    Corbyn talking rubbish, the Conservatives haven't lost support, they've increased their share by 7% so far.

    Perception is key.

    But if the Tories do get most seats, or even a slim majority, fact is they are the most popular party, even if they've gone backwards.

    If North Norfolk, Witney and Bath rumours are true, then they will get 12. If they get Kingston too, that makes 13.

    And the DUP hold on in North Belfast in what was talked up as another big challenge from Sinn Fein.

    The unionists got a fright in the Assembly elections and they are turning out.

    That looks like 10 then if they can take South Belfast. Two more than most expected.

    SDLP wipe out.

    Corbyn almost certain to be PM now - if not in next few days than within next two years?

    No, Boris will probably take over now, go all populist tax cuts and spending bilge, yes it will be Berlusconi/Reaganomics rather than fiscal conservatism really but the voters will like it and Corbyn's plans make even less economic sense so it is what we will have to do to keep him out.
