YouGov predicted it i believe.

Anyone got work tomorrow? I'm in in 3 hours.
Transitioning from brandy to coffee, so you're stuck with me for a while yet.
I don't think she's particularly vulnerable. It has to be remembered that in spite of tonight's decline she's ultimately managed to take the SNP from 6 seats to a majority since she came to power; plus there's the fact she's close to a majority in Holyrood still. Ultimately any party is going to struggle to sustain 50% and until the SNP are starting to look like they're no longer the most popular party in Scotland she'll be fine, especially considering a lot of potential SNP voters were tempted by Corbyn's Labour tonight.
Robertson won't succeed her either; not necessarily his fault, but an election loss doesn't paint him in a good light. Difficult to tell who'd take over - I don't think Tommy Sheppard is an awful shout since he got back in tonight. Now a good few names from Westminster are gone though I suspect we'll see some new names gaining increasing prominence at Westminster in place of Salmond, Robertson, Tasmina etc.
How the feck did greg knight get re-elected 
Damn, Zac Goldsmith ahead in the recount.
wow..... well done for staying with it so long!
The same. He's done incredibly.
Hung parliament is a stunning Labour victory. Can't be spun any other way. From 20 points behind to within a few of being the largest party.
Jeremy Vine needs to tone it down at this hour.
No they shouldnt. Some of us still have to work bank holidays!Nope. I'm off.
They should have a bank holiday after an election night.
thats still very vague! 315 wouldnt be too bad!
Could play devil's advocate though and argue any strong leader would've trounced May. But still, if she'd been behind in polling she wouldn't have called the election. Excellent campaign from Corbyn.
YouGov must be peeved their final poll went up to +7 now.
Tories will still pick up 2/3 in Scotland I think.
Projected share of 43% versus 40% for Labour. Survation were close, YouGov would be closer had they not bottled it at the end.
LD comfortably third biggest party.

Aww feck! I feel for you! Some coffee and lots of natural sunlight will get you through the day.
I'm off so it's all good!
Thanks. Any idea which site has it?
Hope so
im calling it a night, night guys, been a pleasure!
Sky News has it rolling on their screen. They are live on youtube
Well maybe a day off for everybody that works? We'd have 90% turnout.
It's good Soubry's one of the Tory MPs, as she won't allow May to do whatever she wants.
Likely outcome of a hung parliament?
This is worth remembering if the Tories do get a majority; they're going to struggle to function together. One or two resignations and they're fecked.
Woo, Labour hold Camberwell & Peckham. My vote did something!
I just got into bed and have no work tomorrow so I'm feeling fantastic thinking about my line in and casual coffee and scrambled eggs on toast to eat at leisure at midday
I am also relying on the Scottish Tories not to be Rees Moggs.

Cocaine is bad, Pexbo
Can't argue with improving 10 point regardless, and my kind of technocratic bod wouldn't be energising youth like this. I don't know whether it can win a majority, or whether a stronger Tory campaign would've made a difference, but even apart from that I never thought he could prevent losses let alone gain seats. I still think he's shite on Europe but you can't have everything.
I wouldnt bet against it.
Still believe conservatives will be in power, one way or another. Probably without May though. Little victories and all that.
100%.
Anna Soubry sticking the knife in.

Feck. I might even get a few beer tomorrow. It's been that kind of night.
Agreed. Beyond even the wildest of dreams.
Corbyn has been vindicated for all his stubbornness and self-conviction. He was right in understanding the pulse of his party vote and the majority of his MPs were wrong. Proved people like me wrong (I ended up voting for him).
If May resigns and Boris Johnson takes over, then a fully united Labour party led by Corbyn will walk over the Tories in a winter election.
Why did the Tories do well in Scotland?
It's sad but I can't wait for the next polls.You still love polls too much though.
well done to the person on BBC calling out Theresa May for the shocking campaign
