Amber Rudd might be in trouble in Hastings apparently.

FFS, I wasn't going to stay up as I was expecting a Conservative easy win. Going to be a late night now.

A lot of egg on lot of faces of the exit poll is inaccurate. But if it's right then May got to go.

If, and I think its still a big if at the moment, May is in trouble and there is a change of Conservative leadership we're going to end up having another bloody election aren't we.

It's not only that but there has been active revolt in the Parliamentary Labour Party since Corbyn took the reigns. Imagine what could of been if people didn't organise a mass resignation which included Colleen Fletcher.

Surely her days as an MP are coming to a close as well if the Labour supporters can have their say on who represents them.

I think a lot of labour MPs will be ruefully reflecting on trying to destabilise Corbyn or they would be looking at government right now.

Nearly an exact match to the exit poll, very impressive if correct.

The SNP losing over 20 seats would be the icing on the cake if true.

Very unlikely but expects a small loss in seats. It was a near wipeout in Scotland for all the other parties in the last general election.

I had a feeling it wouldn't be a Tory whitewash.

Gonna be an interesting night now.

I know, I was living up there at the time. My guess, or hope, is that unionist voters have wised up since then and voted tactically en masse. Angus Robertson losing his seat would be especially sweet and it may well happen.

Well at least it looks like the SNP have taken a damn good thrashing. There is a possibility that Salmond will lose his seat.

Well if the exit polls are correct it looks like my prediction that the Tories would make gains in Scotland are correct.

The currency collapsed with brexit and leave voters were blasted so now do we blast labour voters? The truth is the vote is what it is in any vote. The currency is a side show.

I still think tories will get the majority. Exit poll said hung parliament is 2015 and was wrong. It's not always right.

Labour have said no coalition. I think they'd rather force another GE.

I think they would prefer to form a minority government and make agreements on a policy by policy basis than force another GE.

No they hate eachother. Another general election for the autumn is the call if it's a hung parliament.

Tories made a massive error putting may as PM. They needed a brexit person to lead the ship not someone who campaigned for remain.
