Their vision will be a softer withdrawal from the EU, undoubtedly. No-one in NI wants a border, so actually the DUP's involvement in the negotiations could very well soften the blow to a degree. Just not as much as many would have hoped for.

I don't see how it makes any difference. If he is conscious, what he must be experiencing is tantamount to torture. If he is truly not conscious (in the absence of sedatives), then there is a essentially no prospect for neurological recovery. Either way - going to the US is futile.

Make that three years ago. It was only 2015 when the SNP made any significant gains in Westminster, and that was on the back of an independence referendum and was clearly always going to be a bit of a fluke result that was unrepeatable. Obviously they'd have hoped for much better, but losses...

Theresa May: "I will now form a government... A government that will provide certainty". :lol: She confirms an informal agreement with her "friends" in the DUP. It was a brief statement from a clearly angry and unhappy woman.

May's speech is imminent. She has left Buck House and a podium is waiting. Cherry on top for Labour today - they gain Kensington (by apparently a very narrow majority indeed).

Mr Farron and Ms Sturgeon gave speeches, both highly critical of Mrs May. Mrs May has just left 10 Downing Street to have an audience with HMQE2 regarding her ability to form a government.

I have no idea on the exact conscious level of the child - but from what I understand he is not completely unconscious and I find it unlikely that he is entirely unaware of his surroundings.

I just had an extreme breakfast this morning. Was very tasty. I do love post election coverage. Sleep deprivation makes for brilliant telly.

Wonder what the odds are of Farage being UKIP leader in a few weeks? :roll:

I would agree. Poor Charlie has no prospect of any meaningful recovery. My use of the word meaningful is debatable. Even with this experimental therapy, recovery would be a miraculous prospect. All the while, this poor child is suffering through a long term intensive care stay. I do not have...

Paul Nutter has resigned. In his speech, he is highly critical of Theresa May calling the election in the first place.

Sounds like a minority administration with informal support from the DUP. So much for strong and stable. Her position is in jeopardy, although it seems not immediately.

Sounds like they're in discussions with the Conservatives already, unsurprisingly. Just come through that she's going to HMQE2 to seek permission to form a government. But not a formal coalition, so she won't hold a majority.

The whole point of the election, according to TM, was to minimise uncertainty. To create a strong and stable government. That's worked out brilliantly, hasn't it :lol: She is solely responsible for the uncertain times ahead. The irony is priceless.

According to the BBC, the lady's not for turning. TM will not resign.

Mixed here. Thrilled to see Theresa May in jeopardy and support for progressive politics on the up in England and Wales. Really disappointed at the rise of the Tories in Scotland (more so that than the fall in SNP support). Scotland will hand the Conservatives a real possibility of holding onto...

Lucky, that should have gone Lib Dem. So SNP will be happy here, albeit far from complacent. Two votes - that's unbeleivable. A lot of tight margins tonight I noted. Lots <1000, plenty <100.

Likely that NI will have unprecedented relevance in the coming days and years. Probably a good thing for them. FWIW SF will not be breaking their tradition of not attending parliament, so even if they could join a coalition of chaos, they won't.

Boris and Drumpf. Could be entertaining. I've long since given up hope of competence, so entertainment value is top of my agenda.

Scotland's only Tory 24 hours ago has unsurprisingly held his seat - Mundell holds Dumfriesshire. He's now got some friends to play with.
