Here's my take on the results.

UKIP wiped out because they no longer serve a purpose and have a rubish leader.
Labour hammered because they are lead by a throwback socialist.
Lib Dem - no gains, similar to 2010 when people thought they'd grow.
Conservitaive gains because they are pecieved to be doing a good job running the country.
Gains for other parties as some Labour voters switch to anyone else but the Tories.

Strange that no statements from Labour have been released today. I think Junker and Corbyn should have both resigned after the referendum but from recent events neither show any sign of movement as they are both as they are both as stubbon deluded and useless as each other.

A statement which is utterly incredible. They have done a shockingly bad job. Continued austerity damaging the economy and people's lives being used as a mask for an ideology of rolling back the state, u-turns aplenty, a botched EU referendum, party infighting, NHS in terminal decline, junior doctors strikes, infrastructure under-investment, Gove's record on education and huge cuts in spending on education, growing public debt despite austerity (actually because of austerity), cuts to council budgets, cuts to disability benefits, cuts to policing, cuts to public services, cuts in inheritance tax, cuts in top rate of income tax, cuts in corporation tax rate, cuts in spending on the environment, cuts in spending on housing, cuts in spending on health, stagnant (and high levels of) inequality, selling off assets to the far east, low levels of productivity, No progress on current account deficit, no progress on shrinking the deficit (despite grand claims), no success on claims of reducing net immigration, no progress on housing crisis... F*cking brilliant job.

If only it was contained to such a small part of the UK.

Keep talking the pills, stirling. I have absolutely no idea what you are on about unless you are saying that one's postcode should dictate one's thoughts on all subjects? But that would be too ridiculous so must be something else.

And who said i was a Scottish Nationalist? I never have. Come on. Who's been telling porkies? Or, perhaps, as is more likely you have just imagined it.

Having said that i would rather the mother-country was not dragged down as well as England by you nutty Hard Brexiteers so if that means it goes its own way sobeit.

What has he achieved? He won an election, something which 'moderate' Labour has rarely managed to do in the past decade. But that's not 'achieving' anything. As a politician, your record should be based on what you do for people, not your capacity to win elections.
