Tim Farron hangs on, 777 majority.

Avoiding the forecast until Scotland is done. May didn't speak like someone that had any intention of quitting so she'd have to be pushed.

King Boris step up.

Just heard Theresa's speech. Didn't sound very strong and stable. Poor bint, she might be one of the few human beings in the Tory party. A much more nasty leader is needed for that lot.

It looks very much like Northern Ireland is going to decide this.

The more Shinners there are, the smaller the number of seats needed for a majority. And the more DUP there are, the easier it is for the Tories to get the numbers they need.

That said, had Ruth Davidson not played an absolute blinder in Scotland, even the DUP couldn't save the Tories.

Jeremy Clarkson in as deputy PM to round it off.

May mentioned stability over and over again too. Someone get the lady some more stability. Do Amazon sell it?

Interestingly it appears the paper press has misread their readers to an extent. Unusual from The Sun for example.

Would still love a media that didn't push parties via their outlets. Looking at you Rupert...

I wonder if the fallout from all this will delay any sort of headway into further privacy invasion regarding the terror events recently. Rather than diving into that and coming to a rash decision whilst people are still very affected.

Yes certain newspapers ran campaigns based on a personal character assassination tone and this seems to have failed dismally it seems.

Labour voters can always just say Russia interfered. Where's the 11th hour email investigation? This doesn't feel like an election at all. Haven't even heard a single candidate saying they want to grab someone by the genitals.

Seriously though, just watching how mellow this is shows you how overdramatic and ludicrous the US election was.

Just realised that South Perthshire and Ochil was Tasmina Ahmed-shriek's seat. I am so glad she's gone.

Lib dems are talking about brexit being soft now hopefully they will be as ignored at westminster as they are by the british public.

Anyone but himself then..

So excited for all the doomsday naysayer viral Facebook garbage when the dust settles. Brexit 2.0 ft Harold Camping.

Looks like SF have gained 2 or 3 seats, and the rest are DUP, except one independent.
