The result

Well just in case we don't win as many seats as I hope

Miller is making a huge amount of sense

Newcastle and Sunderland always fight to have the first return.
All those students should give Labour a much bigger majority.

On Channel four they have Dominic Raab, trying not to look embarrassed, and arguing with Gina Miller.

The righties have gone to bed?

There hasn't been a single result yet.

I've already had half a bottle of wine.
Should I make a herb tea, or have a bottle of beer?

I'm shaking; can't believe it. It's like brexit night but in reverse. I daren't even hope the poll is correct.

Brexit talks start a week on Monday what a bleeding shambles

Beer!!! It will steady you!!

Problem is I can't/daren't go to bed, because the last election it looked okay for Labour before I went to sleep, and when I woke up....

Both Jen - it looks like it could be a long note.

Sunderland 61% turnout - six minutes for them to equal the record.

Yes dj,, ,my thoughts exactly.

No mandate for a hard Brexit whatever happens - yeeee!

Okay. It's quicker as well. Don't have to boil it!

Blimey, don't know where all those commas came from - must be my hand shaking with excitement.

Long night Jen - not long note!

Maybe she'll turn round tomorrow and say, 'actually I've changed my mind about an election so let's leave things as they were....'

Magnificent typo/Freudian slip prosecco!

No going to bed tonight folks! Hung parliament would be fantastic result. It has to be said that Theresa May had a dreadful campaign. Apparently the Sunderland count is usually the first out, but the turnout was far higher than usual. Expect all counts are going to take longer. Thornbury has just said, 'I think she should go'.

Paxman has just said there could be 80 seats too close to call.

Whatever happens there is no landslide - I reckon May is toast

I thank you, mcem

Newcastle first to declare.

It's a bit chilling watching police with guns walking round at Sunderland.

Chi Onwurah first to be elected for Newcastle. They beat Sunderland to the count.
Majority more than all the other parties put together.

Labour held Newcastle

Newcastle not following the exit pole.

Labour hold - but not such good news for Labour apparently
