    Labour hold Darlington. That's good news as the Tories targeted that seat.

    That's a big hold that: Darlington was a massive Tory target.

    Scotland is going to be really interesting: SNP losing seats to Tories, Lib Dems as expected, but also Labour surprisingly on course to gain some.

    I just wish Labour's own politicians could let go of their bland, middle ground, Tory-lite policies and get behind Corbyn!

    I think that is changing now though - Jack Straw and Douglas Alexander, both of the New Labour regime, very very complimentary about JC and the campaign.

    First Welsh result is my constituency and as expected a Labour hold for Nia Griffiths. No turnout figure yet but I'm expecting to be in the high 70s.

    Why can't we have an election on Friday - I've got to work in 7 hours!! (apologies to those who work on weekends)
