    Bloody plastic Scousers, turfing out Esther McVey

    I was hoping she would hold on - but her loss was very narrow - unlike most of the Lib Dems going down.....

    Fair play to the Tories on this site, had a mixed night with UKIP but happy some of you are enjoying yourselves. Onwards and upwards

    Very kind of you Brom. Best news is still that the Baggies remain in the top flight this season, no?
    Haha fan of Pulis but I'm a Bromley FC fan and we're looking forward to our first ever season in the conference. Guess I can't win at both politics and football! At least my SNP bets are coming in.

    Hope you're enjoying tonight, incredible night for the Tories. Makes me wonder why I spend months worrying about the polls!

    What other hope could there be? Without being too much more of a bore I don't think it has any hope of working given the results, but it's the only option that can be tried. We are essentially no longer a unitary state, except legally.

    the tories can try and hold on. And lose. Lets face it, independence is coming

    Woops! My mistake. Pulis is just what WBA need. In fact, just what any team that have talent but no confidence need.

    Agreed he's a fantastic manager, so good that you could put a red rosette on him in Glasgow and he'd manage to hold his seat! If Balls loses that'll cheer me up no end

    Will you at least hold another referendum to confirm it at least? After the anguish of the last one, only fair we go through the motions and confirm it the same way it was shot down less than a year ago.
