    It seems like most/all 2010 Con gains are having the MPs returned with massively increased majorities. Sorry Nick.

    There are some potential Con gains from Lab in Midlands...

    Telford, Birmingham Northfield, Derby North, Gedling, etch

    Heard a rumour earlier that Edgbaston was also a possible gain
    It would be a pity if Gisela Stuart lost.

    With hindsight, we can now say that Ed ordering the biggest tombstone in history was a prescient move

    Yes, but typical of Labour wasting all that money on engraving platitudes on it. He should have kept it blank like his piece of policy paper.

    If he's managed to win his seat that would be very irresponsible, just handing one of the few LD seats to Labour.

    Gods, I cannot believe I called this one so wrong. I had really hoped the SNP might not be totally triumphant, just mostly. I really thought the LDs could hold low 20s at least, which I thought was fair on them.

    they won't gain anything from Con outside London at this rate.
    In Eagle's seat and Wirral South there has been a good swing to Lab. Maybe Esther is less secure than the over picture is indicating. Or maybe the Tories concentrated their effort in WW and will have a better result there than in the 2 next door seats.

    The Tories might be rejoicing now but the Tory party will be destroyed by losing the referendum in two years' time.'

    In fairness to the Tories, we knew that the SNP were going to win a huge number of seats and a referendum was going to follow at some point regardless of who won in England. Now there's just going to be less pretense otherwise from the SNP.

    Why did we even both with the IndyRef, seems like it was just a pointless delay right now.
