Well, wasn't Thursday night a treat! One of the best election nights for decades and one certainly for the YouTube vloggers who streamed their opinions through the night.
I mean, where do I start?
First, it's quite clear the electorate has resoundingly rejected the remain option. That's rejecting the result of the referendum (the Lib-dem option) and also having a second referendum on the proposed plan with the option to remain (The Labour party option).
Like I've said before, it is REMAIN that should have been taken off the table by Labour and the other MPs in the previous Parliament, NOT the no-deal option.
The Lib-Dems, who proposed reversing the referendum decision to exit the EU, were given a kicking, even losing their leader Jo Swinson. I'm sure she thought that in remain-voting Scotland, she'd be safe on an anti-Brexit ticket. She was wrong.
The other good news from the night was that ALL of the MPs that left the parties they were elected under in 2017 and formed various independent factions, or moved to the Lib-Dems lost their seats. Quite right too. No-one likes a turncoat. All the bollocks about "I haven't changed, but my party has" (The most lazy excuse not to stand in a by-election) was absolutely rejected by the electorate. You can't get elected and then change sides without the voters behind you. If you change sides, then you test your position in a by-election. Period.
Finally, we come to the biggie, the really big news of the election: the collapse of the Communist-led Labour party. The so-ca;lled "Red Wall" of the Midlands and North lost a number of seats. Some wards having been staunchly Labour for decades. These wards didn't even vote Tory back in the Conservative high-water mark of the Eighties.
It's quite clear that the UK rejects Communism whether it's Corbyn Communism-lite, or the full on Maoist variety. It just isn't palatable to the British palate.
Wrapping it up in promises of free broadband, or anything else, just won't wash. The UK rejects the far-left lunacy that was the Labour manifesto.
The interesting thing is the complete denial of the reasons for Labour's losses. They blame the media, Brexit, the J*ws (just reinforcing the reports of Labour anti-Semitism), they even blame (drum roll...) the voters!
Yes, the gullible, racist, thick voters that couldn't see the promised land that Labour had ready for them...
I'm going to do a blog especially about Labour's denial to face reality and where I think they will go in future.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to Prime Minister's question time this week. Let's see what questions Corbyn comes up with. I see already in the press that there are reports of Boris wanting to make privatisation of the NHS impossible by legislation. I hope he does, although any new legislation involving the NHS needs to be scrutinised with care, because changes to legislation can provide back-doors to changes that are unwanted.
I can't see Corbyn doing anything but his usual soundbite special, where he provides a series of soundbites for his Twitter echo-chamber.
