Sleeping through the apocalypse

Like Nathaniel, I decided - in a haze of apathy and disillusionment - that bed was infinitely preferable to watching a bunch of smug Tories sweep the board. There are obviously numerous live-blogging posts I could link to, but they only work in real-time (although Unity’s thread is very funny and worth a gander - as usual, music is kindly provided). Obviously the fall-out will continue over the weekend, so I’ll bring you the best on Monday.

Peter Kenyon - Asks if Gordon Brown is ready for the hard work it will take to get Labour fighting fit again?
Demos Greenhouse - Has Cameron really changed his (or the Tories’) spots? The fight-back begins.
Louise Baldock - Small Victories matter to those who worked hard.
Jo’s Jottings - A Lib Dem’r enjoys some schadenfreude at Labour’s expense.
Matt Davies - Points out that it wasn’t all good news for the Tories.
Philobiblon - Big news in Norwich, where for the first-time, the Greens have become the official party of opposition!

Anthony Barnett - Regardless of today’s landslide, Cameron may just end up being the Tory Neil Kinnock.
Obsolete - The Guardian’s last-minute “hatchet-job” on BoJo, was never going to work.
The Curvature - Cara can’t quite suppress her rage at the news that Johnny Vegas is alleged to have sexually assaulted a female member of the audience.
Amnesty Blogs - al-Jazeera’s cameraman in Guantanamo Bay, has been released. Gitmo savant, Andy Worthington, has more.
Paul Krugman - Emperor Krug, sniffing the sweet scent of blood, takes another shot at Obama. The supreme overlord of the Clintonites has been chipping away at him since January.

I’ve been quite measured and not ranty about the vegas incident… Must be sickening for something.
