Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the Blairites spinning this as proof of Corbyn being a disaster for Labour.
Yeah, but they're limeys so the petty retroactive name-calling will be linguistically so much saltier than "DURR...Bernie Bros".

Hung parliament almost for sure. Forunately, I'll be in London in about a week and I can help play kingmaker for y'all.

She's claiming she won't resign, so start placing bets inside and outside the Tories on who's going to win the ratfucking sweepstakes.

So let me make sure I got this right, May basically said "we need more Tory seats, so what the hell? Let's throw a special election." And then, "oops we actually lost seats. " And doing this random special election and losing seats in Parliament is grounds for resignation?

Like our Prime Minister likes to say, let me be clear; this is fucking great.

Good result considering, I truly hope Labour can build on this and that the anti-Corbynites within take a long hard look at themselves, or as Malcolm Tucker might put it, either come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off.

I'm hoping (perhaps against hope) that Canada's social democrats, who will be electing a new leader, take the correct reading of all this and shift the fuck left. The Conservatives just picked another Harperite and the Young Prince is, well, a neoliberal himself, albeit one who smiles nice and does seem legit on a number of social and cultural issues. There is a populist opening for a left party, but I'm skeptical that the party, too dominated by lawyers, social workers, and other professionals, will see that sense.
