    Out of the news channels, Sky seems to have a nice balance.

    Andy Burnham coming across really well, far more so than when he went for leader when he seemed too upright and nervous. He's lapping it up tonight.

    Fair play to the Tories who agreed to go on air, getting crucified.

    Steve Baker bizarrely though thinks social media has cost the Tories the election, not policy. Ehh.

    Steve Baker being informed he had a less than 1% chance of keeping his seat live on BBC was glorious.

    Kay Burley, Sophy Ridge and Sir Trevor Phillips is a very good election team.

    You can physically see him actually steaming inside but trying to play it coy.

    I’ve watched ITV although I’ve had to endure George Osbourne & briefly Margaret Hodge.

    I turned BBC on first & couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Mandelson on there so that got turned straight off.

    Channel 4 & watching Alistair Campbell & Nadine Dorries row might have been the best entertainment.

    Campbell is my most disliked political figure. I'd take a weekend at Jeremy Hunts house over him, and I can't abide Hunt.

    Kuenssberg on BBC is comical. Doing her absolute best to downplay the Labour landslide at every opportunity.

    On C4 myself. was pure entertainment with Dorries on. Gushing at the mere mention of boris.

    Shame they didn’t have her and Vorderman on at the same time though. Carol would have mopped the floor with her.

    The only thing that matters is how many MPs they have. Labour have got the mandate and the power, now time for them to crack on.

    Well in reality they did, by having 14 years of failure.
    Think it’s fair to say that this labour campaign would not have won the election in 2010.

    Don't even think its policy' Boris johnson's tenure made sleaze and corruption not only acceptable but the norm and tory mp's were stepping out of line with impunity with their colleagues coming on tv sayin " he/she's apologised so it should be an end to it" its not good enough and the public have had enough and spoken' they're in a position of trust and they've betrayed that trust time and again. Lets see how this lot get on..

    To be fair Mandelson absolutely put the deputy leader of deform in his place. Was quite good to watch!

    Mandelson always comes across as an old style film villain.
