Amazingly, the BBC and ITV have just managed to totally miss Oliver Letwin's result from Dorset West because Blair was in the middle of the speech.

Sky took it, but kept audio on Blair.

Considering they've been pitching it as the possible upset of the night, amazing that it was ignored.

Looks like Burley has pissed off home to bed (perhaps direct by helicopter). I heard a comment about that on the gallery feed a couple of hours ago and assumed they were being sarcastic, but they were obviously telling the truth...

That's a point - what happened to ITV's copter - I saw Nick Owen at Sunderland and Sedgefield, but did he go anywhere else?

Sadly, the Pringles are gone now and there are only onion rings left.

And all the people who don't live here have gone home, is just me and flatmates. We are hardcore.

In fairness, I am only waiting up for my own sodding MP.

Kilroy-Silk gets just 6% of the vote in Earwash.

Ealing Acton and Shepherd's Bush were confirmed as being under Labour again unfortunately, earlier... so I'm just waiting for Devon North now.

Sky's election night graphics gives me some hope that the relaunch graphics will look rather nice.

I think all the channels have taken some hints from Sky's Last Election, and so all of them have gotten good looks this time round...

Well let me be the first to congratulate TVForum's very own Nick Harvey on holding his place in the Devon North constituency!

Actually... it's a different Nick Harvey, but never mind! Razz

LABOUR HAVE WON THEIR 3RD TERM

The BBC announce it in a rather understated way:
