Teresa clearly gutted she probably won't be having a run at leadership for another 5 years.

Blair and Brown set up devolution for Scotland in the belief that it would become a Labour fiefdom, how times have changed......

Wonder where David Miliband is ?

In New Zealand laughing his bollocks off I would suggest.

Sharpening a knife......

Wonder where David Miliband is ?

If he had won the leadership election, this result would be exactly the same (or worse, given that he would probably have backed going into Syria) - this kicking, if that is what is about to happen, is about what Labour have turned into.

LAB - 27.8% (-2.7)
UKIP - 15.4% (+11.7)
LDEM - 3.3% (-14.0)
GRN - 3.3% (+2.3)

A swing away from Labour. Could the exit poll be right?

Safe seats will likely to move even further in the direction of the incumbent, imo. It's a feature we've seen in the last election.

This is Bizarro World politics.

Exit Polls point to the Tories falling ten seats short of winning an overall majority yet they are behaving as if they were being elected on a landslide.

And in this euphoria they are being aided and abetted by idiot TV pundits, most noticeably the totally idiotic Jeremy Vine.....who is trying to do an impersonation of Peter Snow.

It is holding up pretty well and so far they have called the UKIP factor bang on.

Yep it's all over bar the shouting now.

Delighted that my constituency (Putney) only gave about ~1000 votes to UKIP.
