Liberal Democrat Leader Jo Swinson has lost in East Dunbartonshire.

Conservatives, with the exception of Scotland, have had a great night. Their political enemies have been electorally decimated.

But friends are expressing disappointment in Scotland.
Speaking of Scotland...

Conservatives HOLD Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk

Con: 48.4% (-5.5%)
SNP: 38.8% (+6.0%)
LDem: 8.1% (+3.4%)
Lab: 4.7% (-3.9%)
Conservatives HOLD Hexham, notably one of the only in the region to increase their share.

Con: 54.5% (+0.4%)
Lab: 31.6% (-2.5%)
LDem: 10.1% (+3.0%)
Grn: 3.7% (+1.0%)

Historical first.

The House Judiciary Committee just passed articles of impeachment without alleging an actual crime.

White House wants a prolonged trial. Think their strategy is the more sound strategy.

Democrats would love more than anything for Republicans to just dismiss.
Btw, @RepSlotkin is running around scared telling everyone that she is undecided.

She's doing what the Deep State taught her to do—lie and deceive people.

Just last week the office was essentially telling constituents to stick it. They said her mind was already made up.
@RepSlotkin I know my good friend disagrees with me on this. But the White House strategy is the only path forward:

1. To punish this abuse of power.
2. To stop the inevitable redo impeachment when Joe Biden ends up trailing in every battleground state.

Paul Williams barely won Stockton South in 2017. He's going down in another Conservative GAIN over Labour.
Gordon Marsden held Blackpool South by roughly the same margin in 2015 and 2017. That seat goes in another Conservative Gain.
Conservatives were bullish on their chances in Sedgefield
and North West Durham earlier in the night. Last few calls lent credibility to that view.

Dewsbury, Redcar and Workington looking like potential Conservative Pickups.
UPDATE: Workington is a Conservative Gain. Near 10-point swing to Cons from Labour and 8k vote swing to 4k rough majority.
I think we're about to start really seeing those gains.

How it is possible that @BorisJohnson is being investigated in the USA for potentially being compromised but nobody in the United Kingdom including the #bbcqt #media #Police have investigated this #crime #Brexit the #GeneralElection is days away #ReleaseTheRussianReport
The intrigue over a 'buried' probe into Russian spying deepened last night amid claims in security circles that it contains references to blackmail fears concerning Boris Johnson. #ReleaseTheRussianReport
One expert witness, who gave evidence to the ISC inquiry, has claimed privately to friends that he believes Boris Johnson was 'compromised' by a Russian businessman on a foreign trip in 2016
This is getting crazier 😱 #ReleaseTheRussianReport #GeneralElection2019 #GetJohnsonGone

You may have seen my research on A/B testing reported by the @observer online, in print or via the #Marr show. Here is a full @Medium report by me on what the news article and @AndrewMarr9 show touched upon. Big ol' thread 1/

Political parties using #Facebook ads have a powerful capacity to hone their messages. Unlike the past where expensive and hard to organise focus groups were the only avenue available for parties to test their messages; today all the political parties engage in #ABtesting 2/
Political parties have never had it so good, as it’s ‘us’ (the users), who help make this happen. Today party campaigning is Janus-faced, a fantastic example of this phenomenon is via the many faces of @joswinson the #LiberalDemocrats were recently pushing. 3/

Right we'll be off in a bit. Parliamentary debate on second reading of the government's legislation implementing the Brexit bill kicks off shortly parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/8b…
It's going to be an awful day. Several hours of debate. Then a vote on second reading. Then, assuming that passes, a vote on the programme motion. Then three hours of committee.
The second reading vote does not seem that important. Many MPs who will vote for amendments, and who might even ultimately vote against the bill, will vote for it at second reading in order to get it onto the amendment stage.

Historic rebel victory:

“Johnson was the first prime minister to lose his first Commons vote since 1894. His attempt, in alliance with his advisor Dominic Cummings, to bully parliamentarians into submission, had fallen apart” politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/09/…
2/ (Johnson) “had barely started talking before Conservative MP Phillip Lee walked across the floor of the House, turned to the right, rose up the steps and sat beside Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson.

It was a moment of high political drama.
3/ “Swinson is mercenary in how she utilises these moments for the strongest possible impact. Johnson saw him, lost his trail of thought, and suddenly there was a flicker of despair in his eyes. He had a majority of one and it was now gone, right in front of him.”
