Election night 2019 / aftermath

BTW, fishies, this is the non-Dawkinsian Trek slap meme you're looking for.

It's also an image of any person earning less than 150k UKP voting Tory.

FWIW, which might not be much.

Tory insiders are telling me Boris Johnson could “genuinely be in trouble in #UxbridgeAndSouthRuislip”. Exit pollsters think the Lib Dem vote has collapsed there probably due to tactical voting for Labour.

You're one of Diane's German fans? I think I've seen your work...

Done the deed. Small village, only one other voter in the building (apart from Mrs J).
Had to go for the tactical option, rather than my original plan.
Hoping (somehow) for some sort of 'mess' that may lead to Ref 2, but my conscience is clear.

Forgive my ignorance...what happens when a PM loses his seat? Not to the PM, I mean the party.

Isn’t this the sort of thing that Laura Wotsit was being pilloried for yesterday? Nothing like motivating the Tory faithful to get out and vote for the steatopygous git in the last few hours, I suppose.

@rich Usually he resigns. But probably not Boris. Constitutionally, the party leader does not have to be an MP. I’m guessing there’d be a very hasty by-election.

They all have to walk the plank off Westminster Bridge. Holding a breeze block. Wearing lead boots.

He will shrug then smirk and possibly giggle, then he has to go to his local jobcentre and sign on.

I think another minor Tory MP has to fall on his sword and they parachute Johnson into the vacant seat

Ooh, now that would be a consolation prize worth having (so long as the Tories don't plump for PM Mogg or Francois instead).

The Lib Dem and Green stragglers would be enough to see him off. The last polls suggested it's very tight.

Difference being Laura is the chief political editor of the BBC and is meant to show impartiality.

with zero credibility...has it ever happened?

 

[Nero]

Doesn't he already have zero credibility?

...or they could give him a quick peerage?

I don’t know who Laura Jayes is, and I don’t understand Twitter, but it looks to me at first glance as if she is a Sky reporter. May be wrong of course. If she is, shouldn’t she be bound by the rules too?

If I were a Labour activist I’d be furious.

Zero credibility? When did he ever have any?

No that was related to looking information at actual postal votes which is specifically illegal.

 

[Alex S]

Okay, is it worth staying up?
