Labour declares for Glasgow Central. No surprise there then. Overturning the Scottish by-election losses so dramatically was somewhat more surprising.
Think I'm going to watch this right to the end now, no sign of sleep coming on.

You realise 'the end' is midday tomorrow? Even I won't be around that long,

High Peak, Leics NW, both decent Tory gains.

Chester, Nunny, Tamworth too.

not surprised Tories got Aberconwy as that is essentially wealthy English, second homes fare round there, and Lembit for Montgomeryshire pissing it (for SKY's Adam Boulton's wry "personal reasons") not too surprising, but Tories gaining Vale of Glamorgan is unexpected, isn't it?

overall i must say the aforesaid Adam Boulton is, all things considered, a bit of a disingenuous, facetious cunt.

He stood up for himself, but he must be embarrassed with this election. Sky's had a pretty balanced rep up till now, but they've been partisan as fuck this time round. Not least the man himself, asking inappropriate questions of Clegg.

very true. i mean it's not often Alastair Campbell has a valid point.

shame as Boulton's interview w Obama not too long after he got in was very well done (within the obvious limitations) and he normally comes across well.

had to laugh at Kelvin Macca casting aspersions about Campbell's taste in herbal cigarettes...

Paxman is being genius :

"thank you david milliband, you're a very clever guy, you've answered exactly the question that you were likely to hear"

"it's about twenty past three, can't we just have a straight answer?"

"can you hear me, David Milliband? See if you can do a bit of lipreading if you can find a monitor"

If the tories can't form an overall majority but are big enough to take on Lib + Lab, what's likely to happen? Will they be able to form a minority government with support from the 'regional' parties to get stuff through? I don't really know enough about the SNP, PC etc to know how happy they'd be to sign up to whatever the Tories want in exchange for some devolutionary concessions...

PC would do it for lots of money, dunno what conditions the SNP would impose.
