Dimbleby: [I paraphrase, not quote] ‘So, Peter Hain, this is rather encouraging, is it not? This is your moment. You have largely overcome. What do you do now?’
Hain: ‘We don’t know what direction to take’.
Dimbleby: ‘Really, you don’t know what direction to take?’
My view: Peter Hain = Total Arse. Is, and shall be.
When the broadcasters cut to a result, there are two things I want to know: who is the current seat holder, and what figures came in last time (for context when the numbers are read out). Neither of these things are ever provided.
To make matters worse, when they cut back, Dimbleby talks like we obviously all know whose seat it was. And a night with Dimbleby is a soul-draining experience. It's like I'm hanging out with a Dementor.
In the pub, my niece said that this time round, the youth vote is real. " it's become cool to vote" she said. At 21.55....
I'm hoping this puts an end to the suggestion of a take over by the hard left, maybe they have finally given a mandate that the whole Labour party can accept and build upon together. If the have energised the youth vote, they have defied the establishment again. Early days yet saying that.
Those young people didn't ever have to travel on a nationalised railway run by British Rail or suffer when the country was in the grip of the Trade Unions with constant strikes. Labour Governments have always overspent and left the economy in a worse state than they found it.
Fuck me you sound like the Daily Mail. Stuck in the 1970s.
Privatising the railways has really been a great success....
I remember the mess the country was in under Labour in the 70s. Young people voting today have no idea what that was like.
Change the record - the world has changed since the 1970s. You'll be going on about Winston Churchill next.
Should I start reminding you of all the disasters the Tories have presided over?
Tbh we're probably f***ed whoever is in charge. Our economy is knackered!

Yeah it's a bit frustrating. Trying to find out for myself so I can post the relevant info here.
Maybe they're just taking Theresa May resigning into account?
Corbyn can't win....can he?
Back in game, I nodded off ......
It's going to be interesting, it's going to be a crazy coalition of about 4/5 parties if Corbyn does become Prime Minister. But Yes, it's possible although still feel unlikely.

I think the coloured tag above the names on right (next to declaring) as they appear indicates who holds the seat.
