Good morning,

Well this is a bit different isn't it? We're so used to waking up after polling day and discovering who has secured power for another term. Not this time. Due to Covid restrictions there was no overnight counting so today and tomorrow will be results day.

I'll keep today's newsletter brief and let all the stories posted below do the talking because we are primed to bring you every declaration, every count, every word of political reaction and expert analysis.

I strongly recommend you keep checking in with us over the next two days and start on our excellent live blog which will bring you insight, breaking news and perhaps even a wee smile. If you were to begin your election binge on just one article start there.

Here are just some of our offerings this morning. There is so much more to come so visit our homepage during the day.

Readers are our lifeblood. We hope you stick with us over the next two days for all the results. If you want unlimited access to absolutely all our coverage, consider subscribing to us. We're offering 25% off all annual subscriptions right now. Simply use SCOTELEC21 at checkout. 

Subscribe today from just 18p a day for a whole year.
