Think how much better the BBC's coverage would be if Victoria Derbyshire was sitting next to Clive Myrie.

My parents go to Orkney and Shetland basically yearly. They are raging Lib Dems over there and they feel more Scandinavian than Scottish.

Caithness is much the same (just look at our flag - we're basically cosplaying a Scandinavian colony!) and despite the disaffection for the SNP I struggle to see how it would be possible to manifest the >15% swing (if I've done my maths right) that would be necessary to have Reform second in the seat. 

 

If I'm wrong and they do second I'll eat my hat - in a Paddy Ashdown way.

Was surprised at how civil Alexander and Buckland were to each other, and sad that that was now so unusual.

And didnt have such Ugly graphics that make it look it’s being watched on a computer rather than a 32 inch TV like I habe.

Benefits of Alexander being a former middle of the road MP and Buckland being one of the more sensible Tories.

That's the second time you've turned a post of mine into sexual content, and we're only two and a half hours in. Going to be a long and hard night.

[Sleepiestpeep 133]

I'd planned to stay up but the sleepiness is really coming for me... hmmm.

What exactly did you expect from me? (don't answer that)

Think there needs to be a poll for which TV presenter is still awake tomorrow afternoon, lol.

Fuck them, what about us expert contributors here? Who's gonna last the longest?

 

I must declare my advantage of being both an insomniac and pissing myself laughing for much of this evening so far.

@The Old Crem please could you maybe not post so many tweets, I don't want to have to add you to my small list of ignored users.

If more Tories spoke like Robert Buckland, they'd be in a much better position to win an election. Most sense I've heard from someone with a blue rosette in years.

My dad has been working at a poll station all day, got home at 11pm and is currently having a nap. He set an alarm to wake up around 1am or 2am etc.

 

I'm probably going to go to bed at 2am because i've got to get up for work at 7.30am. Though the birds making a noise will wake me up at 5am and i'll check updates on the BBC News app.

Understood. I will type any information out and put a link which doesn’t attach.

A group of bald men arguing over a comb.... what a statement. 

[DCI Frank Burnside 3,812]

Buckland really laying into them. Warning the party not go further to the right 

[The Old Crem 3,417]

‘Labour sources have told the BBC they think they have snatched four of the six Glasgow seats from the SNP with two constituencies, Glasgow North and Glasgow South too close to call.’

 

‘A walk around the Glasgow Emirates Arena indicates it is a close run between SNP and Labour which used to dominate the city before 2015.

Labour volunteers say they have been surprised by the number of votes for Reform showing in Glasgow north while Conservatives are dismissing exit polls suggestions that the party might double its six seats in Scotland, saying it didn’t even target some of them.’

Ok, you got me. Zero sexual allusions, however tempted I may have been. None.
