He revoked their "b" and "u" after they got hammered in the last general election. Joke was that they were so crippled they didn't even have all their letters left.

They became Laor back when David "Midnight Squeal" Cameron was PM, as a punishment for their failures. As an American, I already had deprived them of their "u".

Tories lost their third seat of the night to LibDems (Eastbourne).

Ah, I see.

It bothers me to the point of feeling betrayed that Scotland has elected more Tory MPs this year than they have in the last 20 years combined.

Scottish Conservative was probably giving it their all (as was Scottish Laor and Scottish LibDem), since if SNP had taken all those seats and held them it would just be the end for their parties. SNP, Green, and SSP would have become the new normal.

Yeah, but in most of those constituencies, it was largely a 3-way race. No Tory has gotten 50%+ in Scotland so far.

Speaking of dead parties, UKIP's challenge in Boston & Skegness has failed miserably, not even reaching 10% and coming in behind Laor.

At least with Farage there, they were entertaining racist gits.
Without him, they're just boring racist gits.

Now the bloodletting is really beginning for the Tories. LibDems stole their *fourth* seat of the night (Kingston & Surbiton), while Labour has snatched a total of 16 from their posh hands. If it weren't for the inroads they've made in Scotland, Corbyn would already be on his way to Westminster.

LibDem Leader Tim Farron holds on to his district by a margin of 1.5%. Talk about playing it down to the wire, man. Also, 4th place in his district goes to "Mr Fishfinger" with 309 votes.

Conservatives are now blowing the BBCs revised projection of their losses, their re-re-revised was losing 8 seats, they're now at -9 on BBC and -10 on The Guardian.

Theresa May had a "Lord Buckethead" in her district.

I would totally vote for Buckethead. Have you heard that guy play?



LibDems take Caithness back from SNP (iirc, the isles were sort of a LibDem haven before the SNP's wave last time?).

Not that buckethead, this Lord Buckethead. He's kind of the British version of Vermin Supreme.

Would also vote for that guy. Especially if the alternative was Theresa May.


Labour at +23 on the night so far.
SNP at -14, as they lose Berwick, Roxburgh and Selkirk to the Tories.


I this point, I have to wonder if Nicola Sturgeon steps down. Perhaps after donning Forrest Whitaker's armor and limping out to gasp "Save the rebellion, save the dream"....
