The exit pole predicting no overall majority.

It looks to me like the Tories have picked up the UKIP votes and labour have picked up some Green votes. But that's it from me tonight, got a long day sightseeing and visiting a sheep station tomorrow, so I'll have to go to sleep and just check in tomorrow. Everything crossed!

Yes DJ, Newcastle did vote remain but by a small majority.

Vince Cable could be back in.
That would be good.

Rudd gone??????!!!!!!

Tegan2 Thu 08-Jun-17 23:34:04

Even if it all goes pear shaped, the Conservatives have had one hell of a shock and May is probably finished....

whitewave Thu 08-Jun-17 23:35:15

Sounds as if she's lost her Home Secretary

Ginny42 Thu 08-Jun-17 23:36:27

Where is this information ww?

whitewave Thu 08-Jun-17 23:37:39

On BBC they said -Hastings - that Labour is looking estactic and Tories looking very tense

Ginny42 Thu 08-Jun-17 23:39:20

If Rudd goes and May resigns does that mean Boris for PM?

whitewave Thu 08-Jun-17 23:40:20

I think that whatever happens Corbyn is definately the winner tonight -when you think the enormous mountain he had to climb. It is astounding!!

mostlyharmless Thu 08-Jun-17 23:40:43

Nooooooo! Not Boris!!!

whitewave Thu 08-Jun-17 23:40:58

No Govesad!!

mostlyharmless Thu 08-Jun-17 23:41:52

I think Boris has been a disaster in this election too,

whitewave Thu 08-Jun-17 23:46:03

Labour win

suzied Thu 08-Jun-17 23:46:37

We didn't hear much from Boris this election. Do you think he was being told not to appear in public?

whitewave Thu 08-Jun-17 23:46:38

But Tories up

whitewave Thu 08-Jun-17 23:48:19

Still all up for grabs -

suzied Thu 08-Jun-17 23:48:53

Tories up cos of UKIP slide ( hopefully)

GracesGranMK2 Thu 08-Jun-17 23:49:45

Night prosecco if you are still watching.

durhamjen Thu 08-Jun-17 23:49:49

The naughtiest thing Theresa May has ever done is call this election - as Matt Frei said from Maidenhead.

GracesGranMK2 Thu 08-Jun-17 23:59:05

Swindon is doing better for Labour then the exit pole would suggest - it's all over the place at the moment.
