The exit pole predicting no overall majority.

The graphics seem to be working better for Sky and they are brighter too Jalima. BBC a bit Radio 4 (which I love but then I am of a certain age).

Channel 4 is good as well I'm just switching back and forth. Frightened to miss something!

Labour got a swing in Swindon of 3.7%
A lot better than expected.

Dimbleby said he's never known so few results being in at midnight. It must be because of the greater number of votes to count.

Enjoying Channel 4 with Paxman et al.

It's almost worth going through all this pain just to listen to David Mitchell....

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 00:09:10

Same here. And you can switch over during the ad breaks.

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 00:09:41

A comfort break for Ann Widdecombe. Brilliant!

Thornberry has been on both sides, and she looks as if she's had a drink.
I don't blame her, smiling all the time.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 00:11:23

Emily Thornberry looks shattered.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 00:12:12

Cross posts but I hadn't thought of that.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 00:14:34

Channel 4 is always good for news - small budgets keep them on their toes.

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 00:14:54

Kenneth Clarke has just called the North East the rustbelt area!

Of the seven results so far UKIP have lost their deposits smile

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 00:23:12

Night Jalima - just seen you are going.

I don't think we will know until four or five o'clock and I am not sure I can stay up that long!

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 00:24:55

Nor me it is so annoying I'm feeling decidedly jaded.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 00:26:41

Some big hitters seem to be in danger for the Tories and some of the good guys (in my opinion) look as if they may be back for LibDems.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 00:28:12

I think I may have a coffee to keep going for a bit whitewave but I don't know how long. I do feel a whimp.

Tegan2 Fri 09-Jun-17 00:28:56

I do hope so GG....

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 00:29:56

When you think about it the more you look at it the worse it does look for the UK. As they are saying the Tories may well chose to have a leadership election, no one has a mandate, if the exit poll is correct. It really is just dreadful.

Did you see Gardiner - I know he was cross but he had a point I think

Tegan2 Fri 09-Jun-17 00:29:57

...I don't drink caffeine much these days so a strong cup of coffee keeps me up all night....

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 00:31:35

Oh yes coffee -

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 00:34:24

Fox!!! Blimey I'd forgotten his existence. All popping up tonight - me me me for leadership!

Riverwalk Fri 09-Jun-17 00:36:05

I expect he's been busy getting all those trade deals!
