Exactly, I don't think anyone is changing their mind on what colour they vote for, and probably 99% never have - the question is whether they turn up or not, not whether any incidents will swing votes.
Boris could be caught in a NY toilet giving Trump a "Boris Johnson" and next week the folks in blue will still turn out and vote for him. Likewise Corbyn could take a selfie with Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang with the caption "Discussing a new style of communism for the UK!" and the folks in red would come out and vote red bleating on about the NHS before dropping their ballot in the box.
Young people are voting, 1.5 million young people who have lived under the Tories for the last nine years have registered over the last few weeks and rather unsurprisingly they aren't voting for that lying incompetent c*nt Johnson. The Tory vote is quite literally dying out. Old people.
Johnson's Uxbridge seat is now down to less than a 1% majority on current exit polls. It would be terrible if he lost his seat to a young Muslim immigrant. The irony.
Young people may be voting Labour but the old north are turning blue, perhaps for the first time in their lives.
Results coming in pretty much down the Brexit lines (as opposed to traditional left/right lines) as predicted.
Labour losing places like Leigh, Burnley, Blackpool etc is quite astonishing.
