That would depend on the 'others'. 26 at the moment.

They need enough (or enough abstentions) to ensure they could get a Queens Speech though the Commons.

In my office writing up a six page supplement for today's paper.

Been live blogging from the count in Hastings since 9.40pm.

Tired.

Sadly for a Tory gain.

Just two more hours then bed, then back up to cover the borough council count.
