    Doesn't stop a select few in here from wanking all over them on a weekly basis.

    Twitter thinks it will happen. So it won't.

    Also this. I mean, the SURGE could be real but the likelihood of it manifesting itself in anything other than an increased Tory majority seems incredibly unlikely.

    He's impressed me but then Diane Abbott is terrifying. And he's slept with her.

    Think about it. It does not make sense.

    The Twitter seethe this time will probably be in the form of FIX and the evil Tories stuffing ballot boxes, which will be a shame as genuine disappointment is funnier.

    I might eat a baby on Friday morning to celebrate.

    If Magic gets this right, let's agree to pretend all his awful nicknames for football clubs and players are in fact genius. He'd deserve it.

    Hang on. It's not like he predicted it straight after Theresa announced the election when we all thought it was going to be a Tory landslide.

    He's called it after a shit election campaign by the blues and a few days before the election.

    Hardly mystic fucking meg.

    Magic's posts in the election thread suggest he didn't actually call it either.

    I'm not. But there's a possibility, and that's more than I'd have predicted.

    Magic was voting Tory initially, wasn't he?

    Astonishing achievement by Corbyn, it has to be said, given all they he's faced.

    It's not hard given that he actually had a manifesto and campaigned on it. May just said 'Strong and stable' a lot and hoped it would stick.

    Well, he wasn't. A terrible Tory campaign, terrible leader, and he's matched Gordon Brown.

    He was elected MP.

    Nobody is elected Prime-Minister. Technically.

    Nobody disputed he'd get back in Islington, surely.
