    He is a loser!

    He will have no influence whatsoever.

    Reassuring to hear. Reading about his candidacy was unsettling because of the success he had in convincing people that Brexit was a good idea.

    He has tried being a MP ever since, and lost every one of those elections, except, ironically, becoming a Euro MP. Perhaps the people who voted him for that wanted him to spend time in Brussels and really get to know what goes on there, rather than come up with a whole load of lies about how its run

    Everything is possible in the UK but I think people know exactly what he is made of now.

    And the answer is not pretty

    I just spotted Mr Farage will be standing for Clacton on Sea

    Initially, he said he wasn't standing.

    let's see what he says tomorrow

    Labour around 40%, Con around 22% with Cons only said to be keeping around 64 seats.

    These figures are astonishing and nothing less than the Conservatives deserve. I always voted Con, but if I could have voted, it would have been Labour for the first time in my life. All of my family in the UK feel the same.

    I hope Rishi is already packing his bags.

    Exit polls on a probable Labour landslide should be available at around 6 pm Argie time.

    A change is as good as a rest. I doubt it'll make much differece anyway.

    I find that slightly offensive. The muppets themselves could do a much better job than any government

    The first exit poll indicates a landslide victory for Labour. No huge surprise , to be honest.

    Just a question of how much will they win by, I think.
