🧵 2/3. I'm not gloating, I believe in #EqualityforAll & this is sickening but I consolidated my various pension funds into a SIPP before #GE2017 & they have been managed by an American funds manager since spring 2017. This was in anticipation of the downside to #Brexit if it went ahead. This was my 2017 general election 'subvertisement'. Allport's book is as relevant now as 70 years ago.

Five years ago today, I was working in Labour HQ on the #GE2017 campaign

In two days’ time the manifesto was going before the Clause V meeting of 80 delegates for sign-off, before its launch the following week

Seeing rumours/speculation online that Jo Swinson might resign before the General Election, as the national polling results for the LibDems is so bad. I can't see that happening at this late stage. However, after December 12th might be a different matter.

I'm also hearing that the SNP campaign in East Dunbartonshire is going quite well. So, even if JS survives as leader, she may no longer be an MP.

For the first time in many years, I haven’t woken up to an overturning of an expected election result which then ruined the rest of the day, week, month…

Good night everyone, I'm hoping for a Labour led coalition, but will settle for a hung parliament tomorrow #GE2017

Also fuck gerrymandering...

Also can we please rescind article 50!? Can't see Corbyn doing that though.

Four British newspapers/tabloids for tomorrow about #GE2017.

Happy to learn that freaking people out on security and threatening human rights make politicians loose in UK Congrats ! #GE2017

#ExitPoll jointly for #BBC, #ITV and #Sky predicting a #UK #HungParliament with #Tories as largest party. Caution: this could be completely wrong but it’s all we currently have.

This is interesting. #GE2017. Tories on top,. but still down compared to 2015. Weak mandate for May.

#GE2017 #exitpolls:

Conservatives: 314

Labour: 266

SNP: 34

Lib Dems: 14

Plaid Cymru: 3

Greens: 1

Ukip: 0

Others: 138

And this is how these results would compare with 2015.

Conservatives: Down 16 on the 2015 seat result

Labour: Up 34

SNP: Down 22

Lib Dems: Up 6

Plaid Cymru: No change

Greens: No change
