    Are we seeing a mirror of the USA election. Theresa went after Scotland and the North and neglected the Tory heart land in the South.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    Possibly.

    George Osbourne says that Cons could have lost Battersea and Croydon Central.

    No, noone knows what's going to happen, it's great!

    We're likely to see some Con losses in the Midlands and possibly in London, so I think we're unlikely to even have an idea of what will happen for some hours yet.

    Like (I assume) Hamish, sat here with a bottle of Scotch watching eagerly!

    A bottle of Pinot noir has gone down quite nicely. On the coffee now to stay awake.

    Unless the exit poll is catastrophically wrong this is a nightmare for Theresa May.

    The exit poll is looking spot on at this stage.

    The exit poll may have underestimated the youth.

    I am slowly savouring a glass of two of my favourite election night single malt - Glendronach Parliament - and being unbearably smug at Mayhems downfall.

    :D
