Exit Poll Tories 314 Seats

GBP is already down more than 1% on EUR and USD.

I seem to recollect it falling by much more on June 24th last year, and we were told by a lot of people that it was nothing to worry about, and even a good thing

Interesting odds at Ladbrokes now. They have Corbyn as being favourite to be Prime Minister on 1st July. Corbyn 4/5 vs May 5/4. I don't see where they get that from, unless the actual result for Labour is better than the exit poll, and actual result for Tories is worse.

Tories could take minority government with DUP support on exit poll levels. Labour would be unlikely to form a government which would be bigger than Tories alone.

It is looking to me like all the gains in Tory vote share are all in the wrong places and not leading to extra seats.

I'm starting to wonder if it's actually worse for the Tories. 10% swing to Labour in Putney even though Justne Greening still won.

If those figures turn out to be correct, we can probably look forward to doing this all again in a couple of months. Oh well, it's not as if we've got anything better to do...

The negotiations with the EU should be chugging along nicely by then. Oh, hang on…

He is not very happy though

He is not very happy though

I'm not sure he's not just pretending; he has nothing of substance to offer, so he depends on chaos to survive
