Agreed. I doubt Labour will let it go. Those young people won't.

Was brought up with Clangers (obv). Postgate was always quite subversive. Worked well with this (then) small child.

Kensington seems to have voted Labour! Not absolutely confirmed yet but that's the position at present after a recount.(BBC)

“Britain is in a right old pickle this morning,” says Chris Iggo, the chief investment officer of fixed income at AXA Investment Managers. He says that the problem is that the country “does not know what it wants”:
“It has rejected the most left-wing policy agenda since the 1970s and at the same time rejected (almost) a government that did not appear to have a clear plan for the next parliament given that the next parliament will be dominated by Brexit. It seems that Britain is schizophrenic. It appears to want Brexit but is not sure what Brexit is. It wants more money spent on the health service and education but doesn’t want to pay for it via an attack on enterprise or at the cost of fiscal meltdown. It seems that young Britain is at odds with mature Britain.

Labour 'gain Kensington'

Labour is reported to have taken Kensington the last seat to declare, after several recounts. It means the final tally has Conservatives on 318 seats and Labour on 262 seats.

tinyclanger2 · Post by **tinyclanger2** » Fri 09 Jun, 2017 1:15 pm

Political commentators say Theresa May's speech appears to be much the same as that planned for an expected outright election victory with an increased majority.

tinyclanger2 · Post by **tinyclanger2** » Fri 09 Jun, 2017 1:16 pm

Here’s May statement in full (note her use of the phrase Conservative and Unionist party and the number of times she uses the word certainty).

That would be the Conservative Party and their allies in Northern Ireland the Ulster Unionist Party, arch rivals of the Democratic Unionist Party.

BBC now saying that Kensington is heading into its 3rd recount and the result won't be known until around 6pm. What's going on? They haven't retracted their earlier statement.

The BBC is rowing back on its report that Labour has won Kensington as another recount is due to take place this evening.

A la Rudd
