Yeah unfortunately the press and social media is run by the right. The press are always going to find something to criticise about any Labour immigration policy that isn't completely shutting down the borders. Unfortunately with the number the press and the right wing has done on the British public, any idea of Labour governing for more than a term in the next couple of decades seems pretty unlikely.I'm worried it will always be a tough sell though. You can barely say the word immigration without a wave of people saying to kick them out or kill them all. Our country has really extreme views on that particular topic. But I'm also worried that Tories have found their golden ticket between the media, social media, and an endless fountain of lies with no accountability.
Chuka has his name down for the 1st by election.
Did I imagine it or did lord buckethead give binface the finger
Seeing as Jo Swinson couldn't even win her seat, let alone lead the party to 100+ seats or whatever they were projecting, that narrative is effectively dead.
Swinson being out may be the only good thing to happen this evening.
End of the union.I guess the British people have spoken. They want Brexit. How are y'all feeling UK Era?
That is rough, but a leader shouldn't be this close win or loss.
Economist live model has been Cons 364, Labour 203 for a while nowForecast changed again, Labour back down to 196. Tories on 365, a majority of 80.

We're just going to have to wait for automation to make everyone jobless.
Nor am I. I feel a this country has an appetite for a socialist government. I just want Labour to be a little more creative with their immigration manifesto so they actually have a chance of governing as one.
O flower of ScotlandAyr, Carrick and Cumnock gain for SNP from Tories.

Swinson defeat will be the only satisfaction I gather from tonight.
Chuka is gone too!Swinson defeat will be the only satisfaction I gather from tonight.
Not worth your time scum like that. Fuck em.I wrote on twitter "The English tonight: Fuck the disabled people as long as Brexit happens!" after seeing some people say they voted for the Tories PURELY because of Brexit, even if they have never voted for them before or have always been labour voters
Someone replied straight away "Sorry for your mental disability"
I told him to fuck off and blocked him.
urgh.
There will be no such thing as a media darling Labour leader... how do people not get this?Indeed, despite the dire result, the policies labour had had very good ratings across the board, it was when you added that it was Labour's, and then corbyns labour did the ratings sink.
After a clean out top to bottom and a rethink of the Labour Party, they need to keep the underpinning socialist polices that people love and wrap it around a ruthless, effective pin sharp leadership and a media darling leader. Then win elections and push thier agenda low key like. They played nice and got nowhere.
Also, fuck Swinson.
Ian Murray won iircLabour lost 5 Scottish seats so far and don't have a single seat.
Ok, that's hilarious too.
British doubling down on stupidity I see.
Had their chance. Their fate is theirs to own now. Hope they like it.
