Holy crap CANTERBURY???

We go to cantersaddick for his take on the situation...

Unfortunately his missus has run over the UKIP candidate.

I mean, there are some places that ought to be Tory, or I'll have to start questioning reality. Canterbury is pretty much one such place

Tory Seat for 150 years....

And I voted at my parents house because I didn't think I'd make a difference in Canterbury!

LAB hold Oxford East.

Laddick01

As a Canterbury constituent this was my first ever Labour vote. Speaks volumes.

Who was he last PM we had from a party that wasn't the largest party?

And how long did it last?

I agree with you, but for different reasons, better to let the conservatives form a minority government or a majority propped up by Ireland, worked out really well for John Major.

Tom Watson ['Labour' MP] (on the BBC):

....Ditto, Peter Hain.

...Back under the duvet with Bliar.

Weasel. (Rotund weasel). Too many free dinners.

Cough on it... and do, please, bugger off.

Andy Zalzman with yet another gem

Presumably from Breitbart.

No no it's The Bugle podcast where Jon Oliver got his start. His old mucker Andy Zalzman is live tweeting from that account. He's fond of irony.

This is like the US election but not completely and utterly soul crushing!

Tory stronghold for 150 years. Julian Brazier has been MP there for my whole life. Didn't think anything would change that!

I can't believe it. Every election/referendum I've ever taken an interest in has completely crushed me, with the exclusion of Obama 2012.

LAB hold Hartlepool.

Callumcafc

SNP hold Dundee West.

Something that is coming out is how awful the party's target list are. It is all over the place at the moment.

Farage says he's coming back to politics if Corbyn is PM.

Nigel threatening to return! Hooray!

There's a man in Battersea who has apparently just come from a dress rehearsal for a 14th century pimp.

Going after power for the sake of power whatever the cost, whilst having no principles or idelogy doesn't seem to be working very well.

Labour GAIN Battersea
