interesting piece by Jeremy vine there, very worrying for labour.

Sky had covered that long ago earlier this evening.

Coverage is much better on Sky.

Isn’t that little tt Bercow on Sky?

Brexit party has caused 2 Tory losses so far

I disagree.

How come?

[Carl_Manchester]

-12% Swing from Labour so far and a lower turnout than expected - 62-63%

The leader of the opposition John Bercow is on Sky bleeting his defence, what a see you next tuesday.

Yes currently trying to defend himself as the speaker and his stance on Brexit.

Shouldn't be giving Lansman more airtime.

Prick.

Yeah, I guess.

Fascinating to watch someone so fked up.

Tried Sky, but could not watch more than 5 seconds of Bercow.

ITV seems most tolerable.

Worth noting - Across seats we have seen so far, Tories have been up 3%, exit poll predicted 6% - so underperforming a bit on the poll - have said it before, will say it again, it is early

We have had about 10 seats declared. Bit early to make those statements.

Yes early doors. Labour down 12% but Brexit hovering up many (up 7%). I’m going to sit watching this for a few hours as I’m still not convinced a 3% up tick is going to win this for the Tories. They’ll pick up 6% in the non contested constituencies but if the BXP carry on driving up at 6-7% then this evening isn’t over.

I think Brillo on the beeb is best, ITV is too game for a laugh ('87 reference )

He is such an dick...
But other than him, the Sky coverage is good. BBC was too many silly graphics

I think they've stole some of the Labour votes who wouldn't actually vote Cons regardless. I was thinking Farage had messed it up, but I'm starting to think it was a masterstroke.

Is there a seat by seat breakdown of the exit poll and can we see how it's doing against the actual returns?

Really? I don’t think so. Less than 24k people asked across the whole country about 160 polling stations - that’s a tiny tiny fraction of the circa 39m registered voters. It ‘could’ be well out on that basis. Which to me makes it a fair unblinkered observation to make.

Ahhh, my birthplace and home for the majority of my life, no surprise there, a turnip would win for Labour there.

Tend to agree.

This feels much like the evening of the EU referendum to me...went to bed fully expecting a Remain win. Woke up with a Leave one...

I'm starting to wonder if the Exit Polls have it wrong and we'll get a Labour led amalgam of some sort. Hopefully not.
