Election Night Special
What better way is there to enjoy an evening? I have some beers; there's an election and the result has just a smidgeon of unpredictability. Well, it's 23.15 and it looks like Labour's majority won't be as big as everybody thought.
One other thing: it looks like the Dimblebys have got the TV sewn up, there is one presenting the BBC coverage and one presenting the ITV coverage.
Two results in and the swing is 5%. Andrew Marr can already see a pattern. I think he's a bit premature.
The majority looks like it will be between 70 and 80. It would have been more fun if it was smaller. Stephen Twigg is just about to go down which might be interesting to watch.
Oh my god! Rusty Lee stood for UKIP for Wyre Forest. Described just now by the BBC as "the 80's chef".
Time for bed. I'll just note that I turned over to ITV to see how Jonathan is doing. It seems their main contributor is Gerald Scarf. Although this strikes me as rather light weight, it did lead to the priceless comment from JD to GS "how do you see Michael Howard". GS had just drawn a picture of Michael Howard with bat wings and fangs.
Doh!
