable one.

Peston: Big Trade Union leaders will decide Lab future.
Labour need to break the union link completely.
You are quite wrong on that. The Unions get a bad press and are fundamentally misunderstood by Tories. They provide not only a ton of cash, but a legion of stoical, hard working pragmatic members.

Same way the UK was totally content with the EU after 1975.
In 1975 Conservatives campaigned pro-Common Market, Labour campaigned against.
Douglas Alexander, former Brownite MP: comfortably the worst defeat for the Labour Party since 1935. Jeremy Corbyn owns the defeat.
Alexander has “lost count of the number of voters who have told him that they cannot vote Labour because of Jeremy Corbyn.” He says that Momentum will blame Brexit, but the truth is that it was Corbyn.

But they are controlled by a political hard left which work sometimes against their own members. Until that gets reformed, then the power will remain with those dinosaurs
California and New York vote Democrats. Arkansas and W.Virginia vote Republicans.
But that wasn't always so.
California and NY voted Republican in the very recent past, whil Arkansas and W Virginia voted Democrat. (And, indeed, one of WV's Senators is a Democrat.)

Half-right, but entirely irrelevant. Maybe it will reverse next time again. Maybe it will never happen. Maybe Blyth Valley will not vote Conservative again after Brexit is done and Corbyn is ditched, actually, I find that one more likely than the others.

The transformation is the same and in the same direction.

Arkansas and W.Virginia vote Republicans.
Either you support labour or you support tories with first past the post system.

Sunderland C good for CON. 7% swing. Swing will be less in Cities especially London!
Next to Foot, Corbyn is a malevolent pygmy.
Others?
You either join the Tory party or join the Labour Party while we continue to have first past the post system.
EVERY LIBERAL DEMOCRAT HAS BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS
Just an opinion, not certain knowledge obviously, but...
- Darlington nailed on
- Bishop Auckland nailed on squared
- Stockton S - nailed on
- Durham NW probably
- Stockton N, Sedgefield unlikely

Utter idiots.
Corbyn is a disgrace to this country.
Dominoes fall?
I think I just let out a little bit of wee.
North Down Will Be IMMENSELY Close Between Alex Easton (D.U.P) & Stephen Farry (Alliance Party).
Alexander has “lost count of the number of voters who have told him that they cannot vote Labour because of Jeremy Corbyn.” He says that Momentum will blame Brexit, but the truth is that it was Corbyn.
Next General Election must require ID cards after this.
Swingometer gives a majority of 116.

And she refused to stand down Liberal Democrat’s in labour seats. Jo Swinson career has been to deliver the tories result after result.
We have a broken country because the Liberal Democrat’s won’t back down. The party is a disgrace.
