The whole conservative manifesto was 'Labour is worse than us'. That is not winning manifesto, that is fear mongering/gaslighting. They truly deserved this results.

Gosh, the relief over the prospect of not having to constantly see Rees-Mogg's face in the news anymore...

Jacob Rees Mogg. So glad to see him go into the wilderness.

Grrr, I can't seem to find any footage of Therese Coffey being booted out. I was singing and dancing when I heard; she was one of the most callous creatures in that joke of a party.

[TheRealist]

Shapps has always been useless...goodness knows why anyone put him in to a ministerial position. Glad he's gone.

[tomhodgson]

well done to the former tory mps that actually spoke and congratulated their predecessors

[michaelflinn]

Finally we have a benefit of Brexit. Goodbye Tories

[sphinx]

So pleased Mogg is out, gone and flushed away.

[Broadswords]

Deluded thinking they were a success, fail and you’re sacked simple. How Hunt survived is beyond reason.

[MauraNolan-kyxr]

I can’t understand how Badenoch and bravemann still in parliament what is
Wrong with the voters?.

[juliesheard]

The tories have broken tjis country. Labour have a huge job now to put right the foul mess they inherit.

[donnaspeer]

I actually thought the Tories would have lost more seats.

[thinking]

Buh-bye to the haunted Victorian pencil, to the limp lettuce, and the sword carrying admiral.

[christopherwhittaker]

I’m not particularly excited about the Labour victory but I’m delighted to see the back of the tories. And what a real bonus that Mogg and Truss in particular lost. I’m so so happy they lost.

[RodFleming-World]

The Tories had two jobs: make a clean break with the EU and put an end to immigration. They failed to do either. This may be a disaster but it's one they brought on themselves.

[kellypaws]

Former Prime Minister? I've had rashes that lasted longer than she was Prime Minister. And they were more useful too.

[roserose-gtif]

Coffey finally orf to her cow field 👏🏼

[shorelineboy]

When are the media going to mention how well Jeremy Corbyn did. Well done Jeremy

[patsydf]

Take note Donald Trump and see how these proud Brits concede to the winners, it's the civilized way of behaving.

A lot of Famous Tories now unemployed and unemployable. Who in their right mind would give a job to Liz Truss? She is an accountant, but you would not get her to do your tax return of be incharge of the cash register at the local charity shop. Her last book showed thatperhaps she could write fantasy stories for Tory children !
