Jeez...I've got Labour people on my twitter feed sniping at Labour all the fecking time and not a single thing about Cameron's stupidity on the net migration target. Anyone would think that we've had a Labour government for the past 6 years!
Sorry - going to bed. Can't take this any longer. Hope I wake up to better news.
If I'm not here, then I'll be in the library. Or the other library.

The circumstances aren't horrible yet. I was always expecting the NE to be far more in favour of Brexit than the people who'd never lived there were predicting.
But I'm now in Yorkshire and the predictions here are far worse than I was expecting, at least in Leeds.
Ah well, time for bottle number two, might as well drink some decent French wine before it gets more expensive.
Round up of Greater Manchester turnouts so far: Wigan 69.24 per cent, Salford 63.3 per cent, Stockport 73.4 per cent, Bolton 70.1 per cent, Oldham 67.99 per cent, Rochdale 65.9 per cent. We are expecting Bury to be the first of ours to announce its result

Manchester has been a bastion of common sense in recent elections (much as it hurts me to say so). Come on guys!
Fluctuations in the Sterling/Euro rate. A slight fall,followed by recovery once the polls indicated a Remain win I think.
Unfortunately it seems to be behind the markets. Current exchange rate from several sources is £1=€1.29 or thereabouts. As the Guardian's live blog points out, this isn't quite as bad a fall as 1992 or 2008. Yet.
I saw the line up of BBC presenters, so naturally went to ITV, which has had only marginal outbreaks of Blame Corbyn. In the interests of balance, I looked in on the Beeb. Oh dear.
