The BBC are really out of order. Marr complaining that Ed didn't manage to communicate his philosophy. Well, I wonder why that might have been, eh Andy?

McFuck

Dr Eoin Clarke is a fool, a tribal fool, I am a tribal fool at times but at least I know when things are shit. He's insisting Cameron is finished, I wish it was the fucking case. A few careers have finished tonight, fat Dave's isn't one of them. You are quite right...but I would add the word 'yet' ...

Hobiejoe

Fuck it. Kilmarnock is where my Grandad came from, an engineer and a union man.

Bumboils with rivets on.

Swing in the Hobiejoe kitchen back to despair.

On top of which Simon Hughes is splurging his mantra on ITV. Although he is, true to nature squirming.

But the LD's are now an irrelevance.

I was the same last time - and it did me no good then

Didn't someone say something along the lines of "it's not the despair, but the hope that hurts"?

FFS BBC, why weren't you asking Sun editor about the two-faced approach BEFORE the sodding election.

Hobiejoe

Good gods! Dimblebore just uttered the words "...the Daily Telegraph, a Conservative supporting paper"

Now you notice?

Crikey, impressive pictures of huge queues to vote over on the AS blog. One of my locals even reported a queue of a dozen or so waiting for the doors to open at 7am in our little town.

Labour going strongly with the "support of the house line" It has been close all the way through - and exit polls have been wrong in the past. YouGov figures are very different from the BBC’s. The coalition came into the election with a majority of 73 and even if the BBC exit poll is right...

Hobiejoe

I can tell you one thing - I'm not going BTL over there until the picture becomes clearer, I don't think my blood pressure, or indeed sanity could take the gloating.

Here's to hoping that Mistress Hubris works her magic.

Hope this helps raise a smile.....

Crumbs of hope, albeit from the LD's and SNP on AS. Both discount poll.

Hang about, this vote swap thing, didn't it used to be all about Lab/LD swaps a few years ago? And look how that worked out.

There's a whiff of manipulation about this to me, but it's late. A project for yon morrow, reckon.

Alright, I know I'm partisan and I'm tribal but ....damn, we need this man in Number 10!

Actually that sounds lovely. I'm not vegetarian. I do eat a lot of vegetarian food, and a lot of fish or sea food. And that's mostly what I cook. But, I enjoy a meat dish now and then.

Was just deciding what to watch on iPlayer with my supper, and saw HIGNFY. So in this time of scrupulous balance, the chair is Stephen Mangan, public school, Cambridge, with professional poshboy Miles Jupp, and journalist Camilla Long, who is not posh at all, no sirree.

At the risk of sounding flippant, I'd like to say "good evening all". Good evening all. Maintaining the laser-focus on politics that I'm renowned for, and using the statistically and empirically bomb-proof technique of Listening To People In My Pub, I can report that Dave has indeed made a...

Further to that picture of the Bullingdon Boyz in front of the train, I thought at first, given the access platform to the train, and the shiny paint on an old commuter chugger, that they were in a railway museum.

I noticed on his Zen quest TC stated that he lacked a horse. I would like to point out you can simulate having a horse (on the way to the pub) by simply following these few simple steps. 1. Walk very slowly on the way to the pub. 2. Every time you see a cyclist immediately jump up, stamp your feet,...

I see that The Graun, after a whole day, is still flagging up the utter non-story that a Russian destroyer and a couple of support vessels are passing along the Channel on their way back home from the Med. Apparently a frigate has been despatched, and a helicopter "helped monitor the ships"...

Well, well, well, just trundled through the Grauns liveblog.

Still no mention of the Yougov poll. I'm sure they'll get 'round to it. Eventually.
