Labour’s vote is completely imploding, and a significant proportion of it is switching directly to the Conservatives.

What would be the point of Theresa May taking part in any TV debates? She’s 36 points ahead of her rival for prime minister

Can Labour MPs declare independence from Corbyn and run as a separate party? Or do they and this country have to go down with the fool?

I would say Con majority well over 100, but I’ve been wrong twice about Corbyn, so I’m going for 78.

People asking from my final prediction. Tory majority 110. There you go Jeremy Corbyn. Don’t say I never do anything for you...

The actual result was a hung parliament with no overall majority. Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour won 40% of the vote, the biggest increase in support between elections since 1945.
HOW COULD THEY ALL HAVE BEEN SO WRONG?
