Labour sources in 3 Glasgow seats admitting privately they have lost to SNP; mood in others grim and heading same way #GE2015

Something for everyone - rumours are starting to fly that George Galloway is in trouble in his Bradford seat. How much trouble is still unknown.

There's an awful lot of rumour flying round, but whispers from counts are saying that SLab has been massacred.

A “senior Labour source” has told Magnus Gardham of the Herald that Murphy is “in serious trouble”. Oh please. Please please please.

We can but hope...

Hope you get what you desire, Bonny.  

Still no declarations, but bits and pieces of gossip and rumour from Sunday Herald journo:

@paulhutcheon @theSNP 62% support in glenrothes reports say, mental

Mental indeed. I am struggling to believe any of this is accurate, but the reports are coming from so many different people, it must be semi-correct.

Labour insider: we have lost every seat in Lanarkshire #GE2015

That's what happens when you do what they did......

It's not any too clear what's happening in England yet, Lilly:

Eight seats so far - two for the Tories, six for Labour

But not 'exciting' seats. The Green vote seems to be up, UKIP definitely is, but the LibDems have collapsed, in a flurry of lost deposits.

Chat from .@scottishlabour HQ is that party may be wiped out in Scotland with only non-SNP seats Orkney& Shet and Berwickshire

That would be 1 Tory, 1 LibDem, and 57 SNP. Labour extinct, and the other two panda-ised.

Wow!  It's so interesting...

An extremely cheery Alex Salmond has just turned up at the Aberdeen count and is talking to STV.

Labour's Michael McCann just said to me "I don't need to talk to you, I'm not a politician anymore." #GE2015 #GE15 South Lanarkshire

This is all looking so good. Providing you are coming from my point of view. My neighbour has been so good in putting up with me while has has galloping flu Which I have quite likely caught.

The SNP is going to wipe Scotland. And UKIP aren't doing bad either.

I don't see how the Union can survive, Sabot, it's going to turn into a bitter divorce when it could have been an amicable separation.

Labour concede they have lost Kirkcaldy - their safest seat in Scotland.

OMG, that's Brown's old seat!

Serves him right.

Labour vote *down* in Nuneaton - one of its must-win marginals.

That's bad, Milliband seems to have thrown the election away in England, when all he had to do was not be Cameron.

I don't know what to say, Bonny. We all saw the dirty tricks. And the gross stupidity. But you can't actually put that into one paragraph.

On their own heads be it.

I am feeling a bit bereft at the moment because I don't have access to a TV now. Poor old Chris for putting up with me until nearly 3am.

I so desperately want SNP to clear Scotland. And for UKIP to become a party of note, even if I don't actually understand their politics. Anything would be better than what England has put up with for all of my life. All of my life. For that long. That is such a disgrace.

I felt like a rat leaving the sinking ship when I bailed out. And I always did want better for the land of my misbegotten birth. Maybe this is the beginning.

Although if I ever do come back, it will only ever be to Scotland.

You can't put the hopes of a lifetime into a few words.

And I thought that Glasgow would be the one to fail. I should have known better. These are people that I understand. I saw the deprivation when I was a silly little girl.

Mirror isn't taking the Labour defeat well....but frankly, UK Labour have no-one except themselves to blame, if they couldn't beat the Tories now. It's not even as if the Tories have been all that competent in government.

An odd pattern seems to be developing, though. Scotland has gone, but northern England is still Labour, and the Tory vote is up in south-east England....

OMG, just seen the first SNP gain.
