They have a few decent vote getters and the rest are paper candidates. They are just a weaker version of the Lib Dems.

This positivity is not shared on my part as the BBC seem to be saying Tories will exceed exit poll numbers

Turnouts of high 70's for all the North East constituencies. These numbers are un-heard of for the North East. If the trend happened in 2015 we'd be sitting in a Labour majority government right now, this is only benefiting Labour

Starting to believe the YouGov poll more than the Exit one now.

If so then we wont be needing Lib Dems for a Labour coalition. It's an outright Labour/SNP win.

after some worrying signs that the exit poll was in fact absolute sh*te, Labour actually outperforming it now in a couple of constituencies, Swindon North there in particular.

@ptr_yeung

IMPORANT: YouGov's model predicted a swing to the Tories in Sunderland. Also predicted them getting fewer seats than the exit poll

This is the first election where council elections aren't happening at the same time so we're talking about a 4am finish, rather than 6am, 7am etc.
Don't say that! I only have cider until 5ish!
