Faustus

Johnny Mac on C4 then. Burrrrrrn!

Shut up, Widdecombe, you horrible, spiteful virgin.

True, Plev. Maybe I'm misinterpreting it how he's giving to Widdecombe. Still, pretty ace how he and Osman are both giving the vile woman crap now.

I like how David Mitchell and Richard Osman on C4 are quite clearly Labour voters.

Kuenssberg tweeting that it's not looking good for Clegg...

I know it wouldn't happen, but based on Matt Fry being slightly playful, imagine if May lost her seat...

Still very early days, but if this comes off, but I'm buying the first 18-24 year old I see tomorrow a pint.

Labour holds Wrexham. Another Tory target that.

Pictures of Amber Rudd bricking it on C4.

I keep turning over in the ads from C4 to BBC and then end up leaving it on that, forgetting I even switched it over in the first place and it's been doing my head in.

Is right, the Faustino Asprilla rejectors.

The least surprising thing I've ever heard is finding out Anne Widdecombe is still a virgin.

Those Kensington and Canterbury rumours are mental. Be massive if that happened.

Barry Gardiner is fucking sound.

Think C4 are winning on the election coverage front. Widdecombe aside. Nails down a blackboard, her voice.

Thornberry giving Dimbleby shit. Top lass.

I've got a conference tomorrow with the other PhDs at 9:00 tomorrow. It's not even my discipline, but I'm chairing a panel at 12:30 as a favour to a mate. I'm tempted to head straight to the pub right after I've finished that if Corbyn's given the keys to no10 by then.

It's obviously possible that the exit polls are off, but not landslide territory (touch wood). Even if she does get 326, she's toast. Corbyn and Labour come out stronger.

In the words of David Coleman: "1-0!"

My arse has well and truly gone here.

What are the DUP projections in N. Ireland? They're the only party I can see propping them up, if it's true that UKIP aren't getting an MP.

Bricking it. Absolutely bricking it.

'Kinell, Nelly, who came out with that online quizzes quote you posted? Reminds me of the Scousepirational post on FB: General Public: We want the things. Labour: Here are the things. GP: Boooooo! Tories: We will take all of the things. GP: Yaaaaaay!

Frank Field in Birkenhead. Absolute nailed on, even though he's a pure red Tory. He could advocate pushing old people down stairs and stealing sweets from kids, and he'd still walk it.. Based on his past voting record, I wouldn't be surprised if he did one day.

Section's right in that I imagine he's toxic waste in the Home Counties, but the mad thing is that his policies resonate there, even if 'Labour' or the entire concept of 'socialism' don't. That video Gyles Brandreth did for the One Show in Guildford is well worth checking out on YouTube. Admittedly it's not a rigorous scientific study, hence it being on the One Show, but it's nonetheless interesting to see him read out a list of Corbyn's policies to people and have them agree with what he says, only to recoil in horror when it's put to them that they're espoused by Corbyn. It's one of the problems with this country in how tribal politics is, as opposed to being something to be internally debated and formulated organically. On the flip side, it's similar to how a section of people on Merseyside and in the north parrot the 'all the family vote Labour' and 'they're the party for the working man', without giving much thought into what it means and actually come out with some socially conservative (small c) stuff that occasionally strays into hardline rhetoric, hence the Brexit vote in the Labour heartlands.
