Well Galloway's gone. I think that will please most people.

Having seen a few results I don't think that exit poll is at all accurate on individual seats. Results and swings seem to be varying a lot locally, although the Conservative collapse is fairly widespread. I'm not sure the Conservatives will get as many as 130-odd seats. Time for bed though.
Yes, the exit poll may have captured the share of the vote across the board, but not the individual seat variation on which everything depends. Reform could come second in 80% of the seats in England but actually only win a couple of seats.
 
I have work at 8.30 but can't take my eyes off of this.

It is shaping up to be an absolute massacre beyond what the exit poll predicted.
 
Ok scratch what I said earlier, lab slight drop, con slight increase on BBC forecast.

Results to come must be favorable to the Tories.

Still a big night though.
 
BBC and ITV now reforceasting. BBC pushing Labour majority down, while ITV has it increasing to 178 with 414 total MPs

BBC has Reform getting 4, ITV has Reform getting 10
