    Yes.

    Ministers are so close to losing their seats, this is great!

    Btw, where are the leave voters who told me I'm wrong? Not so wrong now, am I? :rotfl:

    well i'm here....and you were right!

    This is going swimmingly well.

    Farage just admitted a hard Brexit now appears unlikely - Conservative Home just posted an article suggesting a sensible, centrist, Brexit keeping single market membership is now on the table.

    And May is definitely gone very shortly.

    Revenge of the Remainers. :)

    Happy days.

    I haven't crossed you Bobby, but good on you for having the guts to admit it, many wouldn't.

    Interesting thing is that "leave" areas seem to be delivering some unexpected gains - whether that's because they trust Labour to deliver a better "leave" or because it really wasn't that big an issue either way would be interesting to know.

    Certainly, most of the remain voters I know (myself included) would have preferred to stay in but it really wasn't a life changing issue as long as it was managed right. As the winners no-one seems to have looked at how many leave voters felt the same in reverse.

    I agree, wrong issue.

    Tories doing really well in Scotland, forecast now increased to 322 seats, they could govern with that relatively comfortably with DUP and UUP support
