It was the election she didn’t have to have. Theresa has managed to form a minority government with the support of Northern Ireland’s DUP. According to pretty much everyone though, she blew it…
Same time next year, everyone?
May has failed at the biggest gamble a Prime Minister has ever made since the biggest gamble a Prime Minister ever made last year. #GE2017

Well quite.
The Tories campaigned against Corbyn’s supposed terrorist links, & will govern with a party tied to Loyalist paramilitaries. #GE2017 — Adam Ramsay (@AdamRamsay) June 9, 2017
Enjoy it while it lasts. The ego will rise.

Over 15,000,000 voters would disagree with you.
The @Conservatives might just squeak in. Big mistake from Theresa May to call this election. #GE2017 — William Olive ???????? (@WilliamTOlive2) June 9, 2017
This is the first minister of Scotland tweeting, by the way.

She’s been ripped apart by the right-wing press. Her constituents saw past it.
Humbled to receive an increased majority of over 35,000 in Hackney North & Stoke Newington.
A vote for hope and a better Britain.#GE2017— Diane Abbott (@HackneyAbbott) June 9, 2017

Oi, @Nick_Clegg – have you considered a new career path? You could retrain. How about a degree – ONLY £9,000 A YEAR, EH? .YOU SNAKE. #GE2017 — ⚒️????Lefty Moomin????⚒️ (@EcclestonEnt) June 9, 2017

Well you can’t possibly put them on television. Far too unpredictable.
Watching @BBC coverage on Twitter. Much talk of the mythical creatures called “young people” but oddly, not one rustled up to speak #GE2017
