There was a UKIP win from CON that flashed up for half a second. I don't get a chance to see where it was though.

What is the biggest story/surprise from tonight?
Conservative's Strength?
SNP's excel at Labour's expense?
Lib Dem's demise?

That's Vince Cable gone now - remember when he was massively popular, seat won by Tories.

I was gob smacked when the exit poll was revealed. The other two were predicted but this success is going to go down in history and a lot is going to be written about how this happened. |

The one Scottish seat where I wanted the SNP to win and the fucking Tories go and take it.

The one Scottish seat where I wanted the SNP to win and the fucking Tories go and take it. Hang on, is that one Tory seat by retaining Dumfries or have they actually got a second one in Scotland? |

How did they get it so massively wrong - I know this is a pretty unique election, but come on, what a poor effort from all concerned in the British media? |

Shadow chancellor Ed Balls about to lose his seat?
Surely not?

No, it's the one they retained in Dumfriesshire. I should have said 'held' rather than 'take' but all the polls I saw suggested an SNP victory for that constituency. |

I've had Sky News on for ages, and they're still only showing 1 for UKIP....?

My constituency's swung from the Lib Dems to the SNP.

Unfortunately, I'm logging off (although probably will watch for another hour or so). Get some kip, me British lads. INNIT.

If it's true then Labour will need to have a massive rebuilding job on their hands, not only in Scotland but nationally. Massive dilemma on their hand - they have to shift to the centre again but at what cost in Scotland - they are tied up in knots. They need fresh faces in, put some popular faces in there as well - Alan Johnson is well liked across the country (and his memoirs about his tough childhood is amazing I recommend it), then they might gain traction again. I think some just associated them too much with the previous Brown administration. |

Cheerio Jim, enjoy signing on.
Tonight is the beginning of the end of a bankrupt and outdated union.

Welcome to the dark ages of a conservative majority government. I truly hope we see the end of ours in Canada this autumn but I worry we won't. This isn't the country I grew up with any more.

I still can't believe that the Conservatives will have an effective majority. Not one of the polls even came close to suggesting this.
I also hope Ed Miliband continues to lead Labour.

Ed Balls has lost his seat by 422 votes.
Shocking for Labour.
