Exasperated, not angry.
Thursday will be work then a meal out and hitting the pub before 10 for the exit poll. Probably stay there till 11.30ish (depending on rammedness) then back to ours with some chums to continue shouting at the telly.
Friday is well and truly booked off. I may get up in time for the England game.

I love elections, love campaigns, the telly, exit polls etc. LOVE IT!
Working Thursday, get snacks and vote on the way home and have a nap.
We’ll aim to stay up but it won’t happen. We’ll likely wake up periodically and see what’s going on. I really really want to see my awful current MP finally get the boot.
My weirdly extra husband has bought a UK constituency map for us to colour in.
Got Friday off and planning to meet a friend for lunch but we’ll see how much sleep I’ve had and whether I can drive/converse/not breathe rum on a baby.

Will be staying up for the Clacton result to see our Nigel elected. The fightback starts here, lads.

But seriously, folks, I'll go to bed same time as usual and enjoy the news the next morning. I can't quite shake off that inherent Reds v Blues football mentality and will still enjoy the Reds trouncing the Blues despite my misgivings and my actual football team being the Yellows.

Bit of info here for the all nighters - couple of early SE England declarations may give us an idea of what’s going to happen
uk.news.yahoo.com
Basildon & Billericay expected at 0015 might be a good marker - a 20K+ Conservative majority last time round, but expected to go to Labour due to the effects of Reform. If the Conservatives hold on there, they may end up closer to 200 seats.
Broxbourne, also around that time, also had a 20K+ majority but is expected to stay Conservative - if they lose that, they're probably on course for under 50 seats.
Estimated declaration times of General Election results: Chronological list
Most results are likely to be declared between 2am and 4am.

...just kids gone wild.
I’ll be at the Pontypridd count, supporting the green party candidate as a count agent. Genuine chance of saving her depositas well.

My instinct would be C4 but Nadine Dorries,
Looks like BBC then because Kay Burley is making me mad just typing and ITV is shit.

I deleted it from the source thinking that Urban probably didn't need to know!
Camilla Tominey and Stephen Dixon as main anchors, Patrick Christys and Michelle Dewberry "at a venue in Essex", and "analysis from former Labour MP Gloria De Piero".

Banana for scale
I'm not going to try to stay up as there won't be meaningful results until so late, but I'm debating whether to go to bed early, perhaps just after exit poll, and set an alarm for 4 (my consituency, a probable swing to Labour, should be called around 4-4.30 allegedly) or not set any alarm and the first time I wake up and it's getting light rousing myself to see what's happening.

I don’t mind sky news at all and usually watch it but I can’t stand Kay Burley.
