    It has been the worst orchestrated campaign by the party in power in living memory

    Because we acknowledge the French influence on our language and don't struggle to spell words whose spelling includes French forms. You had Noah Webster and his weird hang-ups to make your spelling simpler for you, thus suggesting he didn't rate his countrymen's intelligence all that highly.

    Another minute silence in the office today.

    I think it should be started and ended with a refs whistle.

    Neil Kinnock is the PM!

    Though the polls were wrong about Brexit.

    Well there hasn't been a campaign - that's the problem. May has been so obsessed with it being seen as her victory that she's basically gagged the rest of the cabinet. Boris - who, whatever you think about him is the most effective cross-party vote-winners in UK politics - is only just being allowed out now.

    To be fair, the polls on Brexit for the most part were well within the margin for error.

    It looks as though the idea was to say and do as little as possible and wait for Corbyn and Abbott to stick their feet in their gobs, but then they managed to publish the worst manifesto evs.

    Very depressing.

    The manifesto was and is appalling. It basically stuck two fingers up to traditional tory voters and did nothing to win over any floating voters. It was hubristic in the extreme. For the first time in living memory, a sitting tory party has run an election without basing their campaign on being the best custodians of the economy. 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.

    I would imagine she has damaged her standing in the party, while probably winning an election quite comfortably. That's some achievement.
