The exit pole predicting no overall majority.

In a way I'm sorry about Anna Soubry; she was one of the few that fought my corner bravely after the referendum. However, it does mean that my son's vote did count for something [in fact I'm there tomorrow/today looking after my granddaughter].

Osborne has got to be awake now. It's his job as editor.

Pleased that Mhairi Black holds her seat.

Well done your son, Tegan.

Campbell said it's an outside chance that Labour could be the majority party.
Campbell's says it's a rejection of a hard Brexit
Cor we may have the glorious situation of no Brexit. I think I'm getting hysterical. Glad Ana or rose aren't around or I'd be slaughteredgrin

...if only Heather Wheeler [my MP]could get ousted. Also Derby North was a very small Conservative win last time; hoping my old friend, Chris Williamson takes that seat.....

Interesting argument on 4.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 01:42:02

Justine Greening just held her seat.

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 01:43:02

Rupa Huq back. Good. That was the power of tactical voting.

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 01:44:43

What the hell must Brussels thinking?

Corbyn I take my hat off to you. I voted for you but went through a period when I doubted I'd done the right thing, what I misunderstood was that once you were able to speak to the UK without the filter of the gutter press they would so much like what they heard. You are a star.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 09-Jun-17 01:45:33

John MacDonald on 4. Interesting.

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 01:45:59

John McDonnell is beating Ann Widdicombe.
It's called democracy.

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 01:47:00

Why has Alastair Campbell gone to ITV?

durhamjen Fri 09-Jun-17 01:48:05

The only gain so far is Labour from SNP.
Shame it's not from the Tories.
