That 21k might mean the greens beat the tories. Need to remember to check that later.

 

[brogdale]

'kinnel, governing French "socialists" on 14%. That's only double the LDs!

BBC confirm Newark win for UKIP on 33%, Con31%.

Votes for trees? You gone Green?

Might be their best bet, they're down on their vote in both declared regions.

Please, can't see it on BCC site.

Lib Dems third in Eastleigh

Robinson has just told Davey that they're fifth in the SW as it stands.

That face.

That face.

And that includes winning gibralter to boost their numbers, without that they may well be sixth.

Excellent

Twitter is saying Nick Griffin has lost his seat. Here's hoping that's correct.

Sky reporter at Manchester count says he has conceded he has lost seat. He is at count building apparently.

It's not just any old forest. It's Sherwood forest. That means the men in green are voting UKIP

How merry.

Doncaster; UKIP pip (Ed's) Labour. 35:34

Sky reporter at Manchester count says he has conceded he has lost seat. He is at count building apparently.

His line has been to pretty much concede defeat even before the count, blame UKIP, call them a mirage and try to convince people that the BNP will be around to regain that vote once 'the Mirage' is gone.

 

[free spirit]

the 6th MEP slot is going to be tight in Yorkshire & Humberside, looks like either Labour or UKIP will end up with 3, with the tories on just 1, and Greens just missing out.

Labour currently edging it, but only just.

Also, the reporter on the local news obviously doesn't understand how the system works.

I like the idea of Nick Griffin versus a mirage.

 

[Red Storm]

Lib Dem MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber and former vice-president of European Parliament, Edward McMillan-Scott, tells the BBC he has lost seat and Lib Dems have been "wiped out" in the region.

I thought I'd mentioned that, but obviously didn't even feel the need to mention that the lib dems were fooked.
