    I have to find another MP to be rude too, now. Other Lincolnshire/Newark MPs...you have been warned!

    Whatever the politics always had a good, professional, relationship with Lincs FM, even when I was being abusive toward him.

    Very dissapointing not to see reelected, despite our consistently positive campaign. Thanks to all those who helped us!

    Odd - I can't recall marching on Parliament chanting filth when Blair won in 2005 with barely a third of the vote. Must have been at work

    Of course, if the result had gone the other way Tory voters would just get on with it

    One of the nicest guys in politics, and someone who deserves to me in the Commons. Good luck to the Halifax team!

    We fought a great campaign, with a great candidate . Disappointed with the loss, but it won't dampen our spirits.

    So sorry to hear the result - without you, none of the infrastructure investment in Lincoln would have happened.

    Thankyou to all my team & supporters, & voters, across the beautiful & friendly constituency of Lincoln. It has been an honour & a privilege

    Getting impression a lot of hipsters in my timeline don't understand that Corbyn lost, May is still PM and they ain't getting any freebies.

    At least we won't need to spend too much time taking our lamppost signs down...

    The final cleaning of spit from our campaign HQ windows before we hand it back to the donor. A gentler kind of politics

    Fascinating fact - Mrs May has more votes than Tony Blair got in his 1997 landslide. Blair - 13,518,167 May (so far) - 13,650,900

    Corbyn: "Theresa May lost and should resign." Interviewer: "But you didn't win either. Maybe you should resign?" Corbyn: [silence, blinking]

    At some stage, there should be an inquiry into systematic vandalism of Conservative posters by opposition activists. Inexcusable.

    Theresa May has just increased Con's share of vote by 5.5% - more than any other Con leader since Margaret Thatcher in 1979

    Lot of hubris from Labour when, in fact, they lost....

    Election guru John Curtice trying to cut through pro-Corbyn hype: "Labour has lost this election as badly as Gordon Brown did in 2010."

    Uncompromising message from DUP. They'll keep May in power. No deal with Lab as long as Corbyn in charge. Just got this from a DUP source:

    So sorry. Please fight again. I'm sure there will be another General Election very soon. Parliament needs you.

    Nope - thank you for many years of public service (which I hope has not come to an end).

    Thankyou William & all our volunteers, esp. in who ignored the smears & abuse

    Biggest disappointment last night was losing . A champion for the volunteer party & backbenchers. Plus a great MP for Lincoln.
