Worth remembering the stark difference of what a Labour government delivers, compared to the dire poverty and inept, inadequate and incompetent lying Tory criminals. Yes, 13 years of Tory inept, inadequate and incompetent governance.

And the Economy was doing much, much better under Labour
The Tories have been dreadful but it’s about to get much worse. Will the last hard working, tax payer with family values turn off the light when they leave please. Huge exodus coming
So American observer, am I the only one who finds it a little bit ironic that you guys are holding your elections on the same date as our independence Day. The day we became independent from Britain.
I know it is very important to you guys, but remember, you are just one of the 65 countries that celebrate independence from the UK. You are part of a pretty large club.
Ruth may sit with the Conservative peers in the Lords, because of her former job, but that peerage frees her from having to toe the party line. And if you've heard her podcasts or interviews, she's been highly critical of the outgoing rabble, and scathing about their campaign. She's probably thinking 'I wish I was allowed to cheer, like that.'.

@@TheTrickshot77 What's your favourite thing about the fact that, because Patel closed down all overseas processing centres, making applying from inside the UK the *only* legal route (that therefore must be protected under UN rules), there is no longer such a concept as an 'illegal' arrival route? Watch Braverman squirm, in the Parliamentary Committee, when pressed to describe the 'legal routes' she said applicants must use. She knew she was lying, and had been caught out. Open the refugee centres, that the French have kept aside for us, they become the protected legal route, and any boat passengers can be sent there. The backlog was deliberately created by the Conservatives, 1) to make their hotel-owning friends very, very rich, and 2) to get you, and people like you, very, very angry, so you would vote Conservative. That last part appears to have backfired, doesn't it?

It crashed under Cameron, when he called the referendum, and the morning of the result. It had several crashes under May, as Brexiters kept manipulating the Parliamentary bills, to make Brexit more likely, less likely, more likely,... each time using insider knowledge to cheat the markets. It crashed every time Boris threatened no-deal crash-out, rallied every time he stepped back, crashed every time they threatened to gut trade standards, rallied when they stepped back. Again, using insider knowledge to cheat the markets, at your expense. You were played, yet you still grovel and beg for more abuse.

Great to see the obnoxious, corrupt, slimey Tories being sent packing.
yes, after 14 years like old chewing gum on pavements
to be replaced by anti-British financially ruinous Labour -who actually despise the white working class .
And the corrupt new Labour Tories gaining power.. great.. not
To be replaced with more of the same...
Country rejected the conservatives tonight overwhelmingly media trying to put a negative spin on it quite incredible .
Looking from the States, those Tories were some circus show, particularly Boris and Liz, and the whole Brexit calamity...
What brexit calamity?
I wonder if I am the only one who genuinely mixes up Ruth Davidson and Susan Calman?
