Can't get over how slow the BBC Scotland coverage is at keeping up with results. They announced one very early result almost 10 minutes late. I am flitting between tabs on websites while occasionally dropping in to watch BBC Scotland or Sky News. Mainly keeping the Sky News tab open for an accurate election count so far (they're quickest at noting the changes) and BBC Scotland's live results text feed for reports from ongoing counts etc. I am especially keen to see what happens in my constituency, Arbroath and Broughty Ferry (new this year), Dundee Central and North East Fife.

Later I'll switch to the UK wide BBC News coverage as hopefully lots of Tory high heid yins lose their seats! I am sporadically eating Doritos (chilli heatwave flavour) and drinking creamy strawberry milkshake (Shaken Udder). May also have a cup of tea and a couple of Maryland chocolate chip cookies.

P.S. Though George Galloway out. Fab!

Ooh that's a bit of a car crash interview with John Swinney on BBC Scotland just now. I'm a SNP supporter, but he seriously sounds as though he hasn't a clue about the public perception problems here. Still waiting anxiously to see my constituency result ...

Pleased to see the SNP win in Arbroath and Broughty Ferry, my constituency. But it was phenomenally close. The SNP vote has plummeted across Scotland, but Dundee has still got 2/2 SNP MPs after this election.
