Peter Snow's at Downing Street! Kick the door down, Pete! PISS IN BLAIR'S EYES!
Sorry... sorry, got a little overexcited.

I hate the way all the interesting stuff happens so late. Isn't it 3am yet?

Snow's more Brass Eye than Brass Eye. Loving the creepy party-leaders-walking-along-Downing-Street-ometer, where the virtual Blair, Howard and Kennedy look like John Merrick clones wearing skin face-masks.

Why are they using spraycans instead of paintbrushes?

Because colouring within the lines using paintbrushes is far less impressive than a horrible spray-painty mess that doesn't tell you anything except yellow and blue make green.

what about felt tips?

They're impressive.

Peter Snow is doing awfully well at pointing directly at the non-existent battleground and walking around a virtual swingometer that he can't actually see.

Bless.

Felt tips only bring Mr Funny running, and we don't want that.

There's been a swing away from Xoc. But the night is young...

Still awaiting results of the Crosby constituency... North West if you really want to check on the BBC's (Red) Electroid map.

Anecdote: I shook Cherie Blair's hand on Wednesday. Walking down from the station to Sayers. Caught flashing sirens, was gawping about looking for twisted metal of any sort and found none (disappointing). Me, "what's with all the chaos?" Sayers, "Oh, it's Cherie Blair!". Pressing the flesh, as she's originally from Crosby donchaknow. Walked out with a jumbo sausage roll that I was far more interested in and got sucked into the eye of the crowd. Face to face with the corpse lady herself, shaking of hands, plastic smiles from both of us, "Hi son, are you OLD ENOUGH to vote?"*, "Oh, ha ha! Just about!". She slapped some ribbony shuriken thingy to my chest, I just turned round and walked off and binned it, getting death eyes from the crowd all the while. I stick it to the man, me. The sausage roll was considerably more memorable.

* This is funny because, if you met me, you'd secretly suspect my girlfriends were borderline pedophiles.

Unless someone brings out a steel chair sometime soon I'm going to bed.

Motorcycle News Party?

Yes. Although occasionally he points boldly at one corner and talks about the other one.

Not that that's out of place in British politics.

Look, Gordon Brown speaks and his wife's face displays the emotion that he really feels.

Cheadle? They named a seat after Don Cheadle? Cool.

Pleased by the promised Lib Dem goodness upcoming but concerned that those pesky Tories are having a bit of a *cof* resurgence. I am wearing my blue pyjamas. I think I should change lest they are a more powerful totem than I had previously suspected. For the rst of the evening I shall be giving my juju to the Black Underpants Party.

Jack Straw really is a bumbling fool, isn't he?

23:54 / 05.05.05
He has been all at sea since the day he lost his specs.

Guys? Guys? What's going on? Please, provide info to a Brit trapped in the US without access to live streaming malarkeys...

Did Jack Straw really say "Fuck" under his breath when he thought the mikes were off?

ZOMG!!!1!!!!1!!

It's looking like being the same old rig, rig, rig, rig, rig(ged fucking world) as usual.

More years of shit I guess.

So the Lib Dems are not winning, but My God they're increasing their share.

First good news of the night: Alan Milburn's political career is over. Perhaps now he can be put to work in a capacity that better reflects his character and skills: say, shovelling turds in hell or being the subject of chemical weapons testing.

Theresa May survives to model shoes another day. Gah! She has kept her Maidenhead.

Didn't hear the Straw expletive, Scrubb, if such there were.

Xyu, what would the result be if it wasn't rigged, you scamp?

Would you like Chris Cornell to be Prime Minister? With his proud beard?

Re Straw swearing; according to my friend glued to the BBC coverage, yes, but was wondering whether she was hallucinating from lack of sleep.

And is Teresa May really wearing "big floppy goth sleeves"? As were.

A sign that scamps can have a better hope of freedom.

Goddamn, why am I here trying to write a paper on business ethics? I should be back in the UK watching this my mates and hurling drunken abuse at Mr Tony and his majority.

Put yer fangs away, it's healthy to be pissed off when seeing british election results.

Fair enough. It does strike me that there is no physical violation that could be committed upon the person of Alastair Campbell that would not in some sense be justified.

Oh jesus, Alistair Campbell, go to sleep. Those bags are like shopping trolleys.
