Go Elmo!

Grover is no longer bitter.  Elmo got only three votes!

BBC now forcasting 318 Tory, 267 Labour

how much north irish support would she get?

Indirectly, 3 or 4 votes from Sinn Fein (they don't sit, so their 6 or 7 empty seats mean the Tories need fewer seats), and 9 DUP votes.

Any chance that Brexit doesn't happen after this election outcome?

No.  At this point it would require all 27 EU nations to agree to that and that's extremely unlikely to happen.  It does make a soft Brexit more likely.

Can somebody explain to me how Angus Robertson lost a seat he had held since 2001? Just seems so odd. Yes, it was a bad night for the SNP...compared to two years ago. But overall this is still their 2nd best Westminster result by far and the party seems to remain relatively popular.

Robertson performed about the same as he did pre-2015, but the anti-SNP vote wasn't split this time and returned to their traditional Tory allegiance for that seat.
