What does that pump out the forecast national GB totals out?
You'd think those figures with Scotland would put Labour ahead of the Tories overall.
Looks like it's gong to finish up:
UKIP 29% Lab 25% Con 24% Green 8% Lib-Dem LOL!
Am I missing something? Even though Labour will do well in London, are the Tories not over performing versus UNS in Scotland? Will that not tip the scales back to the blue camp?

Scotland is smaller than London...
Yes, for sure, I wasn't sure if Labour would need a much bigger swing if Scotland turns out as you were.....

Scotland is already in the BBC numbers.
It's all down to London. Lab needs to beat Con by more than 80,000. Currently lead by 49,000.
is that right about Margaret Beckett? Cos thats a great pub quiz question: Name the last Labour leader to win a Euro election?
I'll use that one if its true! I set our pub quiz tonight and I only used the "name the Gib candidate" as my token politics question. Might sneak the Labour leader one in next Sunday

My arithmetic is a bit shaky at this time of night, but Labour are already 50K ahead in London when 30K behind Con in the rest of the nation.
For London it looks like 3 Lab 2 Con 1 UKIP 1 Green, with the 8th seat between Lab/Con/UKIP.
Cheers. I'm trying to work out if I'll win my SELL bet with Ladbrokes on Labour at 26%. On these numbers, I think I should be ok but am too tired to be sure.

Maybe it'll come down to how many votes can be found in Tower Hamlets — allegedly.
I think Sky added Scottish MEPs without waiting for the Western Islands counting tomorrow as they are unlikely to change the picture given few people live there
Hannah describing the elephant in the room. Regardless of national % UKIP will split the Tories vote and let Labour in. And with vast swathes of the country switching from blue to purple as shown on Emily Mmmmmmmmmaitless's map, dismissing Labour's +9% as rubbish seems rather silly. Not with the kippers running amok

Supporter of Party X says Party X will win.
Primary school standard stuff - listen to Kellner - and note that he is a Labour supporter.

If UKIP is splitting the Tory vote, you ought to be damned worried if any of that 30%+ starts going back, given that Con and Lab are neck and neck.
Except that isn't the case, as you and I both know. In reality, UKIP is taking votes from Labour too, and in large numbers (yes, they're up on 2009 but that's not saying much).
I gather, the no people were praying that Ukip would win one so that they could say Scots voters were no better than those from other parts of Britain.
@JGForsyth: Labour expect to be on 25.7% v Tories 24.5% report @patrickwintour + @nicholaswatt, Cameron would've bitten your hand off 4 that a month ago

LOL! 1% ahead of Con in the euro elections just one year before a general election.

With this Conservative result tonight, its going to get ever more harder to spin that all Ed Miliband and Labour have to do is turn up at the next GE and they will get the keys to No10 with a majority or as the largest party.....

Thanks. If true, that's an impressive rearguard action by the Conservatives.
Bang on the money with that comment. The whole SNP campaign was run on gaining a third MEP with a keep UKIP out of Scotland ticket, Salmond and the SNP Government were desperate to be in a position to spin that they had been immune to any UKIP surge elsewhere in the UK. And they can't blame the only right leaning party in Scotland for that failure as our vote held up strongly despite the UKIP performance.
Mohammed Ansar @MoAnsar 1h An incredible night for the far right in the UK. Amazing things can be achieved with wall-to-wall coverage from the state broadcaster.
United till I die @dennydedog 25m @MoAnsar let's all laugh at Muslims let's all laugh at Muslims la la la la la la la! Face it mo soon as ukip get power your fucked!
Nice people! Still haven't worked out where to put the apostrophe though.
Beaker following the spin line of "great job by Clegg". Yes, losing 41% of councillors this time and 92% of MEPs is such a triumph
The party collectively signed off on the coalition. I went, I was there.
And that may have been the right decision at the time. Now that it has literally gutted your party at council level do you agree with the cabal that Clegg should hold on so you can lose a third or more of your councillors running next year, or pull the plug and save something you can rebuild from?
I think Clegg should go for just before the election campaign.
But what to do if Clegg won't resign is another question.

So Con lead by 31,000.
Have they won ?
Have £60 on that at 11-10 /
Thank you for the best coverage of the elections anywhere.
For London it looks like 3 Lab 2 Con 1 UKIP 1 Green, with the 8th seat between Lab/Con/UKIP.
It's all down to London. Lab needs to beat Con by more than 80,000. Currently lead by 49,000.
UKIP, Lord Ashcrost and favourable boundaries are the only thing keeping him in the game.
Oh and nobody in Labour want's to admit Dan Hodges has been right all along, of course.
A full investigation is needed, and a re-run of the election if necessary.
The Labour leaders who never won a European election: Callaghan, Blair, Brown.
Miliband is in that second group which clearly implies he will be prime minister, as all the others were. Wonderful thing, false logic.
Lab 3, Con 2, UKIP 2, Green 1, LD 0
SNP = UKIP in kilts
Someone predicted that after the locals *whistles*
BBC has UKIP 22 Labour 14 Cons 16
Sky has Ukip 23 Labour 16
Con 17
A community decides its procedures to suit themselves, not for the benefit of outsiders.
The Tower Hamlets result delay in any case is due to a high turnout. The "nutters" send their apologies for having the temerity to actually vote.
Incidentally, you missed out N.Ireland in your religious "nutters" rant.
Let's leave it at that.

With results obtained from 9 London councils, Labour's share is up 14 points and UKIP's up 6 points - smaller than elsewher
Well, London.
At 3-1 each Lab is worth 11, each UKIP is worth 16 so UKIP gets the next one.
Except that isn't the case, as you and I both know. In reality, UKIP is taking votes from Labour too, and in large numbers (yes, they're up on 2009 but that's not saying much).
(A far easier task than the locals !)
Say's it all really.
I was up all last night entering data and I still haven't finished.
I'm a pretty fast typer so it just shows how much data there is to deal with.
Can they read English there ?
