no that is soooo Boris....

He had 70% of the vote last time. If he loses it will be a huge blow. Nobody can lose that much support surely?

Big test of Ian Hislop’s reach in the north east.

I used to be an all nighter on these things but maybe it’s because I’ve never felt so disappointed with our politicians or the fact I have a 3 year old but I’m in bed already and don’t give two poops.

 

[The Clamp]

I’ll be checking periodically through the night but I don’t think we’ll be seeing much before about 4am?

 

[Bry Nylon]

As does bbc r4 if you prefer to lie in bed and drift in and out

PM sent. Just popping the car on charge.

The juxtaposition on the Newsnight sofa …

Two squabbling politicians, interrupting each other.
vs
Intellectual, knowing John Curtice.

Easy 107 councils tonight lads, no excuses. Looking forward to waking up to a new Labour government (not a New Labour government… well, actually kind of… oh never mind).

Mitoma hat-trick, Rayner with the other 104. UTA!

They stopped that when Stoke urchins larked around with giant inflatable penises and dolls.

It's got 107-0 written all over it.

I don’t believe that live feed is really from Harlow. I can’t see a single dartboard or moody Lonsdale singlet.

 

[LamieRobertson]

If I wasn't working tomorrow and already knackered I would be tempted but as it stands I'll struggle to keep myself awake much later than 10pm.

I'm going to take the day off for the General Election though.

I’m not working and I’m not tempted either

Ah great….if I’m struggling to sleep I’ll turn it on…should get me zzzzzz

 

[Pavilionaire]

By the weekend we'll have a better idea of the impact Reform UK might have on the Conservatives at the next General election.

I'm thinking Rishi will not be having a great bank holiday weekend.

 

[Weststander]

Beaten by the same old chatter, little action, so off to sleep.

Need to work out a plan to stay awake on GE night ….. Red Bull?

You’re struggling? Professor John Curtis looks like he’s slept in a skip.

19 councils declared so far. The Tories have lost overall control of 2 and are down 72 councillors already.

[Kalimantan Gull]

Was watching, I rather miss Huw Edwards.... Kuenssberg is fine and knowledgeable but she doesn't have that kindly aunt/uncle feel about her that the likes of Edwards and Dimbleby had
