7% swing from Con to LD so far.

This is what's giving the Tories the keys to number 10

 

[Ted Striker]

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

It wos the SNP wot won it

 

[agricola]

Jim Murphy declaration due shortly.

Just as I open another bottle!

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

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

To be fair, Dan Hodges has always been a cunt.

Brecon you muppets.

 

[Casually Red]

To be fair, Dan Hodges has always been a cunt.

And tonight he's sounding very like an " on message " type of cunt .

'No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.'

Feel obliged to quote Bevan before I retire.

Looking like Farage only placing second - has vowed to step down, so another crumb on a thoroughly shit night.

A favourite of mine too, and heartening that "The Vermin" seems to be in increasingly common usage nowadays.

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.

It would be lovely if you are right. On the other hand, the Lib Dems have a very poor negotiating position this time round and wil have more important "red lines" to defend - like, for instance, getting at least a few ministerial jobs. That makes the 1922 committee more, rather than less, powerful in setting the terms of a coalition agreement and a whipped-in referendum is the absolute minimum they will accept.

We ready for a roar from Glasgow North?

 

[danny la rouge]

Jim Murphy gone by a large margin.

Murphy smashed by 4,000 by the SNP - doubt many north of the border will be shedding tears!

 

[oryx]

[agricola]

Four nations laugh!

 

[belboid]

[ItWillNeverWork]

Little bit embarrassing for Jim Murphy there.

 

[weepiper]

Get it RIGHT fuckin up ye Murphy

 

[Sasaferrato]

Little bit embarrassing for Jim Murphy there.

Just a tad.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Murphy looked almost happy as he lost his seat. Back to Westminster then...

 

[danny la rouge]

Little bit embarrassing for Jim Murphy there.

He said it'd be easy.

His jacket must now be on a shoogly peg as Scottish Labour leader.

If Farage loses, I hope they zoom RIGHT INTO HIS FUCKING RACIST FACE when he hears the result.

Looking likely he's only second - highly irritable interview earlier and reports from Thanet suggest bad news

Bye Bye Nige ..... betcha wish you died in that plane crash now?

Cos I certainly do.

They're talking about a recount. I am praying that I see what you describe above before I have to pass out in a stupor of utter horror at the political landscape I am likely to wake up to tomorrow.....but not likely.
