    Check out this poster. I guess DUP would argue the Tories "answer to us" now. (H/t )

    And presumably my increased majority in 1997 was due to Tony Blair. And increased majority in 2015 to Ed Miliband?

    Replying to @MikeGapes
    Your increased majority is down to the popularity of the party, under Corbyn, not your own personal popularity. Think on that.

    Theresa May made this election a referendum on herself, then lost it. Seriously, how can she carry on as PM today?

    Nationalist voters in NI who voted Sinn Fein over SDLP put the DUP into power with Tories. Those 3 SDLP seats would've denied her a majority

    Oh yeah. It's all fault of those Labour MPs re-elected with increased majorities. Would have been much better for us to lose. Goodbye

    Just a Labour candidate.

    Our support was for Corbyn & the manifesto, not necessarily you. I don't feel like you acc represent me, you were just a Labour candidate.

    Bizarre and unrepentant speech will not have helped Theresa May's chances of staying for long. Wrong tone, no humility, no reaching out
