Well I didn’t see that coming.
We are now about to see the breakup of the United Kingdom. Watch closely folks this is over 200 years of history being destroyed.
Delighted to see Corbyn get a bloody nose, but really sad about what it inevitably means for my country.

Yep no way Northern Ireland stick around after this in my opinion (which will actually make Brexit easier to be fair, minus the inevitable violence), and with Scotland being a remain country, I think it's only fair to give them another shot at independence.

The pound and shares have surged after the Conservatives won a clear majority in the UK general election.

Sterling gained 2.1% to $1.34 - its highest level since May last year - on hopes that the big majority would remove uncertainty over Brexit.

The pound also jumped to a three-and-a-half-year high against the euro.

On the stock market, the FTSE 100 share index rose 1%, while the FTSE 250 - which includes more UK-focused shares - leapt 4% in early trade.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the election result meant that the Conservative government "has been given a powerful new mandate, to get Brexit done".

Mr Johnson has pledged to take the UK out of the European Union by 31 January.

Politically sensitive shares saw sharp rises in early trading on UK markets.

Shares in water companies such as Severn Trent, which faced the possibility of nationalisation under a Labour government, shot up 10%, while UK housebuilders also saw big gains with a massive 14% rise for Persimmon.

Shares in Barclays, RBS and Lloyds were up 7% and 12% and 15% respectively.
 
CORBYN QUITS. Brilliant – but God knows who the hopeless, out of touch Labour Party will put in his place...

Today is a good day for democracy and the divide was much bigger than at the referendum. So much for people changing there mind if given another referendum!!

Currency going up was always going to happen in a majority situation. It doesn't necessarily mean endorsement, it just means more certainty. Which, in the short-term, we definitely need, however it may look/
 
What a brilliant day, the shackles are off, Corbyn and his motley crew gone, the remainers reduced to to a non entity, Farage gone, Libby,Libby, Liberals gone, EU will soon be gone, SNP under control but still screaming and getting their kilts in a twist.

Boris Johnson will now get Brexit Done and the majority will take back control after 3 plus years, like I said what a brilliant day, all remoaners welcome to join us and all look forward to a glorious future together.
 
"the remainers reduced to to a non entity"

Remain/Second Referendum vote was still higher than the Brexit vote even in this election wiz. They're still a voice. But Brexit won, now the Tories have won, and it's time to accept it.

We should all just get on with the new reality and seek a better future for all of us to enjoy, we now have the opportunity to develop a new relationship with the whole world including the EU.

What an exciting prospect.

I disagree with the 'exciting' bit of it of course, but you're right. For me it's mentally shifted from fighting against what I thought would be a bad thing, to now just accepting it and trying to make the most of it.

Johnson has his majority now. He has no excuses. He could be brilliant here and go down in history, or balls it up completely, either way, it's his to own now.
 
I can’t stand Corbyn or BJ so whatever the outcome I was prepared to be miserable because one of those twats had to win.
I AM pleased that at least bills will start going through parliament at last.
My own personal worry now is the breakup of the UK - more concerning than Brexit imho.

You can't stand BJ? I love a good BJ <whistle>
