A correction to the statement "all certified results are expected holds" - Labour has picked up one seat from the SNP. My bad - it's a seat that has been Labour as long as I've been alive and only flipped last election.

Edit - got a bad case of typo fingers tonight.

Nah - safe seats always report first. Gerrymandering is another art we perfected before exporting it.  :tongue2:

Bookies just shifted the odds on Corbyn being the next PM slightly in his favor. Not that it's much use to know that, they're all shut.

May appears to have seriously miscalculated when she called the election.

So far that chart doesn't bode well for her.

Tories should have gone with Boris.

Those attacks I thought, did a lot of damage to her. That seemed unforeseeable. But I may be wrong about this.

Saw the conservatives gained a seat in Aberdeenshire West.  I'd thought that there weren't anymore remnants of conservatism in Scotland.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
