Exit polls, first results and the biggest winners and losers - here's how 'the most important election in a generation' unfolded overnight as it became clear the Conservative party was headed for a strong majority while Labour faced its worst results in decades

The Guardian YouTube network:

You can't win a democratic contest promising to cancel a democratic referendum

"This is OBVIOUSLY a VERY disappointing night for the labour party" = LMAO!

[Benzknees]

Jo Swinson, Anna Soubry, David Gauke, Chukka Umunna, Heidi Allen, Dominic Grieve, all going. John Bercow already gone. Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonald & Momentum all put back in their box. Oh dear...

Jess Philips being heartbroken is the best Christmas present I could have asked for.

The Guardian must take some credit for Johnson's victory. Their constant support of Labour Remainers and anti-Corbyn smear campaign worked a treat for Johnson!

[Jojohumf]

He lost because he wouldn’t get Brexit done, the Brexit voters were a force they underestimated.

"I want Momentum gone. Go back to your student politics". Spot on.

[weepingangel]

You know whoever put this together at the Guardian was salty AF

[pleaseignore]

Well Guardian, you got what you wanted. Enjoy.

[chome]

....along with the Guardian's reputation! Backing the loser, obsession with identity politics etc....

[damaristighe]

Tragedy strikes The Guardian. Happy days for the people.

[chunt]

My condolences to Jeremy corbyn and Diane Abbott.
🤣 cheerio 👋🏻

[peregrineslim]

And who could forget the BBC's contribution to Johnson's victory with their comprehensive failure to abide by any notion of impartiality. Bravo!

[billygrey]

LMAO - it must be hard reporting on the labor party losing when the extreme left wing Guardian so badly wanted it to win !

[richardignatowicz]

How times change. Boris ousted by his party, Labour back in!

[BlackRose-viyg]

Lol, the guardian and it's constant peoples vote support, lol, here is the support for it!!

[houseofshuffles]

I just wonder if Labour could have done any worse under Elmo or Lord Buckethead?

[GlobalBeautyTube]

Labour is officially the pleb party. Yes, you pleb!

[mangomerkel]

Well, this year there will hardly be any blue wall at all.
And I am a center-right Conservative from Germany, but I would vote Labour...

[InquisitorThomas]

Am I the only one here who’s watching this video because there’s a man wearing a trash can and Elmo in the Thumbnail?
