I'm tempted to say a small majority for Labour. A high turnout usually bodes well for Labour.

A polling station in Cumbria has a copy of today’s Daily Mail placed between the two polling booths in a clear endorsement for the Tories and in direct contravention of electoral law.
When someone tried to remove it, the staff there tried to stop this from happening showing they were complicit with the endorsement.
A sad state of affairs.

Might be more Lib Dem, their campaign was not too confrontational and their numbers for spending were said to be manageable, couple that with the remain vote .. oh well tomorrow Friday the 13th we will know!

Just had a good five minute natter with my local MP Ben Bradley. He called me, honest to god cross me heart hope to die.
Anyway ave told him a few Tashyboy home truths, forum style. In essence I don't think I am the only one who has told him tonight that we are headed down crap creek.

Nope, I was told by the person who removed it.

Just an observation but don't you live in a Tory stronghold? If that's the case and people are happy with Brexit and them it will be a low turn out
The high turn outs will be in the places who want change

Honest answer is i couldn't tell you if we're in a Tory stronghold as we only moved to the area last year from Kent. I know the MP was a a Tory winner last time though. But based on their canvassing they also imo are the worst person to be in charge of our local area.

Not sure I'd go that far but could see Labour as the biggest party but with no majority. Which might not actually be a bad thing as if they a relying on a coalition it could moderate some of their more extreme proposals.
I didn't realise until I read the BBC News website earlier that even if Labour win more seats than the Conservatives, Boris still gets first shot at forming a coalition as he's the current PM and only if he can't then Labour would get the chance.

Before the underlined bit, the magic money tree appears just like it did for TM and the DUP.......

Yep, that's the rules if no-one wins an overall majority. That's what happened in 2010 with David Cameron and the Lib Dems. Gordon B remained as PM and if the Lib Dems had done a deal with Labour then it would have been a Lab/LibD coalition despite the Tories having the most seats. But as we all know, they went with Dave...

The problem he might have this time round is who is going to trust him. The DUP aren't best pleased with him and might not even have enough numbers to make a difference. I can't see the SNP even bothering to return his calls regardless of what he promises them. So that only leaves the Lib Dems, with a leader that has said she won't put Boris or Corbyn into No.10, and surely that's a case of once bitten twice shy. The only way I could see the Lib Dems supporting him is if they get a legally enforceable guarantee that there will be a 2nd referendum and surely even Boris won't go back on his word to that degree.

Leader of Scots Tories had just admitted to electrol fraud. According to his tweets he sent a postal vote sent on 30th Nov and today said he had just voted when leaving a polling station.
Perhaps he is lying again.

Wonder if the Maccems will get their result in first again, mad buggers ?
I know someone involved in the Newcastle count tonight and they are taking it easy and leaving it to Sunderland this time. Hey, you have to give Sunderland one victory this year ?
