The One Love concert on BBC1 has been surprisingly good - even if you don't enjoy the acts themselves i think in the context of last night and everything the message has been very positive. Which is something this country has seemed to be lacking recently.

Jeremy Corbyn sympathises with the extreme and deluded ideology of one of the attackers. How can he protect this country.

For the record you can get estimated times each seat will declare here: http://election.pressassociation.com/Declaration_times/general_2017_by_time.php

Early results being singled out to watch to see if the YouGov model is lining up are Battersea at 1:00am (currently held with a 15.6% Tory majority but which YouGov are projecting will flip Labour) and at 2:00am Bury North (which the Tories hold with only 300 odd votes but no UKIP candidate is in the running and they got about 12% of the vote last time, YouGov projecting a Labour gain) and Thurrock (held by the Tories with only 500 odd votes but UKIP got 31.7% here in 2015, YouGov again projecting Labour gain).

If those results don't go the way YouGov are projecting the model may be a bit off

Couple of pages back, but why do some constituencies take so long? Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth Valley and Wansbeck need to pull their loving finger out. 12pm? Its the drat apocalypse sort it out guys.

How about compulsary voting. Make an option for 'none of the above'.

Or how about direct democracy done using an app, or for those watching at home, the red button.

it's nice when they do it when watching the tennis but this one's a bit more important i think

I think it's important for all of the bright-eyed youngsters in their first election to know defeat, to truly taste the grinding misery that is another 5 years at least of Mrs May's jelly grip on the country.

As an American, I've been really confused that this hasn't happened already. All the UKIP ministers are gone, it's a loving terrible idea to begin with, the Conservatives will be negotiating with a shaky mandate. I'm sure most of the Tory MPs know it's ruinous for the UK anyway. Why is anyone going along with it?

All the votes that transferred from ukip after they agreed to leave the EU would disappear. Politicians are in the business of winning elections.

I've never seen a government so quickly and catastrophically fall apart like this. I mean, I knew that it's happened before plenty, and I was technically alive and aware in the 90s, but I'm still finding this all a bit surreal. And frankly a bit disturbing, too - as bad as this looks for the Tories, I hate the feeling of the country being so loving rudderless. The sooner Corbs and Labour take over the better - obviously because of their policies, but also just because some stability and forward momentum would be nice.

The best part is that they aren't even really a government. The country is falling apart and no one is at the wheel lol
