whooop!

Bob Russell (lib Dem) survived in Colchester

Lembit Obick a gonna!  Awww. This has been the most exciting election I've lived through....Zac Goldsmith the new pin-up politician, (bless him he's lost a fortune by giving up his non-dom status!) and the face on that Joanne Cash in Westminster

Nice one ditty! I think I still have Simon Hughes intact too

He's not actually my mp...    we are part of some ward made up of all the villages... and it was a done deal that the tory bernard would retain his seat.

But the main colchester bloke... bob russell stayed...  which he totally deserved to.  Most hardworking mp I have ever seen.   And he is like a dog with a bone... I reckon all the others hate him!

Glenda Jackson winning by 17 votes in Hampstead!!!! Tories have called for a recount.

hahahaha  thats hampstead & kilburn...   where the flat my brothers in law live (where hubby used to live)

(he always calls it hampstead...  but given the flat is just off kilburn high road I'd say there was a bit of spin going on)

I used to live in that constituency, in Belsize Park. Kilburn can be classed as West Hampstead Borders I've also heard it called North Brondesbury.

one of my bro in laws (the linen suit wearing one) refers to it as west hampstead!!

I laugh.... & I love Kilburn...   no other place like it on the planet!

Locally, Gloucester where I live but not where I vote has switched from Labour to Conservative. Two elections ago, Gloucester was the magic ward where which ever party won was expected to obtain an overall majority. Not so this time. Tewkesbury where I vote stayed inevitably Conservative.
Strangely enough, Cheltenham has yet to declare. In the past this has been one of the first places to declare. I think this means that there is a very close result between Lib Dems (current MP) and Conservative.

Morning El Loro

Cheltenham hasn't declared yet coz they only started to count at 8:30am.. to save money it seems

Z.

kudos for staying up ... I found I couldn't face it!

The morning isn't quite as depressing as I expected though

Free and Fair Elections!!!! What a shambles!

Morning hoochie

I'll be dribbling and talking nonsense any minute now though


Z.

Morning all - wish I hadn't stayed up so late now (for me lol) as nothings been decided yet!

Stand for parliament Z

It's very citing though Liver....But I'm so glad I bailed out at 1am  

I'm sure we can make allowances Z - your monumental effort you've earned the right

Ooh I agree on both counts lol I feel rather tired this morning!

I don't know how you've managed!

No tory mandate in Scotland

Thanks suzy and liverbird

Had to switch over to ITV for national coverage... I think my IQ just dropped .. well they seem to think so


Z.

Morning guys.....

I was up at 7 and have read through all I missed...Well done troops...I feel very weary so you guys must be knackered!!!...

I can't wait for my twin toddlers to have a nap so I can read this whole thread

Morning lal

Am watching perma-tanned Peter Hain explaing how labour can stay in power


Z.

I'm watching spekky psephologist on the BBC. WE HAVE A HUNG PARLIAMENT wooooooo

Ooo back to BBC Coverage


Z.

He was talking a load of sense too Z

Not sure if this has been mentioned but how the hell has the odious, painted on eyes, Hazel Blears managed to hold on to her seat She has a face that I wouldn't get fed up of slapping...

DiDs... Jacqui 'Pay as you go Porn' Smith got the boot....she looked deflated, poor cow!!

It would sees that La Blears is a good constituency MP so he various transgressions have been forgiven by the electorate

Z.

I was just reading back and saw this....

Cologne   you've had a crappy time recently haven't you.  So sorry about Buddy xxxx

I know SHe did look rather deflated didn't she...priceless...

The result has just come in and Glenda Jackson was re-elected winning by 42 votes.

I turned on my lappy at 7am yesterday and thought "I haven't yet" so didn't do it - but I couldn't get it back later to click it

"A lot of average income families are on 50K they have mortgages etc to pay."

Our family earns nowhere near 50k! And when Mr LB got made redundant last year we got ZIP!! Well £60 a week - but where does that go? I have a mortgage but it's a sensible amount (bought 23 years ago) We had to use all Mr Lb's inheritence to live on
