Personally, I don't give a ****. He's a 25 year old and doesn't see consequences from all angles

I think there is a case to be made to raise the voting age to 26

And yes I did wait to post that one up.

Also, I still have some hope that the students in Sheffield Hallam will get some revenge on Clegg.

I would cheer that even louder. The more "slick" fakers that are out the better. Get some decent people in.

Hopefully Fallon will be kicked into the grass when the Tories get a new leader.

p.s. I'm still predicting a majority.

Tories could well sneak it, but will be the same or maybe even less than what it was before. Shows how disastrous May has been.

Had to sit down again. Priti looking absolutely stunning

Looking flustered - too much makeup there.

Agreed.

She is lovely. Sexy secretary. Serial repeater though. I don;t know why they interview her. They know exactly what she will say 3,4,5, times over and over again. She's been practising all day.

Remember, the polls had the Tories consistently with a 17+ lead over Labour. For us to be considering a hung parliament, is nothing short of incredible.

May has caused me to switch my vote from the Tories to Labour. She's had a terrible campaign.

Always thought it, but this would highlight that Theresa May is the worst PM in my lifetime, and possibly leader of the two major parties. Holds the public in contempt, and looks afraid of the people.

Even non-labour voters must admit that Labour's campaign has been one of positivity and discipline.

I'm not considering it. 2015 exit poll was 316, this one 314.

I'm hoping there is many more like you!

On a serious point, it does show how appalling she has been because a switch to a Corbyn Labour is quite a switch to make.

It had to be disciplined. They have an anti-EU leader and are dependent on Pro-EU votes. They;ve done well to keep Brexit off the agenda.

Yep, another reason why I voted for Labour. It had focus and Corbyn, for his faults, has at least been consistent with his views and policies.

Btw, Peter Keller is rubbish. He has been wrong for years.

YouGov opinion polls had North East voters much the same as exit poll - Tory gaining UKIP voters in that region.

For me Corbyn's message was one of optimism and positivity

May's message was one of anti-Corbyn-isms

Glad I booked Friday off work now as this could get very interesting. However I did get up at 6 this morning so several double espresso's will be required!

Peter Kellner is trying to save his career by on the hoof adding in the shy Tory vote. John Curtice is much closer. Tories will likely be the same as they were maximum 40 majority at a push like he says.

I shall commence my Kwasi4PM campaign tomorrow. See if we can get him there from nowhere like Leadsom although I suspect we will have much more time to build this time round.

3.7% gain for Labour in Swindon North. Cons hold seat but that's a good result for Labour.
