People in Blackpool South should hang heads in shame. So sorry to be losing Gordon Marsden fearful for our most vulnerable in society (which Blackpool has many) and our young people’s future. Very sad day.

Let's be honest - Corbyn's manifesto was a joke, his policies were the same as they were in the 70's.

Those policies were history in 1979 when Labour was defeated in the election by Mrs Thatcher.

So let's get Brexit done.

It's not going to be straight forward & there's going to be a few fallouts and disagreements.

But the public voted for it once and now they've voted for it again!

Corbyn should of backed Brexit and he may of stood a chance. he couldn't listen to the people who voted leave in the referendum . so why would people vote for him.

Think you’ll find that people voting for change in Burnley and Hyndburn are ordinary hardworking folk ( me for one) who have had enough of MPs that don’t respect their opinions and believe in what the Conservatives stand for and don’t want a Marxist running the country.

I see the debate about voting in pen or pencil has been settled. It seems the method of choice this time was to make a cross in the blood of the poor.

Mark Fairhurst - Facebook

I'm really confused as to how they won.... #GeneralElection2019
