I'm dreading the UK going forward, but I'm also buzzing Scotland is rejecting the Tories.
I need sleep but I also feel anxiety.

Yeah. Much respect for Scotland now too. Didn't pay much attention to them before, but they seem the sanest ones left.
Let's just focus on what a great night it's been for Scotland's representation, and hope they can free themselves from the racist, xenophobic, corrupt, dangerously right wing leadership in westminster.
Honestly as a disabled person, I am genuinely terrified of the future. We've voted in a party who said disabled people should earn less because they don't understand money. And that's on top of the punitive health assessments and doing their damnedest it feels like to kill off the disabled.
Fuck...
Fuck...
Hope's nice, but Boris can prevent that by literally doing nothing.
Time is a flat circle, voting for the same people who led thier demise in the 80s, just 30 years later.
In the time the world has before climate change really hits, I'm going to class England and Wales as a write off.
If its any remorse, the debt is finally decreasing so I think the worst of their cuts are over. I guess the problem is that you need so much more support and these tories will never give you any.
Local elections over the next 5 years are going to be more important than ever.
I'm pretty certain that's their goal, the poor too. Body count is already over 130k so I doubt they'll get any blowback no matter how far that number increases. The current statistic should ring alarm bells country wide already.
"Suggests this was more working class revolt than Brexit election."
...but that's pretty much what Brexit was in the first place?!
If they want me dead, I'll keep going to spite them.
Yep, the right wing have convinced the working class of this country that brexit is the cause of all their problems, and now convinced them to vote Tory to make sure brexit is done.
Hopefully 4 years will be enough to show them that it was bollocks and brexit being 'done' hasn't fixed anything.
Boris should say no because "once in a lifetime" and then went on to rant to say Scotland is doing terrible under the SNP, education, NHS and indyref means we can't get into Europe anyway.
Andrew Neil actually showed her up.

Best of luck Scotland.
I'm off. Stay safe everyone, don't drink too much.
Fuck you, to any Tory voters on here, and I sincerely hope you get what's coming. You deserve to be lynched.

Guess the beeb can call them out now the Tories are safe for the next 5 years.
Literally nothing. This is the death of any sort of left wing policies in the UK for a generation at least. The swings required for Labour to come back in 2024 are astronomical, so we'll have a Boris government until 2029 at the very least, and Boris has shown that voters actually love it when they are blatantly lied to by racists. The only way for Labour to come back into even remote contention would be to work that racism dial and see what sticks. Which won't win anyway.
So yay.
Andrew Neil will for a moment because he got personally humiliated by Boris' refusal to go for an interview. He can see the writing on the wall there.
So only well-off people are allowed to vote for their morals and against their own economic self interest? Seems to be a bit elitist if people below median earnings should always vote for their own financial gain, but people above the median are allowed to vote against their economic interests and vote on their convictions regarding non-economic policies, isn't?
The state of the people living there who voted Tory.
Hang your heads in shame. Be embarrassed to ever admit it openly.
