General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time

[Ubik]

Isn't Morley & Outwood the seat Ed Balls lost?

Yup.

 

[Arruda]

yeah get the feeling as much of a prick as Farage is he respects some one who stands up for their beliefs. becuase for all Farages faults he does stand up for what he believes in..... it just that Farages beliefs are tosh!

Yeah, he was pretty clear on that by faulting May for looking insincere.

Switched over from BBC to Channel 4. Damn this is good!

@rcoobc how we looking now?

Based on the exit poll, we should expect a few unexpected Tory gains. YouGov put them on 302, exit poll puts them on 314.

Still annoyed the Scots gave them 8 bloody MPs when they should have battered them (like Battersea did).

I'm only looking at the data from yougov's slowly updating spreadsheet

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iNphVMKs_h37whSZ_9r6ge9T8LgeWD07JtP63MS5WfI/htmlview

Which annoyingly doesnt actually show who win each seat so I have to work that out myself

But

We've had NO seats go to Labour which should have been Tory according to their model, and 3 to Tory from (2 Labour, 1 SNP)

 

[Nick 0208 Ldn]

So are Labour getting votes both from Brexiters who don't trust Tories to execute it and from Remainers who want revenge on Tories for making it possible?

What Sky News have theorised, is that voters considered Brexit to be done and dusted, and went to the polls with other things in mind. So an already weak Tory offering, lacked even the shield of Brexit.

 

[SuperiorXI]

Labour cleaning house

He votes at the school I used to work at.

Disgusting man.

He came in, had 5 minutes in the school before prepping for media etc. He needed the toilet, I just could not remember where I left the key. Silly me.

Big Ken holds his seat.

BBC forecasting 322 seats for the Tories

 

[altodevil]

FFs Scotland

 

[Sigma]

Why has the exit poll now been updated to 322 from 316 for the Tories?

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

BBC revising Tory seats upwards.

[Berbasbullet]

Feel like the South will be all pro conservative, am I right in saying that?

 

[Rolandofgilead]

Labour gain bury south from the cons

This. The arrogance of some people trying to claim that people who moved from UKIP to Labour because they changed their mind or 'realised their mistakes' re Brexit is astounding.

North of London, south of the North. That'll be middle England Tory heartland.

What are the prospects for each party now?

 

[Sigma]

Angus Robertson out

 

[Cheesy]

Robertson gone by several thousand.

 

[Dan]

Angus Robertson gone

 

[Kentonio]

Some frankly staggering results for Labour tonight. Corbyn must be bouncing off the walls with joy.

 

[Flamingo Purple]

Angus Robertson gone, feck sake Scotland

 

[711]

I suppose lots of people have said this, but it's just struck me Corbyn's campaign is reminiscent of John Major's. Soapboxes, momentum, and that.

 

[Nytram Shakes]

so the forcast is 322 to con and 8 to the DUP..... theirs your next government

 

[Paxi]

They just said that Tories insiders do not expect to outperform the exit poll so what's going on?

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Angus Robertson is gone.

 

[SalfordRed18]

SNP having an awful night.

 

[Pexbo]

The vote share % is slowly creeping back towards Tories.

 

[Baxter]

Angus Robertson is gone

 

[Kentonio]

Ah ffs, come on Scotland!
