Any idea what time we will know clear outcome?

I'd have thought so, though SNP still being the biggest party there will give her something to hide behind. Given how high the 2015 results were for them then losing seats was expected, but to lose to the Tories like this is something different. Given how front-and-centre she's been on the national stage throughout her leadership, she must carry some responsibility. But whether she will...
Split Labour to SNP vote won't be helping. fecking Tories in Scotland. The shame.
If the Tory/DUP alliance happens because of Scotland, I may actually cry.
May now 1/3 to be prime minister.
Tories I presume
Tories
Odds on a Conservative majority halved in the last half hour
Amber might got as well. Something positive, I guess.
Ahh right. It's a shame though, I wish everyone would just vote labour!
No but similar views on gays
yeah less chance she will carry on then even May.
Nah, out at an all-nighter. Supposedly anyway... they kicked us out. Now back st my flat with flatmste and a couple of people from the pub. This is more fun than it had any right to be.
It was fun while it lasted and it lasted for longer than I expected but here comes the blue wave.
Feck the hope.
What a fight, this one's going to ten rounds for sure.
Yeah but we are gassed

Well she has already said she'd help Corbyn a coalition government so I guess she has no plans on going anywhere.
Well what a way to feck things up Scotland. And I've gave Brave Heart 4 out of 5 in the Movie Review Thread.
Dunno if you've heard, but Hoey supposedly in trouble.
A few big swings to Labour in London is all we need.
I'm confused how the exit poll was underestimating Tory vote in Scotland. Didn't it have SNP down to 34? Surely that would've involved lots of Tory gains?
I'm going to sleep when Conservatives surpass Labour. So probably about half an hour.
i genuinely had hope for about 30 mins...... like some one said earlier "Its the hope that kills you"
Very bad night for SDLP and UUP
Oh noooooo
1 in 3 SNP voters from 2015 went on to vote for Brexit.
For what it's worth.

Whoever was updating the Yougov tracker has fecked off
Second recount in Perth, Wishart 21 votes ahead. Squeaky wheat time again. A lot felt it'd go Tory so would be a major hold for the SNP.
Don't think there's Will Ben enough to overturn the gains cons are making.
Interesting to see the leaders of the big parties after the dust has settled. Personally think May, Sturgeon and Farron should go. Corbyn might resign on a high if they get an honourable loss, but that's based on nothing but my opinion.
So, they're quitters?
BBC's coverage is incoherent babble.
That'd be good. YouGov have it as a Tory win.
This is what happens when you don't do alliances. Southport a mess.
That's a good point - don't think the party will have the will to force her out either, so I'd bet on her carrying-on. But then I'm not a Scot so have no real idea what's going on there
Sky forecasting 308-328 seats for the Conservatives
Rather interestingly there's a fair bit of Brexit sentiment in the rural north of Scotland - Angus Robertson's constituency almost voted for it, and since then I presume we've seen such voters swayed over from the SNP to the Tories. That swing has been backed up by some SNP voters being tempted by Corbyn.
Was inevitable - in becoming a party with a lot more urban appeal, the SNP were always going to alienate their rural voters eventually. Sustaining 56 out of 59 seats was impossible.
probably heart broken labour supporter.
