Like that.
UKIP still getting thousands of votes

by temporary21 Thu 8 Jun - 23:48

It's clearly not like that in every constituency

by GSC Thu 8 Jun - 23:49

Tories doing far better in reality than the exit poll is saying so far.

Postal votes making an impact

by temporary21 Thu 8 Jun - 23:50

Very localised results

If amber rudd is in trouble. Then we're still not clear

by Muscular-mouse Thu 8 Jun - 23:50

tories likely to win between 310 and 350 seats.

Even 350 seats that is a big blow to the tories as they were hoping to increase their majority by more than 20.

by GSC Thu 8 Jun - 23:51

Bookies haven't budged on a Tory majority being odds on.

by GSC Thu 8 Jun - 23:53

Fair play to Farron. Remain vote might have some last minute traction.

by temporary21 Thu 8 Jun - 23:55

CLEGG! No!!!

by GSC Thu 8 Jun - 23:56

Love to see the odds on all leaders losing their seats

by GSC Thu 8 Jun - 23:57

Labour up 4-0 early

#wengerout

by GSC Thu 8 Jun - 23:58

New Labour mp looks happy.

Another result short of the exit poll

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 0:00

The first Tory seat
And labour up 11!????

Erm...

Tories on the board in Swindon.

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 0:00

Strap in

This is gonna be bumpy

by Muscular-mouse Fri 9 Jun - 0:01

labour up more then what the exit poll predicted in Swindon.

EIther way its a bad night for the tories even with a majority.

by GSC Fri 9 Jun - 0:01

First seat to be Labour's side of the exit poll

by **ShahenshahG** Fri 9 Jun - 0:02

Looks like the coppers know the result already. Security has arrived outside Corbyn house... or are they going to kill him should he win....? I wonder if the bookies are taking odds on it

pretty sure the Newcastle swing of 3.7% to labour is higher than the poll prediction too.

by GSC Fri 9 Jun - 0:06

No it was a bit down. Labour expected to be a few thousand votes higher

by GSC Fri 9 Jun - 0:08

Another swing to the Tories in a Labour safe seat...

Buckle up. It's gonna be a long night

by Muscular-mouse Fri 9 Jun - 0:09

Horrible night for the tories based on the exit poll. Anything less than a 50 seat majority is a backwards step. and any majority less than 10 is a disaster. 22 point lead in the polls only 4 weeks ago to now fighting to get more mps then they currently have.

by GSC Fri 9 Jun - 0:10

Ok I don't need to hear from Thornbury again.

by GSC Fri 9 Jun - 0:11

That was priceless.

Sat their smug as ****

"You're still 50 seats behind"

".................****"

by GSC Fri 9 Jun - 0:12

Thornbury is awful, bring back Abbott

but that is a success based on the lead up to the election and predictions.

May never needed to call this election and it may backfire and cost her the majority she has or reduce her majority slightly.

by TRUSSMAN66 Fri 9 Jun - 0:15

More fun than I expected..

by GSC Fri 9 Jun - 0:16

It's a success based on polling 20% behind as a opposition party, but that says enough in itself.

This is a successful result for Labour but they remain 50 seats behind predicted. Can't overlook that (indeed as the SNP remain Scotland's biggest party)

Of course it is success because the polls only 4 weeks ago predicted a 100 seat majority for the tories.

You don't have to win to be successful and labour will be hugely successful if they keep the tory seats below 350.

Mhari black is fighting for her seat according to my mate, he says she looks like she's marginally ahead and might just retain a finger hold

by **ShahenshahG** Fri 9 Jun - 0:28

My mate is at the counting by the way he's not sitting next to me scratching his balls

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 0:28

So basically the more north you go the better the Tories do

by **ShahenshahG** Fri 9 Jun - 0:31

I think she's fighting with labour actually so I've no idea

by GSC Fri 9 Jun - 0:37

Vultures already circling around May.

Tories queuing up to go on tv bad Rudd who's ****ed

by GSC Fri 9 Jun - 0:39

UKIP and the Greens being wiped out atm.

Labour not getting the swings the exit poll predicted so far

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 0:39

The swing is all over the place

by **ShahenshahG** Fri 9 Jun - 0:46

Tories reckon their treasury minister has lost her seat

by Muscular-mouse Fri 9 Jun - 0:48

this is a horrible result for May.

She never had to call this election, she still had 3 years to run as PM and now she looks set o weaken her party and lose key members from her team.

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 0:54

Tories don't get Darlington
Apparently a key target

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 1:12

Misses Wrexham tio

by Muscular-mouse Fri 9 Jun - 1:13

Early results indicating a hung parliament or a very weak conservative government.

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 1:15

OUCH. the snp were 16 percent down

by Muscular-mouse Fri 9 Jun - 1:22

nick clegg expected to lose his seat to labour.

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 1:24

Love sacks...

At least it wasn't to the Tories.

Goodnight sweet prince...

by Ent Fri 9 Jun - 1:24

Honestly a narrow Conservative majority would be better than a hung parliament.

Don't think anyone was expecting this, beware the exit poll though.

Come what may, at least we can all laugh at the SNP and Craig.

by **ShahenshahG** Fri 9 Jun - 1:29

Soubry as well apparently

by TRUSSMAN66 Fri 9 Jun - 1:36

Got to be up at 7 but I can't go to bed..

#Earthquake

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 1:43

They are actually REALISTICALLY talking about a labour minority government

Can that... really happen?

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 1:46

Jesus they nearly lost the education secretary

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 1:46

This could be a really bad night for them

by temporary21 Fri 9 Jun - 1:48

TIM FARRON IS UNDER MILD THREAT!!!
