I’m loving Ed Miliband’s new Twitter handle.

So we had a few goons form an anti immigration party and even an Irexit party in our elections this week. They got nowhere, pretty much zero votes. It’s times like this that I let myself have a smidgen of national pride.

Don’t let the cancer grow. These banana splits start small and then end up destroying your whole country with their poisonous bile.

I live in hope that when this all crashes and burns it will be the ones responsible who take the flack, but who am I kidding, eh? It's always the weak the powerless who get the blame. The like of Farage and Johnston will never face any consequence.

Apperently Cameron is looking to get back in to mainstream politics with a play for Sevenoaks. Hopefully it'll go very badly for him.

They’ve Been trying for years now with no joy.
The cancer in your government has spread across parties. Ireland has a unique situation, if people feel overly nationalistic they vote Sinn Fein but they are a pretty liberal party so the real plebs just don’t get a look in.

BBC keeps trying to suggest that the Labour votes have gone to Brexit party, when actually they are going to Lib Dem and Greens. Brexit party is just getting the UKIP and some Conservative votes.

Doesn't this depend on what part of England the BBC are referring to? I would imagine there's a North South divide for this.

[DML]

Gotta say, this is better than I first feared. We were looking at 35% vs Lib Dems 19% in the last polling, and were currently at 31% vs 21%.

CUKs should just call it a day.

Good job guys

CUKs should just call it a day.

It was a mess of a launch, but most small parties would be thrilled with the start they've had TBH under normal circumstances.

They're costing the Lib Dems seats.

I get the frustration of that.

Doesn't mean its a terrible night for them really. They had way bigger ambitions of course.

So far, for all the Brexit Party threat, they seem to be only taking the CON/UKIP seats.
