    It's the 1997 poll.
    Well, that's confusing.
    Why would the BBC put the 1997 poll up like that?

    Argh!!
    @Sean_F may have been a little bit fibby. And I'm sure that given it's 3:30 in the morning and we're all tired, we all appreciate his little japes. Ho. Ho. Ho.

    If that's true then this is much more like a 1997GE result overall. Hence the confusion.

    Have the BBC adjusted their results too much based on a lot of very specific seats with weird local circumstances (Chingford, St Pancras, the Leicesters etc) ?

    I’m happy with that. Makes me more money. It’s quite close to 1997.

    Solid and smart Labour landslide but with some notable blemishes and warnings ahead.

    LibDems have done very well.

    All this talk of Conservative extinction was nonsense.

    Reform have flopped.

    And with that I’m going to bed.

    Farage gracious, not.

    How was that ungracious? He praised the other candidates and was quite sober and strategic in his comments about the new Labour government.
    He was decent, and lucid. But unexciting.
    Typically self-centred I thought - "I will put Clacton on the map" (thanks Nige but Clacton was already on the map, bit of an insight into how you think of the place). "Reform has come so far in a few weeks" (since he became leader, because clearly before then it was going nowhere). Watching his ego crash into the reality of being an MP in a small opposition party with a load of other egotists to deal with will be fun.

    There were some foolish predicted gains from Labour in the Exit Poll - like Cambridge, where they missed by miles, which have dropped out of the prediction. So far the only surprise on the upside is Skipton.
