Trying to look for positives from which (for me) was a verrry long night, St Jeremy lost and, for me the most satisfying part of all, nick clegg AND Alex Salmond both ended up sucking the 🍋. Ha! So that's all right. I can live with the rest. Off to look at some new cars tomorrow to cheer myself up. Usually works.

He did indeed.

All is well. all together now, 'The rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate, He made them high and lowly and ordered their estate'.

Pay no heed to the morrow, you can't take it with you.

Enjoy.

There you go then, cash in a bit more of the pension pot TM and enjoy it whilst you still have the requisite faculties!

The pension pot is sacred! No, have to come out of savings. That's what they're there for, these little treats.

I do love a nice quote, quite right, can't take it with you. Maybe the wife would like a new car as well? Have to ask her.💡

She must be relieved she's not moving...for a few months yet eh?

That's OK, time for her to do some packing, anyway Obviam novus princeps, idem vetus amet. 😎

Let's see also who lasts longest as party leader! Corbyn will grow in confidence at PMQs

Terrorists (former of course) in power now.

Should be some old friends there for Jeremy to chat to. 😏

I can't see that he has any option but to stand by those words. Meanwhile May will forget her own words:

“The cold hard fact is that if I lose just six seats I will lose this election and Jeremy Corbyn will be sitting down to negotiate with the presidents, prime ministers and chancellors of Europe” - Theresa May, 20 May 2017

Next election in October?

Best thing about last night? Lord Bucket head! Brilliant.

Laugh?

"Key takeaways from the MRLP’s manifesto include suggestions that all taxpayers receive Nectar Points [store card points] from HMRC [tax office], replacing the Trident nuclear missile program with a three-pronged fork, and proposed changing the English “three lions” symbol to three badgers: “How often do you see lions running round the countryside?”

"Perhaps his strongest pledge: “ We will nationalise crime to make sure it doesn’t pay.”

🙌🙌🙌

Sounds more sensible than JCs manifesto. I wished he'd got 30 more votes and had governed for a year. That would have been funny. May should have resigned and let JC free. Would have been so funny!!

Love it! Particularly the last pledge; of course, they'll have to reverse the Tory privatisation! Just appoint Sir Phil Green as Head, that will do it.

You woukdn't have been in the Country to enjoy it; so why spoil our fun?

15. Free bike for everyone, to help combat obesity, traffic congestion and bike theft!

Yep. Still going. Countries fooked. See Lilly Allen is outside downing street with a load of other numpties. I predict a riot. Our way or the highway. Thats the lefty way. And democracy? No one seems to realise that May was a disaster and still recorded one of the highest percentage of Tory votes at a GE ever. JC will get in soon. You just have a bit more time now to plan an exit.

Just a thought.

After hearing certain 'high' Tory responses, it's pretty clear that TM is roundly disliked and indeed that feeling is by no means new. I'm far from convinced she took the decision to go to the Country all on her own. It wasn't particularly sensible idea and any student of political history will tell you that past experience on PMs doing this generally results in disaster. Tory high command always take a long view, so I smell a rat here. To me, this whole affair is beginning to look like a deliberate own goal by the party's central powers.

Listening to some Tories, I believe getting May in charge was an act of sabotage.
