So how low would Labour's seat count have to go for them to be able to oust Corbyn?  Below 180?

The thing is, who are the Labour MPs losing their seats in that scenario? If they are anti-Corbynites, then Corbyn's relative power within the parliamentary Labour Party may even increase?

so..... Cons+UUP+DUP government or a 'progressive alliance' of everybody with Sinn Fein taking seats to block the conservatives.

Exit polls means CON/DUP/UUP is short of a majority.

Remember Sinn Fein don't take their seats... Unless they change that policy.

So basically, with both parties in favour of (hard or soft) Brexit, Tories and Labour are competing in how many UKIP votes they can eat.

Wow, it seems that Ruth Davidson will really save the day for the Conservatives. There will be huge pressure on her to move to Westminster as soon as a safe Conservative seat opens up.

So she'll move to England to be elected to Westminster?

So I guess Thurrock is UKIP's best constituency? Managed to get 20% there.

South Thanet hasn't come in yet.

So Con + DUP coalition is the forgone conclusion here or can something else still happen?

More like an informal support pact rather than coalition.

Sky News, The Telegraph, and The Independent are saying Lib Dems gained Tewkesbury from the Tories.

Sky News has now corrected it to CON.
