Newcastle-upon-Tyne North is the first seat where the Tories go backwards (though still a swing to the Tories compared to Labour).

Oh, I am.  He's being scapegoated by virtually everyone for tonight's loss, especially by his own party.  

The man has a 25% approval rating. Can you call it 'scapegoating' at that point?

Congratulations to the British people.  I'm going to pop a bottle of bubbly for you tonight.  Britain will once again be an independent nation!

Jeremy Corbyn is gone at least.  That's one silver-lining from tonight. 

Don't be so sure.


Also, I am pretty much sure that in 2017 those results were coming faster. Is it because of weather?
Usually a slower count indicates a higher turnout, but turnout seems to be down about 3% so far. Might just be less counting staff available due to the proximity to Christmas.

Famously the only constituency to have never voted for a Tory (I believe)

How can you even gauge this after 11/632 seats reporting? 9 of the seats that reported were safe seats per the exit poll, Blyth Valley was a lean Tory seat that went Tory, and Sunderland Central was a lean Labour seat that went Labour.

Last voted Conservative in 1837 - Whig, Liberal or Labour ever since then.

Nuneaton is in. While  it may have been a marginal in the past, it is easily a Tory hold.

Do elections before universal suffrage count in these discussions?

Suppose it depends on your views on democracy and suffrage in general.

Slightly better than expected for the Conservatives.

Labour source is saying they have lost Redcar. That was projected to stay Labour in the exit poll.

If the actual result is worse than the exit poll, they could be out of power for the next 10 years.

Pretty much on schedule - BBC projected a 0100 declaration.

First southeastern seat in now: Tories hold Broxbourne with a 4.6% swing toward them.

The big swing in Blyth Valley (10.2%) wasn't isolated or a fluke, I guess - Labour hold adjacent Wansbeck but with a swing of 11.3% against them.
