IMHO what we appear to be seeing tonight is that Leave supporters can stomach Boris's lies more than Remain supporters could stomach Corbyn's Marxism. And of course the perennial inability of any established remain politicians to organise a piss up in a brewery

Out of curiosity I've just had a look at Anna Soubry's twitter page. Dear God, the replies to that pinned tweet she has at the top...  happy002

Tried looking at the twitter feeds for Corbyn, Abbot, Jess Phillips and Sadiq Khan. While there have been supportive messages, the rest could only be described as brutal and in a lot of cases bloody hysterical.

Sun still rose this morning, probably will again tomorrow.  Best bits for me about this election

- at least we avoided the horror of Corbyn
- DUP suffered serious reverses

err that's it.   Whatever the make up of the house we are still a very polarised country that could easily become a broken one.  So I hope Boris can and does honour his many promises, he's certainly got no excuses now

Out of curiosity (and the suspicion that the replies would be good for a laugh) I've been keeping half an eye on Corbyn's, Abbot's etc twitter feeds post election. Now I'd like to think that this was just a mahoosive coincidence but Jezza has managed to tweet the English translation of one of the more infamous IRA slogans that used to be daubed on walls around Ireland. Given his ties to members in the past (attending rallies, paying the bail of one and getting a convicted bomb maker to the top of the council house list as well as a job to name but a few examples) I find it hard to believe that he wasn't aware of how bad an idea it would be to tweet 'Our day will come' and found a better alternative instead.  noooo:

I detest Corbyn but even I won't blame him for that.  That's been a universally used phrase long before the Troubles

The DM would probably have slagged him off for using the word 'one' saying it was a reference to Hitler's slogans

True but you would think that he'd be aware enough to realise that he is once again declaring open season on himself. He may be the outgoing opposition leader but at the moment he's still in charge of Labour, why give even more ammunition to hit him with. Believe it or not this didn't come from the Mail but from replies to the tweet in question from members of the public. Looking back at previous leaders I'm starting to wonder if there is some arcane ritual when you get put in charge of the Labour party that removes your sense of putting your foot in your mouth.
