@Londonist: To everyone asking, ITV has declared Streatham and Dulwich and West Norwood

 

[agricola]

Lucy Powell out-Tristraming Tristram here.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

this result makes Brexit much less likely.

Why?

 

[princess_k]

I'm not watching itv - anyone else? Can you confirm?

 

[kebabking]

where do Labour find these people - they are utterly delusional...

 

[xenon]

I don't know why I keep posting updates on something that everyone else is watching on telly anyway.

Shoulda been a penalty.

Just waiting on vauxhall then where Kate Hoey should be a shoe-in

 

[Indeliblelink]

battersea results?

 

[belboid]

Go Burnley!

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Must admit, I'm a bit sad that the local Labour MP has gone. He helped out a lot with where I work now, helping with funding proposals and helping present them etc. The new SNP rep is a former Tory who knows hee-haw about the constituency, but that's how it goes.

 

[redsquirrel]

Same old Labour line "SNP voters let the Tories in" definitely going to win people back to them with that

 

[Casually Red]

Gordon Browns seat gone SNP.

Fucking yeayyy....no unionist party can now claim to speak on behalf of Scottish interests with any shred of legitimacy . The unions in tatters . And so is shitty labour . They should shut up shop and just go join the Tories now . For all the use they are .

 

[shifting gears]

battersea results?

Conservative hold with swing towards tories

 

[princess_k]

Edit: double post

 

[JimW]

Go Burnley!

Where was it on target list?

 

[princess_k]

@Londonist: AND Vauxhall votes Kate Hoey back in.

 

[belboid]

Where was it on target list?

20 odd,iirr

 

[Eggby]

Swinson loses seat to SNP.

Blimey I thought you said said Swindon lost to SNP for a mo

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

Dan Hodges on Sky: labour lost in Scotland because they "moved to the left".

 

[shifting gears]

Well done Lambeth. Small consolation but still...

 

[Favelado]

Where is the currency kidney?

 

[oryx]

Lucy Powell more or less conceding that Condomface will remain in downing st.

Whole scenario too hideous for words. Think I will go to bed.

 

[agricola]

Why?

Getting an EU Referendum bill through the Commons will be a lot more difficult with a minority government, the power of the Tory backbenches will be less if their votes dont really count (in the way that they would in a small majority government) and if Farage doesnt manage to get elected again UKIP will be less of a threat. Cameron will be able to do what he probably always wanted to do (and did in this Parliament) - kick it into the long grass whilst promising to do something about it when he can find the time.

 

[princess_k]

@londonist on Twitter are quoting itv as their source for streatham, dulwich and w.nor and Vauxhall as their source...but I'm watching bbc

 

[brogdale]

Off to Bedfordshire.

Night all.

 

[Casually Red]

Dan Hodges on Sky: labour lost in Scotland because they "moved to the left".

It's becoming a mantra now, like it's co-ordinated . An agenda afoot methinks .

 

[butchersapron]

Labour take Ealing Central & Acton from tories - 4 pt swing needed.

 

[danny la rouge]

Jim Murphy declaration due shortly.
