Bit of a damp squib....UKIP vote drops.

Possibly the most interesting thing, in light of the entirely predictable outcome, was the total collapse in the turnout from 70.2% last year to a mere 37.1% this time, not sure what that is down to maybe right wing complacency (entirely understandable in a shoe in seat like this) or possibly wider election fatigue. Both Tory and UKIP share dropped by c.2% but that means little, possibly the only minor note was the closeness of the vote between UKIP and Lib Dem? which changed from a c.10% difference to only 2.5% this time.

Labour vote dropped from 17.3% to 10.2%, but not sure how much they are being affected by the upturn in Lib Dem fortunes and thus the 'new' Labour voters finding a home there?

All in all, as expected!

Good grief there are some bloody peculiar Tories out there...

Philip Davies is currently filibustering a bill on domestic violence....

  Fuck me...De Piero only gets in at 88. There's some strange people out there....also haven't noticed Stella Creasy anywhere, and she's not to shabby.

 Some of SNP v Tory contests were hard to call.  Not sure I could raise the enthusiasm for a Tory, but if push came to shove (ooh er missus), anything would have to be better than a Jimmy Krankie lookalike.

I see Miss Blackwood is high on the list, I don't think Mrs ghanimah will be impressed.

I think there is something fishy with the rankings as the Tories seem to be doing suspiciously well, plus Caroline Flint is well down the list!

Good to see Leicester Liz in her true place though!

  So major Brexit speech today....which has been released in advance in condensed form. A lot to keep the swivel eyed loons happy, but nothing about forced deportations or gulags, so some will be pissed off. Interesting times ahead....

Hope the Government know what they are doing, sounds like an exercise in foot shooting right now.

You're dead right, without staying in the Single Market (EFTA/EEA) then we are fucked. No two ways about it.
