Crick: Glasgow East wil be "very, very, very close"

James Forsyth 11:12pm

On Newsnight just now, Michael Crick—who is at the count in Glasgow East—reported that the result is going to be very close. The Guardian is reporting a rumour that the SNP has won. If Labour has lost its 25th safest seat, then Gordon Brown is in even bigger trouble than we thought.

Is this not Labour just spoon-feeding gloom to its friends so that the win by 300-400 votes looks massively impressive and beats expectations?

Okay I'm guessing. But how can anyone know anything particularly certain with 20 minutes of voting done?

Margaret Curran just couldn't answer his question at all.

I hope he manages to nail Mr Marshall about the £500,000 expenses.
