Labour mayor rejoices as former Scottish Tory leader describes exit poll as 'massacre'

Ruth Davidson, the former Scottish Tory leader, has described the exit poll as projecting a 'massacre' for her party. But it was not as bad as it might have been, she told Sky News.

She said: 'So actually, 131 – while there is no dressing it up, this is a massacre – they’ve actually, if this is right, pulled a few back from where they thought they were.' The Labour party was predicted to win by a 'landslide' in the 10pm exit poll, regaining dozens of seats lost in the 2019 elections

Great to see the obnoxious, corrupt, slimey Tories being sent packing.

Looking from the States, those Tories were some circus show, particularly Boris and Liz, and the whole Brexit calamity...

I wonder if I am the only one who genuinely mixes up Ruth Davidson and Susan Calman?

It’s like choosing which of your enemies you want to become your boss. This country needs change and we won’t get it with either of the main two parties

The hysteria on the DM website is hilarious. Looks like their absurd shrieking headlines didn't work. Doh.
