They need to get a hold of Dorries. Behaving like a very pissed aunt at a wedding not letting others speak.

She’s a fucking idiot. That ridiculous interview she gave defending Boris Johnson where she seemed pissed up was absolutely cringeworthy.

Refreshing honesty from Robert Buckland.  Generational issue, long road back, etc - essentially, the Tories are fucked.

Poll showed that only 2% of Under 25s will vote Tory. Only going to get worse for them as the kids are very unlikely to turn Tory later given what they have seen and largely been fucked at expense of pensioners

Hadn't seen that. Damning. My youngest scored -21 for the Tories on that who to vote for thingy, and her fella -26. The youngsters fucking hate them.

They're under 25, they've got no money, it's always been a bit like that. They'll have a rethink, try and forge a new identity and probably get through two more leaders before the next GE. Basically they'll be a bit like Liverpool, post Klopp. I'd say we're set for two terms of Labour, unless they do something disasterous, but after that a lot could have changed in ten years.

Just watched Daisy Cooper on BBC and sadly just echoes the whole joke of Ed Davey, the joke party.

Wes Streeting on now, I think he’s a contender for the next Labour leader. Very good on telly, let’s see what’s he’s like at his new job.

Rupert Lowe projected to be voted in as MP for Great Yarmouth

So he will spend the next 5 years sitting on his arse, with no effective power, banking his MP's salary without having to do anything.

Best appearance of the night. Respect to Robert Buckland. Pity he is losing his seat probably as one of few decent remaining ones post-2019. Peston’s dry remark afterwards that Buckland was shown to be losing his seat based on the exit poll was uncalled for and arrogant. Fair enough if he aimed it at most of the pricks in that party tonight. In a political world with Trump et al someone losing with grace and class should be recognised. 

Dorries - who seems well refreshed yet again - Kwarteng, Leadsom, JRM, by contrast wherever the Tory Brexiteers appear, they are deluded, lacking any self-reflection, remorse or reality about how badly they’ve fucked up this country. Cunts, that right wing, especially the ERG, one and all.

Reform’s early showings mean 131 is on the optimistic side for the Tories. Rupert Lowe, MP, that will be strange as Saints fans to see! Will Yarmouth get an Ask Rupert email address?

Finally, will be thrilled if the Lib Dem’s get 60 odd seats.

4th safest SNP seat gone in a massive swing of 22%. Exit poll had them at a very low 10 seats.

Wales hinted at having a Conservative wipeout.

Edit: Salmond on the radio. SNP needed to do 2 things. Show competence in government and progress independence. They've a terrible record of governance and didn't even campaign on independence.

West instead leader in trouble. He was part of Yousef going, and no shortage of his Shortbread Based party putting the boot in.

Schapps (who was mentioned as going for leader had he won) and Chalk gone.

Radio studio discussing implications of religious/ cultural blocks securing seats/ shaping party politics.

Elsewhere, Braverman stays.

Expand  

That kind of cultural shift was not really discussed this election. 
 

Braverman and Duncan-Smith win.
