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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
