One hour to go. Think I'm going to put the laptop down and find something non-election related to watch to keep my mind off it. Then BBC at 9:55, will probably be back here after the exit poll. See you on the other side...
Why the fuck does anyone in this benighted country ever travel by train? The useless bastards have delayed my train so that I won’t be at home by the exit poll. I hate them. Yes I may have had a drink. But it does not excuse their incompetence.
Amen
I assume that the delay is caused by Notwork Rail rather than the operator, since most delays (ex Guard strikes) are down to signalling, track work, lack of track capacity etc - all of which are managed by the only nationalised part of the operation.
Where's the original Tweet then? Why has it been deleted?

Actually I think nobody should be making capital out of this on either side. She does not look well and that is something I have a huge amount of sympathy with right now. Disagreeing with her politics is fine (and I do) but not how she looks or dresses.
The issue is, from a Labour perspective, if she's sufficiently unwell to know that her shoes don't match and they're on the wrong feet, then should she be putting herself up to be shooed in in a solid Labour constituency
Yeah, but her shoes were fine and matching. The photo was faked.
My postal proxy ballot arrived at 4pm today. After the first one “got lost in the mail”. Third election in a row (second general) the council disenfranchised me.

Who cares? Burn it. Burn it all.
That has been known to happen from time to time in South Africa.

I agree. It is a shame certain posters (Lab and Con)did not apply the same rule to Jo Swinson.
My wife, who is as centrist as is it is possible to be, has had one comment on Swinson - she needs a professional bra fitting and stop the sagging. Other than that, Ms Swinson is wallpaper I’m afraid.
Edit - iOS loves correcting Swinson to Swindon. Bland? Dull?

You may not be JS’s biggest fan, but surely you must agree she’d be a better Prime Minister than Rachael Swindon.

I don't think Labour is that bothered who does the top jobs just so long as they slavishly toe Corbyn's line. Competence doesn't come into it.

Can you not go to the polling place?
No, I am overseas and proxy is for close family members only, of which I have none near the constituency. It’s a familiar tale from so many I speak to currently based overseas. It’s a super safe London red seat. But still. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why some of these seats are super safe.

You can watch early 80s music video playlists on my YouTube channel if you like. 😊

That’s a bit like saying somebody’s got more fiscal integrity than Ian Lavery.

You've not been following this have you. Oh, I forgot, you're a LibDem.

I wonder whether the exit poll will show a Tory majority but with a wider range than normal in seat numbers .
I'm still not sure what they'll do if the confidence interval includes a hung parliament. They might only say Tory majority if the lower bound is above 326.

I had the Swindon problem too. So I went with Jo and predictive text turned it into joke. At least with IOS we have fun emoji. Here’s Mogg 🚼

Where are you getting your info from?
Twitter, so who knows what is real!
Everyone was in agreement on here until you came in
I might need to charge my phone, as speedy reverse ferret on exit poll may be needed. It turned me from a modest red to a modest green last GE. The odds were over an hour to change to Odds on NOM. I have a bit of my stake float ready...

Express, telegraph, metro as well as Mail all still carrying the story, and there are multiple photos. Your claim this is fake news, is fake news.

And Ave it projects:
CON to win by small majority although there is material uncertainty and possibility of a hung parliament
CON 44% LAB 35% LD 11%
CON about 335 seats
LAB about 235 seats
LD about 15 seats
SNP about 40 seats
Others about 25 seats inc NI
Good gains for CON in England and a few in Wales, maybe going backward slightly in Scotland
LAB losses to CON and SNP
LD maybe a few off CON, unlikely any from LAB

Tories 320. HP nuttiness ensues.

I demand Rudolph.
That last sentence makes sense in context, trust me.
How about I knock one back every time the Lib Dems win a seat?
Plus I am sober.
That should keep both of us nice and sober...
We have been 1.4 down to 1.22 up to 1.67 and back to 1.4 £17.6 m traded
