Depressed as I fear we're gonna lose now for the first time.

Labour blaming SNP is astonishing considering Scotland voting remain so far and labours heartlands deserting them for leave.

Labour might be punished in the north in the same way they were in Scotland post-indyref. And they cant blame * Corbyn as new labour are even more pro-EU and this is a culmination of years of neglect by Labour like in Scotland.

* they still will

Simon Schama on CNN saying everyone outside London and Scotland will be destroyed by the gods

East Anglian Nate Silver:

Predicted probability of Britain Remaining: 0.03
(33 of 382 areas reporting.)
Predicted vote share for Remain: 47.5 percent.
(90% prediction interval: 45.5 to 49.6 percent)

I'm going to bed.

Nice and tight now, just 20,000 in it.

did the northern ireland secretary just do a 'modern technology' will mean trade tariffs nbd on the BBC coverage?

well done Lambeth!

that UEA thing is saying 3% chance of remain, right?

Glasgow pushes Remain into the lead for a bit

Remain lead!

But 44% of the fuckers couldn't be arsed voting.

yeah wandsworth!

does anyone have more on the UEA dude, his publications record does not scream quants genius to me

Yasssss!

Xp

London outperforming for Remain but just don't think it's enough.

SAVE US URBAN SOPHISTICATES

the uea dude could be a literal dead baby for all i know, but regardless this looks pretty shit and his prediction seems to be via media rather pessimistic

What's the Lambeth walk? I want to do it.

Alba, I think it could be enough.

SAVE US URBAN SOPHISTICATES

East Lothian is full of them.

i said urban, not urbane

The Wandsworth results are in.

Remain: 118,463 (75%)

Leave: 39,421 (25%)

Wandsworth is one of the most pro-Remain areas in the country, but the remain lead here is even bigger than the Hanretty figures suggested it would be.

vision of Polly Toynbee having an eppy has just added an extra layer of hilarity

On Friday I’ll get my country back. Britain will vote remain | Polly Toynbee

The polls say the vote hangs in the balance. But I refuse to believe it. I don’t believe Britain will take leave of its senses and plunge down into the dark and rancid place the Brexiters would drag us. I want our country back – and I expect it to step back from the brink of this midsummer madness.

Waiting for the result, Thursday will feel like the longest day, though it’s not quite the solstice. I have no more evidence than anyone else, but I think I know this country isn’t the leave campaign’s ingrown place of phobias, conspiracies, fear of foreigners and all the politics of paranoid isolation.

classic internationalist argument from Toynbee there

I have no more evidence than anyone else, but I think I know
I have no more evidence than anyone else, but I think I know
I have no more evidence than anyone else, but I think I know
I have no more evidence than anyone else, but I think I know
I have no more evidence than anyone else, but I think I know
I have no more evidence than anyone else, but I think I know
I have no more evidence than anyone else, but I think I know

Better turnout in Scotland would really have helped matters here.

Lower turnouts in London and Glasgow was 65% or so

56%

High turnouts are people just turning out to say their lives are shit right?

Sadly, yes.

wtf am I doing still up? Look at the fkn time.

We'll have loads of time to catch up on sleep when we're all jobless.

Because you won't be able to sleep. Or sleep well. I hope you do though.

for some reason the great unwashed and disenfranchised found the cheat code by writing 'oi, i said oi! what you lookin' at, you little rich boy?' on their ballots thereby enfranchising themselves and confounding mi5 and now hitler is going to win

remain the favourite with the bookies again and i'm v drunk
