A swing of more than 16% from SNP to Conservative. If that is replicated across rural Scotland, the Tories could yet be saved by their Scottish MPs, which would be quite something.

Yesssssssss! Angus Robertson is out on his ear. Tories take Moray from the SNP.

Tories Gain Southport from Lib Dems.

The BBC is now projecting 322 for the Tories which is one short of a majority. I still think they will scrape home, but if they are short, it looks like they're close enough to be able to lean on the DUP. Who, let's not forget, are almost as Brexitty as UKIP. :D

The SNP is looking at a 15 point drop in its vote.

The Tories are chasing hard to win Perthshire North from the SNP, which is now being recounted for the second time.

Technically, yes, but remember Sinn Feinn don't take their seats. In reality the winning post isn't 326; depending on how many seats SF win, it's about 323.

One wonders in a few days which party leaders might not be there anymore.
