Labour rebels are saying that if the party gets less than 20% of the vote, that will be the trigger for a leadership challenge.

Yeah, pretty much.  Really, it's tough to imagine a much worse result.  I suppose they could've lost to the Lib-Dems, too, but beating the Lib-Dems is nothing to be proud of.

I'm still shocked the BNP wound up carrying two seats.

BBC2 coverage obsessed with UK political situation and future of Gordon Brown.

You wouldn't know these were European elections.

If the BBC's correspondent on the liveblog over there is to be believed, that's it then:

2235Professor John Curtice of Strathclyde University says: On the results declared so far, there is one clear story - Labour's vote is well down on 2004 and it seems highly likely that they will get considerably less than 20% of the vote. They are in a tight battle with UKIP in order to obtain second place. Meanwhile, the Conservatives are struggling to maintain their share of the vote last time, while we still cannot rule out the possibility of the BNP winning a seat.
