Unless he gets old and sick. Then he'll have to spend his inheritance on health and social care because the government won't provide it.

But I thought the older generation were voting Conservative. I thought it was the youth voting Labour.

I remember the anagram of Tony Blair MP..

Looking at the results so far it looks like the key was the Brexit party pulling out of Conservative constituencies. Conservative probably would have won both Sunderland seats had the Brexit party not stood.

He won elections. The current Labour shower never will again.

Yes on lies, he’s a disgrace. Interfering and has blood on his hands. IMO the ppl will get fed up of governments and demand change. It’s up to the opposition to try and put someone in place to challenge by representing the constituents. This is a bloody nose for Labour, who in their right mind would have voted for Corbyn, Mcdonell or Abbott  

[Regal Beagle]

Snell just conceded defeat and blames Corbyn, McDonnell and the london based remainers, high up in the labour party for getting their brexit policy wrong.

 

 

[philpvfc]

They can blame Brexit but that is only part of the reason. Corbyn is a tosser had the Labour Party had a good leader who wasn’t as far left they would have stood a very good chance.

[Playa Amodores]

Labour need to comeback and represent those people who go to work earning £8.71 to £15 an hour, and hitting companies fir corporation tax, Costa,Starbucks,Google,Amazon and Facebook to name a few. With a realistic manifesto that stays within the realms of reality. 
I’d suggest that their new leader isn’t any of the following, Starmer,Long Bailey or Rayner. Perhaps Hilary Benn, even though he’s declined to be the party leader. Comes over as very sensible, genuine and articulate person.

My neighbour is a member of the Labour Party but refuses to vote for them because of Corbyn. He’ll be a happy person if the forecasts are accurate.

You should ask your neighbour why he joined a socialist party but is now delighted that the conservatives will be trampling over the lives of poor people.

Doesn’t like Corbyn. 

[bobvale]

A party is much more then its leader. I don't really like Corbyn but I certainly wouldn't celebrate a massive conservative win, especially when you know how it will impact on people like the homeless and those that are poor, and the environmant. With all respect, I think your neighbour is a bit of a clown mate.

He’s just my neighbour, quite a nice bloke actually, he’s certainly not Tory. Whilst I agree with you it’s the party, but when you don’t agree with the policies been pedalled by the leader then I suppose it’s up to him. He pays his subscriptions and I’ve no doubt he’ll now be thinking, it’s time to rebuild and to appoint someone whose voter friendly.

You're right for once. It will be billions.

That's a freaking disaster, although it's been a personal advantage to me because of the £ )

Labour are being absolutely slaughtered and lose a leader (not surprisingly) but will also have to consider it's direction.

Lib dems have lost a leader and a number of ship jumping high profile MPs and have gained begger all really.

SNP are looking good but with nowhere to go without the Tories.

Tories look like having a huge majority which is as scary as it comes, expect a big reshuffle, and Boris will have a mandate to do what it wants when it wants how it wants..... that's disastrous.

Of course everyone who lost, except Labour, seem to have won in some unimportant way.

I hope Labour change quickly and drastically, party switching MPs have to seek re-election when they switch, the SNP think carefully about the costs and consiquences of spliting the union..... but most importantly I hope the Tories don't go ape crap crazy.
