Brown is surely deeply in trouble now. This was Labour's 25th safest seat. Many Labour MP's in marginal seats will be really begin to worry now.
Congratulations to the SNP.
Apparently the recount is a Curran problem as their are two hopeless lefties with the surname. I know what it's like to a have a problem with Curran's as I have a Curran as my wife but she is definitely not a leftie!
SNP have apparently a 350-400 majority according to sources.
Spoke to soon before. Looks like recount now! Still to be confirmed. Who is calling for it.
Result in Glasgow East due in next 5 mins. Will this see Scotland send Brown to Political Wilderness.?
Just seen John Mason celebrating with his supporters on the BBC. Labour out to 20-1 on Betfair. "Gnasher" Sturgeon having fun laughing at Danny Alexander.
Staying up to watch the hopeful demise of Labour in Glasgow East. Turnout is high at 42.245%.
Whatever happens Gordon Brown's Scottish Labour will have had a very bloody nose.
Reports are that the Tories may even get up to third which will be a good result.

The words Virus, Microsoft and Government Websites in one article should make us all a bit wary.
Despite the appalling spelling, the article is as follows.
Key Government websites have been infected by a virus that allows cyber-criminals to steal browsers' personal details, it was reported today. More than a thousand Government and consumer sites are said to have been hit, including some run by the NHS and a local council.The Times article is here.
The Times Online says the hackers are Eastern European and that security experts estimate at least two million coputers worldwide have been affected.
It reports that the Asprox virus is unlink other viruses; it sits undetected on mainstream sites and automatically installs itself on a user's computer potentially allowing the hackers to have access to financial information. Joe Stewart, director of malware research at SecureWorks, said Asprox "appears to be trying to build up the size of the botnet, infecting people through web pages by adding an IFRAME.” According to securecomputing.net, the attacks occur on websites that are running Microsoft SQL-SVR (Server) that already have some sort of vulnerability.

Instead of ranting on about who invented or voted for the NHS Annabel Goldie has done something simple and effective to back the 60th anniversary of the NHS, she has given blood.
This marking of the anniversary, is typical of the understated and very effective way, that Annabel has led the Tories in the past 18 months.
Mind you as one of the comments on the site says
Why not, she gave blood at the opening of the NHS.
The Times reports that the National Audit Office is refusing to sign GB Plc's accounts or at least the Treasury versions. What a surprise this is, as the Government attempts to put the 50bn bail out of Northern Rock anywhere but the debit side of the accounts. The Times says
Mr Darling is fighting a bruising battle with the National Audit Office (NAO), which is unhappy at the way that the nationalisation of Northern Rock is being treated in the Treasury’s books. The annual report from No 11 was published yesterday but, in a highly unusual departure from normal procedure, without the department’s resource accounts.The problem is that if the Northern Rock bail out is put on the debit side the borrowing this government has to do will exceed all expectations by a significant amount.
“This is a fresh humiliation for Alistair Darling. He has lost control over public finances. Now it looks as if he can’t get his department’s books past the auditors.”This is just another in the long line of demonstrated incompetencies of this disintegrating government. Whilst Darling and Brown argue about 10p tax, CGT, VED, Fuel Duty etc the accounts and indeed the whole nation is slipping deeper and deeper into an economic quagmire.
