    BBC are now saying that "80 seats are too close to call."
    Newcastle have beaten Sunderland to declare the first result.
    Labour have held Newcastle Upon Tyne Central.
    Howay the Lads.

    Increased majority too - just under 10% increase. UKIP has collapsed completely.

    According the BBC, the Labour swing is significantly smaller than the exit polls predicted. This is going to be a very nervy night...

    Hard to tell on the safe Labour seats so far. The fun will come in the marginals.

    I couldn't have put this election campaign better than the term you have used. Corbyn not the total disaster expected.
    Hate the tories, but hate labour as much for not being able to win an election on a plate. Easiest and most predictable Tory win ever. Hang your ******* heads you inept buffoons. Sack Abbott the day before things count, corbyn you are an out of touch cretin with a broken calculator, thanks for **** all.

    On the BBC the comment was the there was a swing of 3% from labour to conservative. Labour % vote up 2% Tory up 11%. A swing has to be from one to the other therefore they both can't increase. The actual swing was from ukip to Tory and ukip to labour. I really wonder where they get this analysts from. (Sunderland constituency)

    We shouldn't get too excited. The exit poll involves canvassing just in excess of 35,000 voters.
    An unknown factor are the postal votes which account for around 25% of the total cast.Two of the key marginals
    are Hastings and Rye and Cambridge. Amber Rudd is the current MP for Hastings and Rye.

    She has announced within the last 40 minutes that she will not give any interviews to the media which suggests
    she's probably expecting to lose her seat. Labour are expected to just edge out the Lib Dems in Cambridge.
    Lot of twists and turns to come and the Conservatives are bound to win some of the marginals.

    Long night ahead. Whatever happens no doubt Corbyn has run a good campaign and if the polls are right he could well
    have cemented his role as the Labour leader and the dissenters in the party ought to get behind him or ship out.!!

    I don't really understand all this need for analysis. I'm just going to go to bed and find out the real result in the morning. Preparing to be disappointed like I was last time and find that the Conservatives have managed to secure a small majority - similar to what they had before

    The money markets seem to be very worried that the results could go against the Conservatives.
    The pound has just lost twenty points against the African Bongo bean.!!!

    No, I'm up and glued to the screen. It's fascinating...

    Can't believe the Jocks are going Tory.

    Watching the results, Labour done much better than I expected, Corbyn ran a great campaign, and I have been proved wrong (thank goodness), just wish Labour could have got over the line

    The enourmous irony showing through in the vote in scotland is that the degree to which Sturgeon and the SNP has pushed too hard on the question of independance has stoked the anti-indy vote to support the tories as the unionist party to the extent that the reason why the tories will form the next government is because of the seats they have won in Scotland. It can be argued that it is thanks to Nicola Sturgeon that the tories remain in power. What a delicious irony!!

    I have to say that after the Ref defeat I see the SNP being as irrelevant as UKIp. The reason they exist is gone. All they can now do is prop up (one way or another) a national conservative government. Time for some serious thought for left leaning Scots.

    Scottish Referendum is not going to happen.
    May has now said she's not going to resign.

    As outlined in the Monster Raving Loony Manicfesto she will probably issue every voter
    with a beanie hat so she can continue to pull the wool over our eyes and to guarantee
    Strong and Stable government will relocate to the Tower of London.

    If things couldn't get any worse Farage has said he might have to make a comeback.
    May Day, May Day, May Day.

    What I fail to understand is that the majority Scots voted to stay in the EU like the SDP wanted them to
    and at this election seem to have now supported a party who want a hard Brexit.!!!

    The Scottish conservatives made an appeal to anti independence pro Brexit voters. I guess it paid off. Scottish Labour needs a better leader.

    Labour's biggest concern must be that Ruth Davidson will be next Con leader, how they must be praying for Boris.
