So many Lib Dem lost deposits.
United Kingdom, not United Kingdoms.
Well, yeah, I know. sigh
Fair play, your lads had a bit of a result at Bannockburn, but we’ve done you every single time since then. When was the last time you took a proper firm to England?
Kilmarnock 27% swing Labour to SNP!
I am English
I just can’t be bothered. Read your history.
26% swing from Labour to SNP in Cathy Jamieson’s ex-constituency in Kilmarnock. Labour will likely have no seats in Scotland if that is typical, maybe one in Edinburgh if they are lucky.
Douglas Alexander gone to a twenty year old SNP student.
Mhairi in the House! She’ll be fun.
That surprised me. Why are you so pro Scottish independence?
Well, I’m up, dammit. Doing some work while watching . Just switched back over to Channel 4 from the BBC to discover Louise Fucking Mensch on. Jesus, I needed a trigger warning for that.
Lib Dems getting stomped tonight, of course, but more interesting was Natalie Bennett’s shambolic interview (or rather, yet another shambolic interview). Perhaps she ought to try setting the bar for success higher than “sucking less than last time”.
I am a long term supporter of federalism.
I moved to Scotland because of Scottish politics to bring up a young family.
I am totally against petty nationalism.
Latest forecast from Nate Silver is 295 CON, 253 LAB, 53 SNP and 24 LIB.
The pundits think she might be the youngest MP ever. She’s also got exams later today.
Andrew Marr says Wikipedia says youngest since the seventeenth century.

I think being younger than Pitt the, err, Younger is a fair old feat.
Paxman said the same. Astonishing, good luck to her. I have mixed feelings about it - it’s great to see young people getting fully involved in politics, but I wonder if her lack of any experience will harm her ability to successfully represent her constituents.
Labour losing votes to UKIP, Tories not by the looks of things. This is absolutely shocking.
I wanted a Tory majority, but didn’t for a second think it was even slightly possible. It’s still early, but it is looking plausible.
Apparently Boris isn’t happy though.
