SF unscheduled press conference happening... soon?

Biggest shock of the election or simply power-share details?

(please note I know very little about the politics of NI so apologies in advance for any stupidity)


EDIT: Nope

The DUP are sounding worse and worse the more I hear.

Add in what sf may do if they take the deal and it gets better. What better excuse to end absenting your seats than just to oppose them on a vote by vote basis? I think ni came in at 10/7 so it's close enough to be a spite veto, particularly after your allies have just had a whole thing about the ira.

SF have said there's "A snowball's chance in hell" of them giving up absenteeism.

One can dream though.

Exit poll suggests hung parliament.

You were right about the reality tv.

Just got home from work & tuning in (on Twitch of all places).

Why are they asking about Clinton?

Congratulations!

ONE MORE DAY.

Everyone ready for a round of crippling depression on Friday as we wake up to increased Conservative majority?

If you're actually getting depressed over any shitty tv soap opera, my advice is to seek professional help

Fair point.

It does seem odd that the Tories' latest strategy seems to be attacking costings when their manifesto was the only (?) one uncosted.

Paxman interviews Corbyn and May in 30 minutes.

Post-match edit:

Both performed pretty well - Corbyn got a hammering on his past and May got hammered on policies.

Listening to Theresa May talk makes my brain start wandering in record time though.

Yeah the current plan doesn't really seem to be achieving it's stated aim.

It seems like the Tories have been cutting everything that they possibly can which begs the question... where is the money going?

And if there simply is no money how are the other parties' more optimistic manifestos going to be funded?

edit: In trying to find my own answer to the above questions I have started (trying) to read the party manifestos.   

I like your logo.

So apparently May took a bit of a beating on the Andrew Marr show. I didn't watch it but maybe i'll try and catch up this evening.

News of course overshadowed by the bombing. I wonder if that's gonna give a boost to the Tories. Not exactly coming off as strong or stable right now.

There must be some members of the Conservative camp that are thinking a loss at this election would make a lot of their immediate problems someone else's.
