Re: Thursday 8th June 2017
This looks curiously like an American election where we have a fight between two main parties, one representing the young, the educated and the progressive, and the other representing the older generation, the 'life is my college' brigade' and the reactionary.
Which sort of reflects the EU referendum vote.
And that mystifies me somewhat. But so do many other things.

Elsewhere in Greater Manchester, the trouble magnet that is Simon Danczuk has had a terrible night, losing his deposit in Rochdale. He went into the contest with a 12,442 majority, but after being barred from standing for the Labour party following various grubby scandals decided to chance his arm as an independent. It didn’t work: the veteran politician Tony Lloyd (who gave up his Manchester Central seat in 2012 to become Greater Manchester’s police and crime commissioner) won 29,035 votes to Danczuk’s 883

Looks like being 10 DUP MPs, and 7 SF members who won't take their seats - makes it easier for a minority tory government to rule with confidence and supply

Jeremy Vine is quite irritating.
But anyway BBC now putting Tories on 318 (8 short).
And 9 DUP.

Ok I'm off to listen to some tunes in bed with weed knowing the worst thing that I could wake up to is me setting myself on fire.
I reckon about 2 in the afternoon should be the optimum time tomorrow to get up and laugh at the tories.
Hangovers are fine if your country has suddenly become hilarious.
