The public do not share your Daily Mail version of Jeremy as they know it is all lies.

They clearly do because they did not win.

I can see you're having some real difficulty with this apparently complicated concept.

It was truly astonishing that the proposed that before an election. It was like they were trying to lose.

Well there was the £100,000 figure introduced then a 'Cap' which hadn't been decided on. All of this never came across well.As I say, poor manifesto and campaign - NO excuses.

They will though Cucking. It's happening and the momentum is with Jeremy's views. If you can't see that then you're delusional. The Tories are like Aston Villa of a few years ago, lagging about but trying to hold on. . People don't want the right and the fight. There's another option out there. And it will prevail.

You must ask yourself how the Tories were lined up like ducks in a row, unpopular, in disarray and Labour, running a good campaign, still couldn't beat them, even with the biggest swing since 1945. They still trail the Tories by 57 seats.

Call me delusional if you wish but the result suggests that there is some momentum with his views but it wasn't enough. Where is this additional support (which will involve another huge swing) going to come from at the next election? They've thrown the kitchen sink at this one and it wasn't enough and it'll be a very different Tory party next time.

I said in an earlier post that this election was a victory for "none of the above". Neither candidate captured the imagination of the electorate sufficiently to deliver a majority. Apathy towards both parties was very apparent and there was a lot of tactical voting taking place, either because of distaste towards Corbyn or to give the Tories a kicking.

With all respect to yourself, I think the delusion lies with those who believe that this is the dawning of a new era - it's not. This election was all about vindictive voting and I fully expect that the Tories will regroup and perform significantly better next time.

Very good Cucking.
When did you become so eloquent?

Indeed you are missing the point. Two months ago we all knew Labour was unelectable and heading for a serious bloody nose. Suddenly they are not far off being in a coalition of power. So something has changed. I can't say I have ever been a Corbyn fan but in this campaign he has looked quite sensible most of the time. And apart from Dianne Abbott, who somehow always comes across as bizarre and overly aggressive not to mention dubiously informed, the Labour machine worked well.

So, big change. And given more time potentially they would have made it into power, let's face it they had less forewarning than the Tories of the election.

Now what happens will be truly interesting. Is Corbyn becoming the face of a broader coalition of Labour politicians or will he use this improvement to bolster the extreme Left? Just maybe the former, it's certainly how he came across in the election debates.

Now that the results are virtually all in, what is evident is that c.55% of votes cast were in favour of rejecting austerity. That now is clear and unequivocal. 10 points clear. Theresa May now has no mandate for virtually anything but certainly no mandate for further cuts. This is certainly a victory for those who believe that such policies damage our economy and our vital public services.

I'm disappointed Labour didn't win, but it would have been like Lazarus if they had and clearly Corbyn outperformed expectations enormously. Given many seats labour didn't win have gone from safe to marginal another election this year would provide a genuine opportunity for a labour victory and would allow Corbyn to be much more ambitious in targeting those now marginal seats.

The DUP are a revolting group of people with a horrible record on women's rights and LGBT equality. Not to mention their links to paramilitary loyalist groups. Not surprised May has handed them the balance of power in what can only be described as a weak and desperate move.

Have Labour won the election ?
Or did they trail the Conservatives by 58 seats and polled less than them ?

On that note, it is high time I went down my 'Local' for the odd pint with my wife ! Or should that be a pint with my odd wife ? !!!!

It's also now evident that there is genuine appetite for a progressive modern socialist choice on the ballot paper.

Theresa May from strong and stable to desperate terrorist co-conspirator.

What outrageous demands will the DUP make to behave when voting?

Let June be the end of May.
