@lemons;

The DUP, potential Farage peerage... it all wouldn't have been possible without the students who brought it about. Thank you!

:Heart::Heart::Heart:

Interesting how the labour supporters are being the ones blamed for this coalition when not a single **** labour voter went and voted DUP or Conservative, sigh.

Reassured this morning. It's a myth that the DUP want a 'soft Brexit' (whatever that actually means).

It's more the endless moaning about a party they've just become aware of - coupled with the fact they're acting as if they've just won the election when the reality is they've won only 4 more seats than Gordon Brown did for Labour in 2010. Hardly a stunning result. Makes me laugh the whinging about the DUP's mainstream conservative social policy on abortion and gay 'marriage' yet there's the oh so progressive Labour Party holding gender segregated meetings.

Corbyn supporters are basically celebrating the DUP now gaining influence in government. Hardly a victory for the Left.

but it won't happen jajaja

I'm not saying it won't happen just aren't you getting a bit carried away? You're on 262 seats (2010-2015 level).

[lemons]

Carried away with what? The fact Labour will win next time round? Not getting carried away at all!

JC made unexpected gains, something Ed Miliband failed to do and that will continue as people see this DUP coalition of chaos flop!

Like I said people care more about other stuff than just Brexit and that's where Theresa May's campaign went horribly wrong

Point proven. Hubris.

Given her campaign is being billed as the worst Tory campaign in 200 years and you still only got 262 seats? I'm not totally discounting his increase in votes, certainly an achievement - but it's not as though he's on the doorstep of Downing Street.

In terms of seats (262) that would *usually* be a result that would mean the resignation of the Opposition Leader.

Another day, another strong and stable U-Turn - https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-election-mess

Also under consideration is whether to exclude overseas students from the immigration numbers and even possibly to abandon the target to reduce immigration to the “tens of thousands”. Although nothing has been agreed, any softening of the position on immigration could maximise the chance of a closer economic relationship with the EU.

Tfw you might break a manifesto promise for the third time in 7 years, this time only 5 days after the election in which you attempted to win over UKIP voters

This is officially May's theme tune now
