    I bet there’s a substantial shift away from labour in our area.

    Correct

    However, if the exit poll is correct, Jeremy Corbyn’s election performance will be the worst by a Labour leader for more than 40 years. He will have done worse than:
    Tony Blair in 1997 - 418
    Tony Blair in 2001 - 412
    Tony Blair in 2005 - 355
    Neil Kinnock in 1992 - 271
    James Callaghan in 1979 - 269
    Jeremy Corbyn in 2017 - 262
    Gordon Brown in 2010 - 258
    Ed Miliband in 2015 - 232
    Neil Kinnock in 1987 - 229
    Michael Foot in 1983 - 209
    In fact, it would be the worst result for Labour since 1935, when the party got just 154 under Clement Attlee, who has only just taken over as party leader.

    You probably didn't take into consideration Labour's own goal of appointing the tramp as their leader :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Labour would/should have walked this with an electable leader. I hope that he goes, we need a strong, reliable opposition that offers a genuine alternative.

    As I mentioned before, if the unions hadn't cocked up, David Milliband would have been P.M. now (and the word 'Brexit' would not be in existence) :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Well if the Exit Polls are right, Bonko has won.

    Those Labour MPs from leave voting constituencies who blocked T May's Brexit deal have helped put Bonko in again

    Would have been better off in a Wartburg. They were faster.

    I'm wondering how many voters they'll lose to the double whammy of people like me who have always voted labour but I don't want/trust Corbyn and I voted leave. Was looking at last elections numbers for Darlington, where I am and Jenny Chapman beat the Tory lad by 3,280 votes. 52% voted to leave in the referendum so it would only take a few thousand traditional Labour voters to go for the one hit wonders The Brexiteering Party for the Tories to get in. I'm thinking there's a good chance that could happen.
