322 seats predicted for Tories means they could pass legislation with help of northern Irish unionists. Bah.

After a leadership challenge, then subject to no by elections, and only if there is no rebels in there.
Strong and Stable is going to be the worst slogan for decades

won’t last long, never does they are nuttier than scots 😉

Scotland. Tories? What’s going on in yer heid? (I think that’s how you spell it)

East Renfrewshire Tory looks about 12 inbred!

This is brilliant!!! Best night shift ever.

Same!

Ayrshire North has swung Tories to second place with SNP majority down, looks like everyone’s getting a kicking (please for the love of god someone sack Dugdale).

Bugger, Renfrew East gone blue!

bloody snp spoiling the party 🙁

anti nationalist tactical voting. 10 years ago the snp had only a handful of mps. the last election was the freak result

Just saw May attending her count.

She doesn’t look too happy.

Never seen her walk that fast either!

I lost faith in the Welsh after the EU ref. Now losing faith in the Scotch after tonight. 😐

My last 3 votes were Lab, Con, LD. Voted LD today, as a Remainer, disliker of BoJo, Gove, Fox.

Some big shocks in Scotland and London.

I have no idea where this leaves us.

Libs take a seat back…

Where’s my popcorn?

Jo Swinson is back – WTF has happened to her accent?

Lib Dem retakes Dunbartonshire East

bad night for the separatists !

Clegg out

The yoof get their revenge on Clegg. Almost feel sorry for him, but not quite.

Clegg is gone!

Clegg out.

Cleggy gone then 😯 (we all said in unison)

Clegg – oooof!

Nick Clegg gone. Decent guy really.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

I do – he was a good leader for the LD, went into coalition for all the right reasons, vilified for policies beyond his control.

the irony is no coalition no brexit

went into coalition for all the right reasons

Absolute bollox. Proven beyond all argument that he was completely wrong, this is the final confirmation.

I feel a little bit bad for Clegg. He’s not the natural enemy, he just made a bad call when he sold his soul to the Devil.

Clegg deservedly out! His coalition with the tories was a massive mistake and he sold his parties soul for a ministerial car. good riddence to one of the politicians I despise most

Feel for Clegg. Overall he’s one of the good guys in my book. At least it wasn’t lost to a Tory scumbag.

I reckon he’ll be back at some stage.

PLP through gritted teeth !

Can we just leave the Lib Dem/Clegg Coalition for thr 50th time… Nobody will change their mind.

DD – Clegg IS a tory scumbag.

He won’t be back – he will be off to spend more time with his money and all the lucrative things he will pick up on the back of his enabling a tory government

Cable back in

@dantsw13 – agree about clegg; minority party in coalition were always going to be crapped on.
Majority party claim credit for successes and blame minority party for failures.
This will be replicated in coming months.
Very good concession speech by clegg.

Cable back in business, Lab gains in Wales. This is going to go for a while, could still be some big shocks out there. Cable for leader of the Lib Dems?

torygraph knives are out already

Charlotte Leslie gone from Bristol NW.

Nice. 😀

As a constituent of Clegg I can say he was terrible.

Failed to answer any of the three times I wrote to him and only voted 30.5% in the house.

Whatever you think of his time in government his record speaks for itself.

DD – Clegg IS a tory scumbag.

Of bore the **** off TeeJ.

There will not be another coalition.

Lib Dems got it all wrong and wer rightly blamed for the disaster they caused. Now an irrelvance in UK politics and quite rightly. I used to vote Lib dem – I never will again until they apologise.

DD – he is tho 😉
