Amber Rudd could be out! 

[den]

Clegg could be a gonner

That exit poll looking more stable. Big swings to labour in the south.

Overall the yougov model of hung parliament is most accurate so far.

And only marginally to Tories in North, and mainly from UKIP. 

 

Praise be UKIP look dead in the water.

It looks totally mad in terms of results. I'm going to bed. No idea if we are looking at a hung parliament or a big conservative majority.

[Tom]

Amazing that there's been no seats declared that haven't been holds yet we still seem roughly in line with the yougov polls 

edit as I speak labour take one in Scotland from SNP

[jim mk2]

Would the last person to leave the Sun and Mail offices kindly switch off the lights?

Corbyn-Sturgeon dream ticket in No 10? That'd show 'em!

[Baz]

The exit poll showing labour with a much higher % of overall vote than tories, yet won't be biggest party. Yet another reason for PR.

[Baz]

Talk of Tories having zero MP'S in London

[JBiz]

I need to go to bed this must be wrong!

Not convinced by this!

Thankfully at this point it's looking unlikely

Only because they don't know the next Tory leader.

It was going well but it's looking like Scotland may force a Tory government
