Um, I know Burney has assured us that everything is ok, but

The suggestion this time is that May hasn't wanted to do that on the basis that saying the economy is doing well would be to give credit to Cameron and Osbourne.

Basically, Theresa has not impressed at this election. She's been shown to be more interested in her status than that of the party. That won't be forgotten or forgiven.

This should have been the opportunity to destroy the socialists, to make them electorally irrelevant.

May is simply not up to it.

Oh for a Wee Lord Willie to take over!

To be fair, being a good campaigner doesn't make you a good Prime Minister or vice versa. She's likely to be a one-issue PM and that issue will be Brexit. Once that's done, it'll be all change.

Besides, one side effect of this vote being less than a massacre may well be that Corbyn remains in charge of the Labour Party. Long term, that may actually be the worst possible thing for them.

These days it's impossible for anyone to accurately predict these votes....it's a recent development...like in the last 3 years.

All I've seen is one upset after another.

Even our last election was an upset because the sizeable losses Labour took which no one predicted.

If someone is predicting the tories are one clear then they're most likely miles clear of Labour

Ahem. I predicted a tory majority in 2015. Jorge kept telling me it was a mathematical impossibility. I said people wouldn't vote for Miliband. I was right.

Ah dear Jorge. One of many people I've had to mute on Twitter until at least this time next week. Sheer volume of tweets was doing my head in let alone the content

Lol Burney...I was referring to the usual media outlets and companies who do these predictions before hand.

Yes. I'd have thought the fact that Corbyn appears to have attracted j back to the Labour party is surely reason enough not to vote for them? After all, lest we forget, amid all the Jaguar-driving hipster stuff, j does actually claim to be a revolutionary Marxist.
