If I wasn't so stoned I'd be in tears.

This is the end of the Union, the end of a collective view of the welfare state. England has clearly voted for increased cruelty and not being a fan of cruelty I think I'll head back north of the border.

I wish you could all come with me.

Lab hold Walsall South

Con hold Rayleigh & Wickford
Cleethorpes

2nd count at Gower

Have to admire the Lib Dems keeping some sense of humour as in this tweet.

Nicholas Watt @nicholaswatt
One @LibDems source: we will do better than 10 but not looking good. We can repaint @HarrietHarman minibus yellow + fit in our MPs

No thanks Sky, I'd be too angry with the Nats who are helping deliver Cameron back to Downing St.

Come to Wales instead, a Labour government here, and results show we haven't caught Nat fever.

So do I, but being English (and from the South of England) I don't think I'd be welcome

You'd be welcome in Wales, Robert

Clegg's still there ?

Post by **refitman** » Fri 08 May, 2015 4:54 am

Con hold Halesowen & Rowley Regis with a 7.0% majority a minute ago
Con hold Dover with a 12.5% majority a minute ago
Lab hold Croydon North with a 39.9% majority a minute ago
SNP win Caithness, Sutherland & Easter Ross with a 11.2% majority

But results show a worrying Ukip trend. The BBC Wales interviewer even asked the Plaid rep - don't you find it worrying that the Party of Wales isn't polling above Ukip in Wales?

Looking like the recount for Wirral West might be done #GE2015 pic.twitter.com/r1aWwCQGgB - I really hope mcVey loses.

pk1 · Post by **pk1** » Fri 08 May, 2015 4:55 am

Clegg's going to stand down.

WelshIan · Post by **WelshIan** » Fri 08 May, 2015 4:55 am

Clegg - bollocks.

I'm going to try and get a couple of hours sleep before the kids get up and I have to take them to school.

It's been a very disappointing night, good luck to those staying up and those just getting up.

Post by **letsskiptotheleft** » Fri 08 May, 2015 4:55 am

This can't get any worse.

What a night, even in most scenarios it wasn't this bad, the country is fractured, for good, for some, the plan was executed perfectly.

Hobiejoe · Post by **Hobiejoe** » Fri 08 May, 2015 4:56 am

I noticed Clegg thanked the residents of Sheffield Hallam. As opposed to the student population, presumably. Should've thanked the tory tactical voters as well.

pk1 · Post by **pk1** » Fri 08 May, 2015 4:57 am

Lab hold Hampstead & Kilburn
Soton Test

Con hold Pendle
Chipping Barnet
Dumfriesshire

Sorry, I moan at potty mouthed Nats but sometimes you just have to swear.

Reports there are just 122 votes in it, for Bury North.

I have 100% Scottish blood but if you think I want to live with those nutters in the SNP, think again !

I'm off to Wales

Right. The sky is lightening. Going to see if I can get a couple of hours of shuteye.

I've been trying to ignore that. I haven't ventured much off this site, am feeling too fragile.
What are the % totals so far ?

Wirral West is a Labour GAIN.

Another small mercy.

We've been stitched up by Murdoch/Cameron & SNP.

Now hearing that Balls declaration “too close to call”. So perhaps Ed Balls might have clung on

Thanks for the totals.

Looks as if we can't blame the Greens for splitting the vote, only 2.9% at the moment.
