Blyth Valley Tory Gain it will be a bloodbath based on that
Possibly. There won't be swings on that scale everywhere, and there are some reports that the complications of a split vote with the Brexit Party in the mix may save some Labour MPs despite their vote shares dropping substantially. Clearly we won't know the truth of it until the morning, BUT the early indications are that the exit poll is going to be somewhere close to accurate in the round.
King Bongo, that's a useful comment, though, as it suggests that this may be why the EU didn't take the referendum all that seriously beforehand and offered Cameron sod all in his renegotiation (which ended up harming rather than helping him).
yes - the EU misread the UK as badly as some read the EU and it's ability to stick together - now the UK can clearly speak I suspect rather than everyone playing hardball a decent deal will happen - Boris is a pragmatist and will do a deal.
Hard to know if Snell, Flint et all would have backed Brexit in another hung parliament. I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt but equally they could be massive opportunists

Maj unlikely to be less than 50. Some uncertainty in London, Wales, Scotland
The south and London will probably make it smaller.
Fantastic call.

Thank you Ed Miliband.
5 years to scrap the BBC, Channel 4 and the 'Supreme' Court.
Agree, the best £3 I have ever spent.
So much for Andrew Neal going viral not to mention Boris hiding in a fridge what a load of crap.
Now looking forward to the Beaconsfield result and Dominic Grieve's meaningful vote.
