And Nuttall,all my faves going down atm.

Laura Kuenssburg having to explain why the narrative she's been peddling for months has been total crap.

Delicious.

Ken Clarke has won Rushcliffe for the Conservatives for the 14th time.

322 seats forecast for Conservatives, 4 short of majority, in updated BBC exit poll https://bloom.bg/2r7Ez6I" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; #GE2017

I am surprised. And delighted.

To describe George Eustice (Tory for Camborne and Redruth) as frantic would be an understatement #GE2017 #bjtcvote

Recount in Farron's seat. ~400 votes in it.

#GE2017: Hartlepool:
Lab: 52.5% (+16.9)
Con: 34.2% (+13.3)
UKIP: 11.5% (-16.5)
LDem: 1.8% (-0.1)
Was a Tory and UKIP target.


(Thank fuck for that)

Justine Greening (re-elected) it's fantastic she was re-elected in response to question about what will happen next.
I think she's very clear about it.

The BBC there just glibly saying that the Tories can go into coalition with the hard-right DUP as though it's no big deal. #GE2017

Turnout in Ilford North of 53,050 is the highest number of votes cast since at least the 1970s. #GE2017

Voter turnout is likely to be so low this general election that May's result will barely be democratic

Sturgeon, what just happened?

Recount announced at Canterbury. LABOUR ahead by 200 votes which could see the first ever non-Conservative win in this seat.

Sky News has produced its own forecast for the final results. (The broadcasters share the exit poll, but after that, as the results come in, they produce their own analysis.)

They expect the Tories to get between 308 and 328 seats. Their central forecast is 318, which is four up on the exit poll, but four below the BBC’s forecast.

Unionist vote in Scotland saving the Tories and I'm now down to cheap Lidl beer.

Where did it all go wrong?

Are we going to get to blame bastard scotland for imposing a tory government on us?

(It's late and it's therefore okay to say things we shouldn't.)

clegg's lost

Labour take Sheffield Hallam

Clegg's gone.

Ha ha ha ha hah hah hah ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa!

Labour have held all three seats in Wolvo - May 'relaunched' their English campaign there and Johnson turned up early on too. The three seats were, officially/apparently, one very safe, one should have been safe but thought likely to lose and one bound to lose. Held all three. I've been working in NE all week (which is my work constituency) and even after the exit poll the party were pretty sure they were going to lose. Her vote went up from 45% to just over 50%. SW majority went up from a few hundred to a couple of thousand. Good stuff.

Boris Johnson retains his seat in Uxbridge and Ruislip

Reporting Labour loss in Walsall N to tories- first loss.

Labour GAIN Peterborough from Conservative.
Stewart Jackson OUT.

Johnson suggests Tories must do more to listen to people's concerns

He's started.

Liberal Democrat GAIN Twickenham from Conservative.
Vince Cable back.

I would just like to say thank you to the ex member of parliament Nick Clegg for causing me to cut up my Liberal Democrat membership card and flush it down my toilet.

Clearly stabbing Charles Kennedy in the back and moving the party away from its Social Democratic platform into a coalition with the forces of evil has been a work of political genius.

Those of us at the time who warned of dire consequences were banned from official forums and shunned at conference for being 'unremittingly negative' have turned out to be right. Funny that.

Anyway goodbye and good riddance you fucking clown.

Glad Vince is back though. He's cool.

That's closer to IDS than I'd ever want to be.

According to my statistics,he lost.

Corbyn kept his seat
