Tory majority and big gains for SNP. This could well be the night the UK breaks up.
Indefensible from labour really, they have been spannered by one of the most chaotic and incompetent governments in living memory.

Ouch. Only an exit poll but that is brutal.
Upside, the end of Corbyn.
Downside, virtually everything else.

Looks like they are playing in Florida end of Jan according to Slash’s fb.

The silver lining of a Boris win would be it would hopefully signal the end of Corbyn.
You can get rid off Corbyn with a hung parliment too.
This is the last chance to stop Brexit. That's the selling point.
It'd force a second referendum.
Which is exactly where Labour are going wrong imo. Tories are front and centre on where they stand with Brexit, Labour have stuck with ‘for the many’ bullshit. It’s been dubbed a brexit election and they treat it like an afterthought. The incessant fence sitting will be their downfall. What’s wrong with Corbyn someone asked, nothing if you like being runners up. The guys not a leader he’s a ditherer. Fridays terrorist attack will help the Tories as well I think.
Their position on rich v poor is also too far left imo. There’s a reason Blairs labour did so well, they left some room for those who aspired to climb the earning ladder to do so without being classed as ‘the enemy’ if they did.
I can’t vote Tory, Labour are useless and the Lib Dems won’t win. I’m politically homeless. If it wasn’t so important I honestly might not have voted this time.

I think we’ll make it through the group. Who knows after that. I think the winner of our group gets the runner up of F so don’t really fancy that.
As much as we’ve made progress in the last 2 years and seem to have thrown off the paralysing fear that haunted past England teams. I still don’t see us beating any of the main nations in a knockout game.

Hard School was on the alt setlist and Slash has said he will be recording with GN'R for the next few months, so there has to be a new album planned.
who cares what slash says he has as much power as pitman does none and that's why i don't believe a single word that comes out of his mouth
GN'R are a three way legal partnership.
What he says at this moment in time matters, regardless of your opinion.
That’s interesting. Was this common knowledge? So the rights to the GNR name are now co-owned by Axl, Slash and Duff?

Not saying the Tories won’t win but landslide seems unlikely. I’ve seen nothing suggesting that at all?
The Brexit party could have a big say if they contest most seats. If they split the Brexit vote then it’s a wide open field. There’s also virtually nobody except maybe Farage who would consider a coalition with the Conservatives. If Johnson doesn’t win a majority outright then a remain leaning coalition is not out of the question.
