MPs in the north will be irrelevant this time.

If it's anywhere near that exit poll it's some achievement for BoJo.

At least the DUP are out on their hole now.

@bbcJonSopel If correct, the famous Kaufman quote about the '83 Labour manifesto being the 'longest suicide note in history' will need to be updated #GE2019

NI's departure from the UK was always inevitable. Now it's the same for Scotland.

Potentially looking at the end of Labour as we know it? Don't know how they can be so divided and stay together in the face of such a hammering if the numbers hold true.

Only slight hope now is Boris losing his own seat.

And Dodds losing would cheer me massively, even if irrelevant in the overall scheme of things.

If people want their Brexit let them have it. An extremist Government will hurt them.

HL Mencken said that democracy is the art of giving the common people what they want, good and hard.

Hope the Scottish figure is right.
Time for them to leave the vile Union.

Yeah that massive projected Tory majority will be so keen to give them their referendum, won't they?

Miracle of Istanbul not happening I see. The Exit poll might be a few out but not remotely enough.

Labour have to return to the centre ground. Corbyn will go 2moro, hopefully they'll take their time and do it right. McDonnell might go too, there's a push for the next leader to be female.

Yeah all NI seats are irrelevant now. Quite funny seeing Edwin Poots on BBC now still thinking they'll have any influence with the government.

Scots Court will decide that.

Binding referendum needs UK government approval.
