Another political battle with an unexpected outcome. No clear majority for the Conservative Party, seven Sinn Fein MPs who won’t be taking their seats in the Palace of Westminster, ten DUP MPs who will be seeking deals with their Unionist buddies and only one elected Green Party MP in the whole of the UK. Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour Party leader, now has enough MPs to form a credible opposition. UKIP have had their day, and the Ulster Unionists and the SDLP got battered.

Frankie Boyle’s New World Order TV show last night took the piss out of politicians with his usual, outrageous, deadpan comedy. Have a look on BBC iPlayer.
