Boris Johnson is typically opaque when asked what are his prospects of becoming leader of the Conservative Party after today's results, according to the Telegraph: "My chances are approximately as good as being reincarnated as a) an olive b) a baked bean or c) a Rice Krispie," he said. "In other words they're diminishing the whole time."
OSBORNE SPEAKS...
British finance minister George Osborne has hinted at more devolution for Scotland, after a dominant performance by SNP north of the border.
"The Conservative Party has been shut out of Scotland for a long time. We have to do what people are telling us," he told the BBC. "We've got to reflect on the result and make the people feel part of a strong United Kingdom."
Osborne, who held onto his Tatton seat in north-west England, earlier said: "To bring the United Kingdom together ... is going to be one of the big tasks we now face."
TALKING POINT
One of the key discussion points likely to emerge from this election is that of whether the system is fair.
For instance, going by vote share on the results we have so far, UKIP is the third biggest party, with 12.4%.
But they have just one MP so far in parliament.
UNITED KINGDOM?
Even at this early stage, Conservatives are talking about what they can do to keep Scottish voters happy, with George Osborne already hinting at more devolution.
It's perhaps a reflection of the perilous situation the UK finds itself in this morning: a Scotland dominated by nationalists whose goal is independence set against England whose majority party, the Conservatives, want a UK.
