Want to Get Drunk With TB Later?

A final message from the BIG Election Night Party:

It looks set to be a great night. The kitchens will be open from 9am - 9pm as will the bar and the venue is set up into three zones - BBC, SKY NEWS HD and ITV News. There is loads of room for sitting down to eat, four bars, and lots of balloons...

Sky News, BBC, BBC London, a documentary team and even Danish TV will all be filming live from the event

Please bring your respective party paraphernalia and cheer on your team.

So don't miss out on what is set to be the biggest and best way to celebrate the end of the campaign.

Looking forward to seeing you all there

TB will be there all night and, if the results go the right way, he would recommend being near him at the bar at after the Tooting, Bournemouth and Perth results are declared...


Good Morning it's Polling Day


As the CCHQ countdown clock shows, finally it's all over. This campaign has been one of extremes - there was the farcical, with Gordon's disaster after disaster, the surreal with Nick Clegg actually taking seriously and of course the constant intense media speculation about, err, wives. Either way it's make your mind up time. TB predicts a small and he means very small Tory majority.

Ed Balls Attack Ad



He was only following orders!

Exclusive: 13 Years of Labour



Worst PM Eveeer

A busy TB is greatly enjoying the I Blame Sood mess. Another day, another destroyed news cycle for Gordon. This made TB laugh too:

Off to Tooting tonight to campaign against the evil Khan.

What Happened to Tony?

Is the guilt eating him away?

Why Kerry Must Face the Music

Red Rag
is on form explaining why, despite her best attempts to brush the issue under the carpet, her deliberate breach of electoral law must be punished:
"A statement from Miss McCarthy was later issued by the Labour Party. “On hearing the results of a random and unscientific sample of postal votes, I posted them on Twitter. It was a thoughtless thing to do, and I very quickly realised that it was not appropriate to put such information in the public domain.”

This could be considered a storm in a teacup, a minor mistake made by a naive young MP. The facts though are somewhat different, Kerry McCarthy was a solicitor and has been charged with rallying the troops on Twitter. The 'sample' she posted showed Labour with a strong lead and were specifically intended to motivate her supporters and thus effect the outcome of the election.

If ever the maximum penalty was called for it should be for somebody who was deliberately trying to influence the outcome. There is no doubt that this was Kerry McCarthy's intention."
Damn straight.

Will He Make it to Thursday?

Monday - Candidate Disaster
Tuesday -

Peppa Pig Disaster

Wednesday - Mrs Duffy Disaster
Thursday - Debate Disaster
Friday -
Car Crash Disaster

What does Gordon do for an encore?

Quote of the Day

On comparing filming notes with

Emily Nomates
:
TB: Yeah quite a lot of people told me to piss off, Whelan mainly.

EM: Wait, no one told me to piss off, Whelan started winking at me when I was filming him... and it wasn't just Whelan thinking about it, Gove was as well.
Smirk.

Spin Room I

Who did TB have a merry chat with last night?



Lots more to come...

Quick Thought

Angus Reid

Cameron 36
Clegg 31
Brown 23


Sun/YouGov

Cameron 41
Clegg 32
Brown 25


ITV/ComRes

Cameron 35
Clegg 33
Brown 26

As the Spin Room quietens down and TB stops chasing around various hacks and politicians with a camera, it's pretty clear from not only the polls, but the desperation of the attacks that this was a good victory for Cameron. Clegg was nailed on immigration and Brown was never really in the fight, bar a good line or two. His non-reference reference to yesterday was poor and no surprise the polls went the way they did at the end.

Check out tomorrow's Guy News for Whelan VS Gove 2, Campbell, Liam Byrne and his coffee, Gabby's briefings, and Lord Moses.

The whole Spin Room is dry... like many others in here TB is gasping for a beer.
