And East Dunbartonshire has returned to the Lib Dems. I'm pleased about that, Jo Swinson seems nice. She was the MP here before 2015.

Well, at the moment the Tories' running total is one up. Long may it continue.

Whoever one voted for the biggest mistake politicians can make is taking the electorate for granted.

Well I'm starting to think the only way theresa may could have thrown this election away more then she has is by campaigning with a red rosette and right now I'm pretty angry both at the way she handled this campaign which for someone with her experience was utterly pathetic and the fact that talk of boris for leader is back.

Yep, I am shocked at how awful she has been. One thing is for sure she won't be leader of the Tory party at the 2022 election. Tories are brutal with their leaders. I wonder what odds you'd get on her still being in charge 12 months from now.

Yaaaaay!

Tories are winning seats in Scotland that didn't show up in anyone's projections. Their Scottish performance really could save the day.

And now Aberdeen South.

SNP seat losses hits double figures.

SNP lose Aberdeen South to Tories.

I give her six months and some justice that the writer of the manifesto has lost his seat tories are in trouble here and the young ironically after calling the older one's selfish for the EU vote have done exactly the same in their voting hoping for a cash windfall and not bothering to check if it's even practical.

She could be gone in weeks! The Tories seem like they'll make it across the line but this isn't what she, or anyone else, expected. She has lost her gamble and I think she'll be out soon surely?

With more than 300 seats now declared, the BBC has updated its forecast. The Conservatives are predicted to end the night on 318 seats, eight short of an outright majority.
