Did my bit today – nice to have my vote matter for once! A very clear sign for a general election IMO as there is no way in a million years that the Tories should lose this seat as this seat is as blue as they come.
I predict an October general election will be called within weeks.
Let’s just get rid of the Tories. The damage they have done to this country is irreparable.
They overturned a majority of 24,000 and it wasn’t even close.
The Tories got *massacred*.
The Lib Dems habe now managed to overturn massive Tory majorities three times in a year. These were all rock solid Tory seats. If they can win there, then no Tory seat is safe.
This is clearly the cabinets fault and not Johnson’s. They must all resign so that competent Johnson can select a more competent cabinet.
Utterly mad. The Lib Dems are a crazy bunch and they have managed to hopefully topple the first few dominos to getting rid of Johnson.
This is GLORIOUS and restores some faith for me. Perhaps people really are opening their eyes.
Wonder which country Johnson will bundle himself to now to avoid scrutiny?
It’s nice to see a Lib Dem surge. Hopefully it can continue into a General Election.

I’m bi a lot of things, but election sure ain’t one of them.
This is a really big deal. News outlets are saying the seat was created in 1997, but seats covering this area have been Tory for longer than that, and VERY Tory.
Im from that area but now in Exeter, Im very happy this has finally happened, we’ve had too many completely awful Torys as MP for this area. I’ll never forget Angela Browning coming to our college and calling the students leaches for wanting better tuition and funding.
You mean those WINNING HERE posters were actually true?
Yet according to my friend it was unavoidable in a global recession and nothing to do with Boris. Incredible delusion.
I wonder if the Tories who voted in favour of BoJo in the confidence vote are starting to regret their loyalty?
Protest votes never amount to anything come general elections. There’s no risk here as the outcome is irrelevant.
Lib-Dems are a Tory, too. Nothing changed hands.
While this swing is impressive and welcome I still can’t get my head around how so many vote Tory in the current climate.
NOW.
As an ardent Tory party hater (I wasn’t always this way mind you), and an ardent labour is kinda useless and also quite toothless/more economically right than I’d like:
I’m really glad Lib Dems are making some ground, but I really, really hope they don’t end up splitting the vote.
The problem with the political left in the UK is they are multiple parties, and right really only have one. Thats a huge issue in FPTP.
That’s interesting. If they move more right, they lose the blue areas to LibDem, but if they go towards centre/ centre-right politics they will lose the red wall.
Being a party so intrinsically divisive doesn’t make things easier, but they knew all this when they elected BJ.
Wait for the Daily Mail to blame Labour, unions, BLM, millennials, immigrants, etc etc.
Thanks Tams . Evidently it’s beyond your understanding that words can be misconstrued. Have a good day.
Partygate has come knocking it seems.
The lib dems will prop up the tories again. Mark my words.
