Very difficult to be the prime minister if you can't get elected to Parliament

The Lib Dem's original parties used to be a major force in UK politics. Just remember that.

It's April 2020 and l'm STILL getting a kick out of watching this appalling woman receiving her come-uppance...

[stuartkelly]

Well that's when you get when you are preachy

[truebluebears]

Bye bye Jo have a nice time on the social

[chriscolabella]

Lost to a woman so can't even claim it was sexism.

Got to give her credit for one thing - it took Nick Clegg ten years to go from being chosen as party leader, to earning comparatively huge polling numbers, to suffering an electoral drubbing, and finally to losing his seat, but she managed to do it all in just five months!

Apparently she's going to ignore the vote and stay on as a mp.

After her dismissal of 17.4m leave voters in 2016 as nothing more than a focus group, what a wonderful sight to wake up. I suppose all those SNP votes don't count eh Jo 😂😂🤣🤣

This is why you don't use "Stop Brexit" as your slogan.

One of my personal biggest highlights of the night alongside the Tory majority, it was all just too sweet 😁😁😁

[MurderBotGaming]

Serves her right for ignoring democracy

[maulporphy]

God, what a lovely moment. Democracy lives.

[injest]

I found her attitude towards the referendum condescending and disrespectful and I voted remain.

Oh wot a beautiful morning, for politics, Swinton out , I'm standing to be you're next priminister, I'll crack the jokes ! Ho Ho Ho !

[Tremenator]

"We will immediately revoke article 50 and remain in the EU" - - - Proceeds to lose own seat. That's what people think of that.

[robd]

This is oh so wrong. Let’s do a recount as I believe the first one was wrong . Sarcasm is poetic

[reececollison]

Whenever I’m having a bad day I just come back to watch this wonderful video 😂

[visnamacpherson]

Every cloud has silver lining. Glad to see back of this annoying woman!

[Longshanks]

Thank you Boris.

This is the best Christmas present ever. :)
