SNP has gained one of the targets as I typed the above!

Con to SNP swing of 2% there & their 6th placed target!

 

[danny la rouge]

Fascist candidate in Glasgow Southside gets 46 votes. Too many, but delighted it's only in the low tens.

 

[danny la rouge]

Sturgeon makes reference to the above.

 

[danny la rouge]

Willie Rennie holds NE Fife for Lib Dems. Not a surprise.

 

[danny la rouge]

Ooh, strong challenge to the Lib Dems by the SNP in Shetland.

 

[Sue]

Willie Rennie holds NE Fife for Lib Dems. Not a surprise.

Who?

 

[brogdale]

Who?

Bloke with the fucking massive deckchair.

Kind of is if you watch him in any debates.

Normal for the East Neuk.

BBC saying Ayr very close...apparently 3rd target seat for the nationalists?

SNP gains Ayr.

SNP taken it by a very narrow margin. Awesome - as it's where I am.

 

[MathFabMathonwy]

Ayr pinched by the SNP by 170 votes!

 

[brogdale]

SNP gains Ayr.

Ratchets up the pressure on blustercunt

 

[Sue]

I'm waiting with shame for my seat.

('My' as in where I'm from.)

 

[MathFabMathonwy]

Ooh, strong challenge to the Lib Dems by the SNP in Shetland.

Blimey! That's much better a showing than Orkney!

 

[danny la rouge]

Yes. It was the safest seat in Scotland. It’s now a marginal.

 

[The39thStep]

Jayda Fransen got 46 votes.

 

[JTG]

Tories expecting to lose Edinburgh Central to the SNP apparently after a record turnout

 

[steeplejack]

not sure what more the SNP could realistically have done so far. A very steady if unspectacular performance overall. Not sure where the majority pessimism is coming from either, I think it might still be one.

Ayr...brilliant

 

[danny la rouge]

Edinburgh Central an SNP gain. Big majority too.

 

[brogdale]

Edinburgh Central an SNP gain. Big majority too.

So is that +4 now, then?

 

[weepiper]

Ruth Davidson's seat.

 

[danny la rouge]

So is that +4 now, then?

Three by my count. Three more gains (and no losses) and they have a majority without list votes.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

The Scots showing England how it's done.

 

[danny la rouge]

Edinburgh Southern held by Labour.

 

[weepiper]

Tactical voting by the Tories, was a three-way marginal.

 

[weepiper]

Recount apparently underway in Dumbarton (Jackie Baillie's seat and another of the key SNP targets).

 

[Sue]

Tories hold Eastwood, Labour vote down 15%.

Interesting, thought the Shetland was poor territory for the SNP
