    Sir John has done an outstanding job with this exit poll in what is a very difficult and complicated election.

    President Joe Biden is facing pressure from some major Democratic donors as he faces a critical few days in his campaign for re-election.

    A number of donors are publicly warning they will withhold funds unless Mr Biden is replaced as the party's candidate following his disastrous debate performance last week.

    They include Abigail Disney, an heiress to the Disney family fortune, Hollywood producer Damon Lindelof, Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel, and philanthropist and entrepreneur Gideon Stein.

    The results so far in Labour v Tory seats almost exactly match the results in 1997.

    It is only in Tory v LD seats where the Tories are doing significantly worse than 1997, especially in strong Remain seats.

    Tories are doing better in Scotland though than 1997 it looks like and will avoid the wipe out they received then

    Lib Dems being down on the exit poll in this new prediction is odd.

    Exit poll had Newton Abbot at 41% shot for them, Stratford-on-Avon 36%, Chichester 15%, and NE Hampshire 9%. Where are the equivalent misses so far?

    Good luck Tories if she is leader. Five wasted years ahead.

    The next tory PM is still at sixth form or at least at an Oxford Ball.
