Mr. Johnson’s Conservative Party, long identified with Britain’s upper classes, captured a swath of blue-collar districts that for decades voted for left-leaning Labour politicians who positioned themselves as champions of workers.

No the election wasn’t rigged. Once again there is no conspiracy theory, only masses of people who crave work but feel the country and the economy has left them behind. The Ds in the US better get real about what happened in 2016 if they want 2020.

Might as well kick yourself in the ass voting for Conservatives.

Folks are starting to figure it out in the UK, if ONLY enlightenment would happen in the US....

The debate is no longer about the class system It's about immigration and the LGBT debate Blue collar voters feelings on those issues align with the Tories and they believe that the liberal left leaning media and the labour party are forcing its views upon them Unfortunately

The Liberal Democrats split the vote in key areas which gave the conservatives the advantage. Stupid voting by the Lib Dems tbh

marylouisemcgi7 UK Conservative Party landslide win may have caused Pelosi to lose vulnerable Trump district Dem Hse members support for impeachment; forcing her to pull the plug on a Hse Judicial Committee Impeachment vote for now. Might explain Nadler’s postponing of tonight’s committee vote.

The same thing in the US. Dems have lost popularity among blue collar workers

It’s the change process, who would’ve thought that

Conservative UK landslide election win should send US Hse Dems running home to their Mary-Jane stashes for holiday relief.

Ok, there always has to be a first one. Let me start NotMyPremierMinister

Was the election hacked?

Or the election was rigged.

I smell FRAUD

Just wait until the NHS completes its implosion and gets privatized. Wages won't change to account for that, jobs will be lost thanks to Brexit, and they will get f*ed over, but hey, Corbin is gone, they've got their own Trump and the rich will get richer thanks to those votes.

LOL. They’re gonna regret it.

Sounds like America in 2016!!!

They made their TRUMP statement GREAT BRITAIN IS GREAT AGAIN

SScalpings Why does this sound familiar?

🖕🏻to Labour 😂

Just wait till they lose their health insurance.

The tide has changed. Hello Scotland! Hello Wales! Hello Northern Ireland!

The New Union Label: Female, Progressive and Very Anti-TrumpSara Nelson wants to break the AFL-CIO out of its male-dominated, blue-collar rut and return the labor movement to its activist roots. Good to see an in-depth piece on a rising leader. I do think the reporter tries to cast her as a self-involved climber where they'd cast a man as ambitious & driven. Plz be aware of that dynamic. Women need to be even more ambitious to make a difference & it doesn’t make us bad. Not too wise to break unions “out of their blue collar roots” precisely at the time manufacturing is making a huge comeback in America, is it? Does Nelson even know anything about the problems of working people? That’s too bad. Trump is good for labor. She would do well to find a way to work with him. More divisive behavior

Britain Votes in an Election That Will Set the Course of BrexitBritish voters headed to the polls in a election that will likely determine whether the U.K. will leave the European Union at the end of next month or hold another Brexit referendum. Britons have already voted the fate of Brexit. The problem is that they have a gov’t that refuses to listen to the people. Time for them to start marching in the streets and take their country back. This feels similar to our upcoming election. Will the voters prevail? They didn't last time they voted. They got a huge resistance.
