Lots of the political pundits saying tonight that if Johnson gets his win the new Tory northern MPs will push him back to the centre. The next GE will not be about Brexit so they must come up with policies to keep those northern Tories onside.
That is what one nation Tory is supposed to be about in't it?

You said yourself that the referendum went deeper than finances, political vIews, allegiance and loyalty. It meant so much more and people weren’t going to give in, hence the Ref 2 brigade and this. So the ref 2 brigade didn’t back down and the leavers today didn’t back down, and won it again, with a lot of ‘come on and get it moving because we’re bored or want other stuff sorted.’ I do also think there was a fair bit of an opposition to socialism, or a drive to bankruptcy or rising interest rates, although many wouldn’t know how it would hit, just imagining that it would, badly, and probably quickly. The last parliament was rotten - full of mp's who did not follow the mandate.

Was surprisingly downbeat about the result. I have no real faith in Boris Johnson and only wanted him to win so that we left the EU but would have settled for a smaller majority for him. And was not cheering the result on at all. Until this morning. When I heard Gina Miller being interviewed. And nearly crashed the car as I started laughing and cheering and whooping. f***ing brilliant. The moment from this election that will top all the others. LOL. Over and over again. f*** you Miller. And every other w***er who wanted to bin my vote from June 2016. Will stroll around now for the rest of the day with a grin that would put a Chesire Cat to shame.

Yes that as well, plus Lib Dem didn’t grow because it could’ve meant a Corbyn as PM, although as has been mentioned before, remove Brexit or Corbyn’s 2nd referendum pledge and might have won. Boris, Cummings, the party leaders and cabinet would’ve discussed all factors, oh and including the Boris factor, and thought they stood a great chance. It was won before it started really. I’m just surprised the Workington Man profile leak worked. Perhaps they just probably agreed on it for one election they needed Brexit started and Corbyn and Islington politics out.

She was on tv last night still talking about legal issues ahead so we might not have seen or heard the last of her. Her initial care for process, which was actually to just remain.

Surprised it worked tbh but this and the referendum has told politicians not to ignore them or take them for granted, twice. Whether it’s heeded or not is anyone’s guess. In his speech this morning Boris pointed out that certain parliamentarians had paid the price for not heeding the wishes of the electorate. Good riddance to Grieve, Gauke, Soubrey and all the other defectors

As a side note I would just like to add that Nicola Sturgeon is an odious human being.

As a lifelong Labour supporter I'm very happy with this election result. Labour needed to be crushed. Corbyn and his Momentum chums have been shown to be unelectable, irresponsible and racist. The sooner the lot of them stop whinging, stop making ridiculous excuses for their defeat and disappear the better. Labour needs to completely rebuild as a creditable party without Corbyn and the rest of the Crazy Gang. Loved Alan Johnson laying into that fraud John Landsman last night on ITV. I was hoping he was going to punch him. Not sure about racist. If you criticise Israel you tend to get hit by everything the Jewish lobby can throw at you, whether or not it's justified Apart from that I am with you. Corbyn unelectable and Brexit not dealt with. Maybe if Labour had emasculated the Lib Dems by being a clearly Remain party it would have fared better. I suspect though the balance continues to be slightly in favour of Brexit across the country as a whole. So now the metropolitans and the Scots feel disenfranchised. There is a long way to come back to get any feeling of a unitary culture, something which so many people on this site seems to think important. I wonder if Cummings can also succeed there, using his puppets. At least the ERG has almost no power left now.

She is a busted flush. And I suspect that a lot of our finest legal brains will all of a sudden go very quiet about Brexit. Lot of people seeing their gravy trains suddenly threatened by the size of Johnson's majority. Did not see her last night but this morning she sounded very flat. She knows. Absolutely nothing anymore to be gained with the irony being that thanks to her interference Johnson can now pass what he wants. And I finally understand what it means to experience a cathartic moment. It was as though years of frustration and rage just dissipated over the space of 20 or so seconds. For that, Ms Miller will always have a special place in my heart. Currently having to listen to Remain Retard after Remain Retard doing any and everything other than putting their hands up and admit they f***ed up. They actually make me feel a degree of sympathy for Corbyn who is clearly now their whipping boy.
