The media showing it's bias against Corbyn again this morning. "Corbyn struggles over cost of childcare policy" was the big front page story on BBC's website earlier, down to the fact he couldn't remember off the top of his head an exact figure. But the Tories have zero costings in their manifesto and they think a child's breakfast only costs 7p, well the media will just let that slide.... Someone tried pointing out on some BBC radio show that "When Jeremy doesn't have a figure to hand, it's headline news at the BBC yet when Philip Hammond gets his figures wrong by £20bn, it's ignored" Hell, speaking of bias, the guy behind the Liar Liar song that the BBC are refusing to play went on Victoria Derbyshire and said that the editor of the program told him not to criticise the Tories too much.

Jeremy Corbyn's making an appearance pretty much next door to where I'm gonna be tomorrow so I might swing by, if I can be bothered to hang around as it starts a couple of hours after I leave.

Well, now begins the agonising wait of finding out whether the country's future is screwed or not. I have no doubts about it, the Conservatives will win yet again, just like 2015, in a result that will defy all logic at a time where the country's future is in greater peril than ever before.
How people can continue to vote Tory is beyond me. They've shown themselves to be entirely self-serving, amoral, incompetent, and just all round awful people to have running the country. When the Conservatives do win, they'll ensure Brexit screws up the working class as much as possible, to ensure that the rich stay rich. They don't care about the many, only about the few.
Whereas with Labour, we have a chance of making Brexit work. Corbyn is honestly the only politician I've seen in recent years that seems to genuinely care about his people and the fate of the country. Labour's manifesto sounds excellent, and is exactly what the country needs.
I've done my bit. I've voted Labour, and successfully persuaded others to vote Labour too. But I know it'll all end up being for nothing in the end. Just like the 2015 General Election and Brexit, the clearly better option will lose.

For today, screw whatever tribalism or party views you hold... just go out and vote. Even if you live in a safe seat like myself or you support no particular party, make your mark on that piece of paper and resubscribe to your right to moan for the next five years.

Hung Parliament? I predicted Labour to have the popular vote, I don't think that's a wild idea. Fingers crossed.

Interesting to see how accurate the exit poll is in Scotland. Can't see the SNP losing 22 seats.

Angus Robertson gone, that was a surprise to me. I liked him a lot, even as an SNP MP.

Well it's been a disaster in Scotland tonight. Double digit Tory MPs, what has happened to us?
After the disaster of her campaign Theresa May has to resign.

Looks like a Tory / Unionist Coalition of Chaos.

Why Scotland, why have you forsaken us? ing disgusted that we've elected 13 Tory MPs. Absolutely sickening. Cannot believe people North of the border have voted for a party who have been nothing but disasterous for us. Oh well Rule Brittannia and God Save the Queen.

There's still a strong chance that May gets ousted sometime in the future, so that's still a really big positive to take from all of this. I don't see how she stays on when even their coalition with the DUP is still 2 seats short of the 2015 Tory majority.

I guess all the core labour voters are still with the SNP...its baffling how the Tories have a higher share of the vote than Labour up there.

Most Labour still with SNP yes. Plus everyone in Scotland has been bombarded with Tory propaganda, although the only policy they have is opposing a second independence referendum. There has also been cases of Labour members encouraging people to vote Tory in certain seats to beat the SNP. Scottish Labour are massively to blame for this. I hope Labour can get the revival in Scotland. I voted yes to independence but no way do I want to spend years living under a Tory government to achieve this. Plus all the growth of SNP in Westminister has done is allow the Tories to form a government.

Corbyn claims victory!!! Yay!!!
As a Spurs fan I know that doing better than last time, but not finishing first is still called losing...
