    Nervous for Michelle Gildernew now.

    Nothing in FST as usual. Elliot was on and said it could be another hour.

    Would be a fantastic night is the entire border region stayed ‘green’.

    20 votes separating Gildernew and Elliott apparently.

    Other than Elliott's interview all I've seen is Gildernew polled strongly. No word on what Alliance did there.

    The bitterness of the DUP tonight has been so delicious.

    The word ‘recount’ has just been whispered here in Omagh Leisure Centre - hearing @gildernewm and @telliott_UUP are neck-and-neck, separated by approx. 20 votes... #GE19

    It’s incredible really. Just when I thought I couldn’t think any less of them.

    Wow.

    Pan Nationalist front is bigger in South Belfast than we thought. Was potentially 9000 earlier!

    It hasn't begun I don't think but almost certain to happen. According to Twitter, Gildernew is ahead but by as little as 20 votes!

    Savage stuff from Enda McClafferty to Steve Aiken: "I can't help but notice anchors on your tie. Is that because your party has that sinking feeling?"

    I got it from this tweet: https://twitter.com/RyanMcAleerbiz/status/1205334612924358656

    I literally just entered "Fermanagh South Tyrone" into the search bar and keep refreshing it every few minutes haha.

    Slaughtered SF.

    McCallion has been pretty useless, but shocked by how much her vote dropped.

    Donaldson re-elected in Lagan Valley is no surprise but his majority gone from 19,000 to 6449!

    Message from the electorate to the DUP is clear: move on from the hate and bile.

    Mainly Free Presbyterian Constituency - Seat of Paisley Snr - was never going to change - it is DUP country

    Ian Paisley Jnr is involved in scandals, the likes of which would see him expelled from any other party in the UK

    But he was always guaranteed that seat, and hence he remains positive and electable!

    But his lead well down.

    He didn't like the question from Enda the BBC guy about being investigated, despite the fact that his party leader said he was being investigated.
