SHERROCK MAKES HISTORY.

Fallon Sherrock has become the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship.

Just look at these scenes, a history making moment for darts.

[Shaun Turner @sturnerstuff]

Best thing about Sherrock’s victory is that it came in a high standard game, not one where the opponent underperformed. All credit to Ted Evetts though, put in a great performance and a gent at the end #WHDarts

Interesting thread of Labour’s lamentable performance

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

THREAD: Why Labour lost (from "After Corbynism"). 1/ Fact: Labour lost twice as many voters to Remain parties as to the Tories. It lost them quickly (April-June). It lost them because Corbyn and NEC dithered over Second Referendum/Remain...

What’s happened to Klaasen’s throw? Feel more exaggerated and even less fluid than usual #WHDarts

[Mirror Politics @MirrorPolitics]

Figures show how Labour lost the election far more than the Tories won it https://t.co/hhQu3bhfAQ

[Shaun Turner @sturnerstuff]

Well yes, but this would mean Labour realising two party politics is over as a first step. The path to PR has never felt farther away. Not sure what the SNP stance is on PR either. Unlikely turkeys will vote for Christmas, but then we voted to Leave didn't we?

Mood possibly not helped by the fact I am in windswept, rain-soaked Bolton for a meeting I have just had an e-mail to notify me is cancelled. Of the three Bolton constituencies, 2 are now Tory (+1 up from 2017 gain from Labour)

[Shaun Turner @sturnerstuff]

This has been common amongst the few people I have spoken to about the election too. Former Labour voters in a lot of cases too. I would like to see the polling on why people felt they could not vote Labour, my feeling is Corbyn and Brexit would be at the top but close.

[Ian Murray MP @IanMurrayMP]

Every door I knocked on, and my team and I spoke to 11,000 people, mentioned Corbyn. Not Brexit but Corbyn. I’ve been saying this for years. The outcome is that we’ve let the country down and we must change course and fast.

[Shaun Turner @sturnerstuff]

@ChairmanFrib I have been tuned out from the entire thing after I could see which way it was going. It's too depressing for words today. A Labour defeat would be one thing, but the break up of the country and a right wing version of Brexit under this bunch of cockwombles is devastating.

[Shaun Turner @sturnerstuff]

Saddened but not in the least bit surprised.

[Shaun Turner @sturnerstuff]

We simultaneously lost the Leave and the Remain vote. That's how the policy of 'constructive ambiguity' has worked for us in the long-term. By the time we got to the election neither Leavers nor Remainers trusted us.

[Shaun Turner @sturnerstuff]

More from the Curtice analysis: "In those seats where more than 60% of voters backed Leave in the 2016 EU referendum,the increase in Conservative support on average was 6%. However, in those seats where more than 55% voted Remain, the party's vote actually fell by three points."

[Shaun Turner @sturnerstuff]

John Curtice's analysis of the result here: https://t.co/0s7NXcg0gK contains this line "Labour,in contrast, finds itself with little more than 200 seats, even fewer than the party won in its previous worst post-war result in 1983." Let that sink in for a moment. Fewer than Foot.

[Dave Allen @DaveAllen1981]

So here we are...

After months of competition and debate, many challengers have failed in their campaign to get a place at one special building in London, but the chosen few now get their chance to shape the future.

The world is watching...

Yes, IT'S DARTSMAS! 🎯🏆

[Shaun Turner @sturnerstuff]

The ironic thing about any future Scottish independence referendums will be watching Remainers argue for breaking away from a bigger union and Leavers argue Scotland are better off in.
