I don't think I've been listening properly and my brain is functioning in a way that I'm not totally happy with. My question is this: why are the SNP losing votes and seats, sometimes to the Tories? The Scots hate the Tories. Mostly.

George Osborne is worth watching!

Yeah, I'm on ITV at the moment.

Maybe I shouldn't have said "stupid" earlier, but it's certainly naive to assume a result that mirrors the exit poll makes for a strong Brexit negotiating position for the UK given the timescales involved and the massively different agendas of the parties involved, and the heavyweights of Osborne and Balls have just said the same.

People change their mind based on circunstances and Ruth Davidson is hugely likeable.

Recount in Foyle in Northern Ireland. A Sinn Fein gain from The SDLP on the cards.

I meant in this campaign alone.

The left wing writers who'd criticised him over the last two years either disappeared or suddenly became his mates.

Within the last couple of weeks perhaps, but very late in play. For 2 years he's been fighting 90% of the media.

Any political party involved will prepare for Brexit failure, so that any negative results and perceptions from Brexit will be blamed on the other parties within a Coalition.

Exit poll currently near enough bang on.
