If Labour stays more to the left off the back of this result and the Conservatives obviously stay to the right could be good news for the Lib Dems. Although I think they need a leadership election themselves. Pleased to see Cable win his seat back. Thought he took a lot of stick for Clegg going...

You must be able to see the staggering hypocrisy when the Tories, who have talked up Corbyn's supposed links to the IRA more than any other topic in the campaign, are suddenly happy to jump in with the DUP as they're the only party prepared to work with them.

Had R4 on a bit today and there's been a string of Labour MPs coming on saying they were wrong about Corbyn. Of course they might just think its the right thing to say and normal service will be resumed shortly but you never know.

When the election was announced Labour had a 20 point deficit. We were told they were in chaos and would lose to a landslide. Some were even predicating it being the end of the party. He's been hammered in the press and on TV. Off the back of that surely you can see why the result last night is...

Do you think they've kept the result from May? She's speaking as if she's just won a huge majority!

That can't be a serious comment.

That's correct. If he's been made redundant and then his job immediately advertised he will take them to the cleaners at a tribunal.

Have the Lib Dems got someone on work experience standing in Sunderland?

Exit polls split by age starting to appear. Conservatives don't take a lead until you hit the over 55s but of course turnout normally increases with age.

Don't hate him at all and agree he is a very likeable character but that doesn't mean he should be PM!

He's a liability. You couldn't trust him to lead an election campaign. Look at how he's been in this election.

To be fair when you're on both sides you're always going to be a winner!

They'd be mad to put him in charge.

Don't think they'll go into a coalition with anyone after the hammering they took last time. SNP and Plaid have previously indicated they'd be prepared to work with Labour.

Lib Dems won't go in with them again, they were mad to do it last time, doing it again would totally kill them off. SNP and Plaid have both previously indicated they'd be prepared to work with Labour. If the polls are right that would mean it would be a pretty much equal split.
