SNP predicted to collapse to 10, presumably a lot of their support going to Labour.
I guess it is saying that Labour will be the majority party in Scotland although I think the polling had them pretty much neck and neck.
Looks like a stonking mandate to me !
I was hoping (without much information about the likelihood of it) for a tory 3rd place, with the LDs second. But it was not to be.
While Lib Dems in second place was always a bit of a pipe dream (although I’ll keep hoping until it’s impossible), being a solid third and more seats than all the nationalists and other tiny parties is great.
“local drink place” 
It almost looks like somebody used a placeholder phrase and forgot to replace it.
The exit poll predicts Labour will only get a 36% share of the vote which is absolutely nuts considering the size of the landslide.
It would be 4 points lower than Corbyn got in 2017. 
Is this because of the multiparty system? They’ll win the plurality in enough districts to push them into the majority?
This is exactly it.
Labour will consistently win in an enormous number of seats with maybe 40-50% of the vote.
I reckon that’s translated literally from russian or something.
A cursory search shows that the russian word for “pub” is пивная which
translates as “beer hall”.
Just the place to throw a putsch!
More pictures of putches at polling places, please!
Isn’t a general election followed by a meeting with the monarch in which the leader of the winning party is “invited to form a government”? How soon does that happen?
So he’s going to Buckingham Palace on Friday for this meeting.
Yes he will almost certainly travel to Buckingham Palace tomorrow and it will probably be before all the constituencies have counted. But by then 98% of the MPs will be confirmed. The only way this timetable doesn’t happen is if no party has enough MPs to form a government. Then there would be horse trading until a group can form enough MPs to form a majority coalition.
Report I’m seeing here (Aust - ABC) is that there is a big swing against Conservative in electorates that voted with Conservatives for Brexit.
Who would that be?
Typical reaction to Right Wing Populists bad promises not being kept. RW Populists make promises they know they cant keep in order to be elected, and it works! But generally for just one election.
Keir Starmer, the Labour Party leader and almost certainly the next prime minister of the UK.
