In the wake of Labour’s general election defeat Breitbart Associate Editor Milo Yiannopoulos poses an important question:
How does it make you feel, lefties, that me, @JamesDelingpole and @KTHopkins actually speak for the majority?
— Milo Yiannopoulos (@Nero) May 8, 2015
With a well-honed sense of perspective, Alison Flood of The Guardian writes: “some days, stories about the bleakest possible futures are strangely appealing. I’m in the mood for Raymond Briggs and Stephen King – how about you?” How have the celebrities of the Left reacted?
Deeply suspicious of anyone out and about in London who doesn’t look completely devastated today. — Josie Long (@JosieLong) May 8, 2015
Just thinking about which other facist regimes I’d rather live under than a Tory led Britian ………………..

Fucking numb. Can’t feel a thing, like that moment just after stubbing your toe, when you know it will be agony but the pain hasn’t started. — Mark Steel (@mrmarksteel) May 7, 2015
Most terrifying of all is the Tories won as the Nasty Party. What does that say about Britain?
— Kevin Maguire (@Kevin_Maguire) May 8, 2015
Devastated. #lostfaithinhumanity — Charlotte Church (@charlottechurch) May 8, 2015
And in case that wasn’t clear enough, Charlotte continued:
The politics of fear is the politics of control and we’ve given the reigns to the bogey men.
— Charlotte Church (@charlottechurch) May 8, 2015
What’s that about politics of fear? Let’s ask JK Rowling:
.@FLO5S I remember single parenthood under the Tories and @Gingerbread‘s going to be very important in the next 5 years. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) May 8, 2015
And Jason Manford:
Ah well. NHS, it’s been a pleasure knowing you. Thank you for everything.
— JasonManford (@JasonManford) May 7, 2015
In case you were wondering who helped the Conservatives win:
That Russell Brand thing worked out. Woo! That showed ’em! Smash the system!* *Sit at home and scratch your arse. — Chris Addison (@mrchrisaddison) May 8, 2015
We’re all Rupert’s children.

“Game of Thrones” fans will enjoy Jon Snow’s balanced reference to a memorable night:
What happened overnight? My verdict on the real life ‘red wedding’. https://t.co/vQ8UW3Oeg6

So what should the Left do now? Ask their spiritual leaders:
Don’t mourn. Organise. And this time, let’s actually mean it.
— Owen Jones (@OwenJones84) May 8, 2015
Ah well, it’s not called the struggle for nothing. Come on.

For the final word from the Left, back to David Schneider:
What a crazy result. Good night and see you in 2020. Elections, eh? pic.twitter.com/vsIVBROto5
— David Schneider (@davidschneider) May 8, 2015
And to leave on a positive note, from Breitbart contributor Katie Hopkins:
I will be staying in the UK and intend to become @David_Cameron new Fat Tsar. He is not aware of this yet. #GE2015 pic.twitter.com/gpdXanFC84
