Soy Adrián

What on earth are you talking about? No marginals? I'd love to think you were making a case for PR, but I doubt it somehow.

Unless you're running the Labour Party's Facebook account, then you would have done far more good spending less time on here and more time in your nearest marginal seat.

Christ, imagine how unbearable you'd have been if we'd actually won. Then again I'd probably still be drunk a week later.

It was indeed. On the students point - I was a student for four years and I never came across anyone who was planning on voting in two constituencies. Denying students the option of voting in whichever seat they feel more "at home" in would be a completely retrograde step, regardless of the fact he's just obviously bitter.

Would love Wednesday to finally do it. I agree that Middlesbrough will be the strongest of the relegated trio - Monk looks like an solid appointment and their squad is decent. Slutsky at Hull is an odd one.

I can't see him being their style at all. Can't think of anyone off the top of my head, Silva from Hull was perhaps the obvious one and I wonder whether he might be thinking that he should have turned Watford down.

Ironically, from the data published by YouGov it looks like people who were in employment were more likely to vote Labour. (the Tory vote was kept afloat by the retired, obviously)

That makes Hart going to West Ham more likely then. Not sure it's wise - Adrian proved himself again in the last few games so keeper shouldn't really be out priority, and he'll be on big wages.

I'd echo that. May would have still won because she could have played it relatively safe and reassured Tory members that she could be trusted to carry out Brexit. In other words, her key message from the GE campaign would have actually been useful because there wouldn't have been any other big issues to discuss. Leadsom wouldn't have been effective enough to exploit any weaknesses.

I would genuinely love to know the image of me that you've developed.

I wasn't aware I was so high up in the party, someone should have told me.

Yes, it was very good. I had misgivings going into it with both Corbyn's team and his most vehement critics, but both largely stepped up and knuckled down respectively.

Labour in Manchester Central, and all the other Manchester seats. In where I used to live in Sheffield, we did a clean sweep for the first time as well.

You do realise that he'll be happy, right?

I'm going 44 to 36, 70 seat majority. Assuming the polling average is very slightly off in favour of the Tories due to last minute swing to the incumbent.

It's not that simple, though. Firstly the economy has slipped down in people's minds as this campaign has gone on - it's usually pretty much the biggest issue in most elections, but this time more coverage has been on Brexit and public services (because of what the two main parties see as their strengths) and obviously security. In 2015 it was arguably the main factor in the election - the Tories were still relentlessly pushing their "Labour crashed the car" line, which is less effective now as they've continued to miss deficit targets and the New Labour governments recede from recent memory. Labour was always going to struggle in 2015 with the conditions like that because there was no clear strategy throughout Harman and Miliband's tenures. We probably could have done better, and maybe even won, with a bolder strategy if it had been implemented right from the start in 2010 but it wasn't done and the conditions for Corbyn in that sense are more favourable this time around.

What about the other 99% of civil servants? The 2015 Tory campaign was outstanding compared to this one. For starters, the manifesto then was deliberately designed to be so innocuous that no one would talk about it and Cameron could instead focus on his strengths.

The concept that a civil service job is a job for life is woefully outdated.

You really have no idea about anything, do you?

How did you work that one out?

Which is that?

What were you even attempting to say with that?

Labour were competitive last time, so that's not inconceivable, but the UKIP vote falling should still deliver it for the Tories.

The SDP in has basically been taken over by former Kippers, at least in Sheffield. Why are we even speculating whether the Guardian might endorse the Tories? The Lib Dems perhaps on the basis of their EU stance, but it's highly likely they'll back Labour despite their antipathy to Corbyn.

Well this is a trainwreck.
