Like all Marxist governments, it leads to nothing but damage and despair.

And a Tory govt has been sunshine and lollipops!

Nigel Farage must be praying for a hung parliament at this stage. A Conservative majority spells the definitive end of his, and the B(n)P's political relevance.

Reform Party? There is no real appetite for the type of political reform he's advocating. The crushing defeat of AV kind of spelled that out, and while the Lords have at times been painted by the red tops as standing in the way of Brexit, if and when Brexit does happen, any real opposition to that house will largely be forgotten about.

It was a milk round etc. and he was stocking the van.

And he was just channeling a magpie when he took yer man's shiny phone? Or what about avoiding interviews that might have bee tough?

Real leadership qualities.

Most people in London I know have felt so impotent since the Brexit referendum....
All analysis points to Brexit being a nightmare for London (already is) and people in London had no recourse as Brexit was being pushed through by the Tories in any rubbish format they could get away with

All we will see from that is even larger Labour majorities in already safe Labour seats, its like how Hillary won California by like 3m votes or whatever but that was a given anyway. Its not like those extra Labour voters are going to cost the Tories seats in places like the Cotswolds and Dorset.

He was already in at the very start with Beth Rigby.

Yeah, it should be an obvious point, but it bears repeating as people seem to get carried away with broad numbers, and parliamentary elections are really won at a more granular level. So it's all about what's happening in the marginals.

when people talk about the Scots being dragged out of the eu against their wishes, they seem to forget that (Gibraltar aside) the six strongest remain votes were in London. I think that is what gave Cameron and he sane side of the conservative party the confidence to promise the referendum in the first pace, because in London it was never going to win. If only the politicians had got off their arses and understood the atmosphere in the rest of the country.....

Yes I knows...without proportional representation

I didnt need to vote but there are a few seats in London that Labor could win or Tories could lose like Watford, Croydon,Putney,Richmond,Chingford

I wonder how they pick which presenters get to cover the main seats ? I mean as Sarah Jane Mee and Gillian Joseph are in sunderland and Newcastle respectively and if past elections are anything to go by they could be finished well before 12am.

It'll be hilarious if Johnson loses his seat, some poor sod with a safe seat is going to be kicked upstairs so Bojo can stand again. Who would be the PM for that period? Rees-Mogg?

Pretty sure that Boris remains PM until the House selects someone else. He can't resign until he can tell the Queen who his replacement is. So the Tories would have to speed up their leader selection process.

Some experts believe Johnson would have no choice but to resign as PM and Conservative leader - not resigning after being rejected by the electorate would be a terrible look.

Have no TV, anyone got a stream for Sky/ITV/BBC I can watch to get the opinion poll at the stroke of 10?

Love to see Tony Blair, Gordon Brown & John Major on a panel together somewhere tonight

Mr.Nice Guy

Labour seem to think Johnson will be alright...

won't happen I'm afraid.

Just 28 minutes left.

For those who monitor the betting dimension, has anything shifted significantly on that front?

Admittedly he hadn't lost his seat, but Gordon Brown was still PM for at least a week despite Labour then filling the opposition benches in 2010.

RTE are giving the live full monty as well for some reason.

Can I just say how much Sky News has improved over the last 5 years.

Before then it was all tabloid and unwatchable.

Now i'd go to Sky before BBC. It's a fine news channel now.

Looking forward to their coverage

Water John

Sky have a journalist in every count centre, I think.
