AN exit poll by IPSOS for BBC/ITV News/Sky News is predicting a Labour landslide.
Labour has enjoyed an average twenty percentage point for a long, long, time and it seems the widely predicted Tory party collapse has indeed come to pass.
Simply put, the country is pig sick of the Tories, and they have voted accordingly.
The Exit Poll predicts:
LABOUR 410
Conservative 131
Lib Dems 61
Reform Party 13
SNP 10
Plaid Cymru 4
Green 2
Others 19
Early indications are that it’s looking like a bruising night for the SNP who are facing a raft of losses, but a brighter one for the Lib Dems – it seems Ed Davey’s jolly japes during an otherwise dull general election campaign have paid dividends.
IT’s worth repeating that this is only a poll, and that no results have yet been declared.
Even at this stage though, with the Tories facing slaughter, you wonder how many potential Conservative leadership contenders will lose their seats tonight – and who will be left to replace Rishi Sunak who will surely resign before the weekend is out.
