U.K. Politics: Nadine Dorries resigns her post as MP - or does she?

[Thriller]

Exit poll is shattering.

[Wayne]

Corbyn has to go.

[bm08]

The exit poll is horrifying!

[Wayne]

Well we are leaving the EU then...

[heppolo]

SNP will prevail.

[Wayne]

Overall, based on exit poll...

Cons: +50
Lab: -71
SNP: +20
LD: +1
Other: +1

Stunning for the SNP.

[heppolo]

Scotland better pull through for that independent referendum pt.2 and don't look back.

[Thriller]

Get Brexit done won the day, which is hilarious seeing as Brexit is nowhere near done, and even when it (if) it is, it will still have ramifications for decades.

God I can’t see Boris‘s face anymore *screams in to pillow*

Absolutely horrible result, but not really shocking. Labour didn't even try. Don't get why they didn't form an alliance with the Lib Dems. How do you lose 4 elections in a row and manage to lose seats in the 4th? Surely that's unprecedented for any democratic country.

Scotland winning tho.

[Wayne]

The worst Labour result since 1935, if the exit polls carry through.

Labour went unapologetically to the Left, and got assaulted by the mainstream media and the in-party catfights left, right & centre. Plus those people ridiculously voted for Tories because of that moronic Brexit reason.

I mean, where are the 48% of Remainers (of that 70% turnover)...Have they left the UK already?

[Wayne]

The first result is taking ages...

[SholasBoy]

People who don’t believe in conservatism at all have voted for them for Brexit. I voted Labour, how anyone can support that buffoon and his cronies I have no idea.

[Parkelife]

I voted Labour. And in the Sedgefield area, if this area goes to concervative it will be awful to live here.

[Wayne]

23:26 - first result.

Newcastle Central - Labour with a majority of over 12,000 (58%).

Sunderland - Labour with a majority of over 3,000.

[Wayne]

Blyth Valley - Conservatives have won the seat.

Labour had had the seat since 1950.

[Shadowplay]

...

[SholasBoy]

My home town, Grimsby has been Labour forever but it seems even that’s going to Tory because all the racists think if they get Brexit then the vans gonna come down and round up all the Poles.

[cheapthrills]

What depressing news. I had assumed with the Brexit mess people might have changed their mind on the idea.

[bm08]

I am not even sure how Labour regroups after this

[IVyoncé]

Sad to see these results

[BeeBoy]

Tragic

[Wayne]

Jeremy Corbyn has indicated he will not continue on as Labour leader.

Jo Swinson (leader of the Lib Dem’s) lost her seat.

Dennis Skinner, who has held his seat for nearly 50 years, has now lost it.

This is our “Trump election” in terms of shock and what this means for U.K. political change.
