NICK CLEGG LOSES SEAT is the BBC headline.

Justice is served

One wonders why East Dunbartonshire went SNP a couple years ago really.

Backontrack please keep it up

I think I missed a couple of seats earlier...

They announce them all at once. :roll:

I don't remember feeling this much schadenfreude since Danny Alexander lost his seat.

 

[GusB]

SNP hold Glasgow Central

All part of the post referendum surge. It was always going to be a one-parliament surge that would settle the next time. I hadn't expected it to benefit the Tories as much as it has, mind.

 

[Blindtraveler]

Glasgow Central unsurprising given the huge surge in SNP popularity in the city

 

[backontrack]

SNP and Tory candidates re-elected in Glasgow central and Copeland respectively.

EDIT: Oh, f***.

Vince Cable's got back in.

Labour win in Stroud, defeating the Conservatives - but Labour lose Walsall North to the Tories.

 

[me123]

SNP hold Glasgow Central

IIRC that's good news for them, no? Had seen this forecast for Labour somewhere.

Looks like Vince Cable makes a comeback too. Twickenham declaring for Liberal Democrats.

 

[backontrack]

LABOUR HAVE GOT GOWER! Good news...

Labour gain from Conservatives in Bristol North West.

 

[Blindtraveler]

Cable returning is not good

 

[GusB]

Unconfirmed, but...

SNP hold Dunfermline and West Fife

Edit - now confirmed

 

[backontrack]

Bojo re-elected.

Sammy Wilson re-elected in East Antrim for the DUP.

LABOUR TAKES GLASGOW NORTHEAST!

 

[me123]

Boris is back. Glasgow NE goes Labour again.

 

[Blindtraveler]

Expected if so.

Northern Isles should be declaring soon I reccon, its about their sort of time.

 

[backontrack]

Cable returning is not good

They're not voting for him, but for Remain (hopefully).

 

[Y961 XBU]

Cable kicks a Torie out so am happy in that respect

 

[GusB]

Recount in NE Fife... apparently there are 3 votes in it!

 

[backontrack]

BEN GUMMER IS GONE! Labour takes Ipswich.

 

[backontrack]

Emily Thornberry and Chris Grayling re-elected.

 

[GusB]

SNP hold Lanark & Hamilton East

edit - Rumour: Tories ahead in Edinburgh South West

Recount in NE Fife... apparently there are 3 votes in it!

That's better than expected. I was expecting that to go Lib Dem so a close run would be good(ish) for the SNP.

 

[backontrack]

Damian Green re-elected in Ashford.

 

[backontrack]

Jeremy Corbyn and Rebecca Long-Bailey re-elected.

Oliver Letwin re-elected.

 

[backontrack]

There's a Monster Raving Loony

A Communist in Islington North only got 7

 

[me123]

Corbyn wins his seat - try and contain your surprise everyone.

 

[backontrack]

Dominic Grieve re-elected in Beaconsfield.

John Whippingdale - sorry, Whittingdale - re-elected in Maldon.

Labour gain East Lothian from the SNP.

 

[GusB]

Rumour - Salmond is out

 

[me123]

A Communist in Islington North only got 7

That's because the pinkos are all backing Corbyn [\DailyMail]

 

[me123]

Rumour - Salmond is out

Glasgow North held though.

Aberdeen South has gone blue. That's abysmal. Supports the demise of Salmond.

 

[backontrack]

SNP hold Glasgow North.

Conservatives gain Ayr, Carrick & Cumnock from SNP.

Conservatives gain Aberdeen South from SNP.

Labour gain Cardiff North from Conservatives.
