Well, the election's over. I voted remain on the 23rd of May. We'll find out the results early Monday morning. I would like to thank everyone who voted for a remain candidate; you have made Brexit less likely.
The EU have said repeatedly they won't renegotiate. They can't now anyway as they're in ther dying days of this commission and moving over to a new one. Corbyn is deluded, like all Brexiteers.
Seriously, is he ill? He appears to not know what he's saying from day to day or understand the message his senior cabinet colleagues are feeding the waiting media.

Boris Johnson is entitled to his own opinions, and to express those opinions. But he is not entitled to his own facts. Why do politicians think it is OK for them to lie when it isn't for anyone else?
Nom we should nto criminalise free speech. But we should continue to criminalise fraud: deliberate lies told with the intention of gaining an advantage from deceiving people.
Whatever view you take on Brexit, we must not try to close down debate. Contending opinions and vigorous argument are the essence of democracy. We should trust the public to decide on the merits of a political case. We should not try to criminalise free speech.
@rniportal @alexwickham They've seen the results now and Labour has indeed haemorraged votes.
They will continue to do so until they become a remain party.
@SebastianEPayne Labour are not leave enough for leavers and not remain enough for remainers. Utterly predictable and the two-faced bastards got what they deserved.
Yes, exactly. Labour can either switch to becoming a remain party and thrive, or they can continue their two-faced position of pretending to both leavers and remainers they're on their side, in which case they will be annihilated by the voters at the next GE.
You're not losing votes to Brexit Party, you're losing votes to Lib Dems and Greens from your 80% Remain supporters who have given up on you. And STILL you ignore us, worrying about Leavers! Unbelievable.
What we need to watch tonight is Brexit Party + Tories + UKIP versus Lib Dems + Green + Labour + Change.
If the latter gets more of the vote #EP2019 is a huge mandate for a #PeoplesVote with the option to Remain.
BBC reporting @UKLabour's vote share at 13.6%, their worse result in a national election since 1910. @jeremycorbyn is the worst Labour leader in a century. #EUelectionresults
@britainelects Lib Dems would win @jeremycorbyn's seat of Islington North. And that's EVEN WITH the remain vote split between LD, Greens and ChUK. Remain goes from strength to strength.
Tories now going to try to win back Brexit Party votes & will do this by pursuing a hard Brexit.
Labour now going to try to win back both Remain & Brexit Party votes & will do so by sitting on the fence & trying to appease both sides.
Pick a side @UKLabour#EUelections2019
If Lib Dems + Greens + ChUK had stood as a Remain Alliance, it would have come top, winning more votes that the Brexit Party. Remainers whose egos prevented that should take a long hard look at themselves.
Talking about #DeniedMyVote, many broadcasters keep saying that EU citizens in the UK have a choice of voting 'in the UK where they live and work' or 'at home', by which they mean the country of their birth.
Let me just spell it one more time for you:
THIS. IS. OUR. HOME.
🏡
Tory government arrogantly presumed UK would not take part in EU elections, & therefore failed to send out necessary forms. Consequently 2 million UK residents who are legally entitled to vote are disenfranchised. A legal challenge may ensue. I hope so.
