This locking-out of voters is a bit of a rum do and no mistake and Penistone one of the constituencies who turned people away. There's going to be one heck of a stink about this for the forseeable, you mark my words. With any luck they'll declare the whole election null and void and we can have the fun of doing it all again next week and won't that be as delightful as a summer picnic, pop pickers? :o)

ETA: Twittering as events unfolded, @Raksky was prevented from voting in Sheffield. Really interesting Twitter - some serious shit is going to hit some truly massive fans over this.

ETA2: Peter Robinson has lost East Belfast! Holy bejezus ::she said ironically::
location: Withnell
Music:: Jimmy Carr and lovely smiley Brian Cox
Mood:: 'shocked' shocked

It's quite extraordinary. I did a big doubletake when I saw Penistone come up!

What about Belfast East, though? This could be a pattern - anyone associated with sleaze could suffer. I hope.

The events at polling stations are shocking. Lawyers will get rich on this stuff.

The whole thing is all over the place, wildly huge swings in one place, tiny swings elsewhere, lots of upsets tonight I think.

I shouldn't be surprised if everyone who loses (including whole parties) challenges on the grounds that people weren't able to vote.

It's utterly unprecedented in a British election, I've never seen anything like it, it'll be interesting to see what happens once we're on the other side and the dust is settling.

Swings are all over the place. It's bizarre and completely unpredictable at the moment. I was going to bed but Tooting's got me interested again. :o)

Sounds like it is the US election of 2000 all over again, British-style.
