Exit poll

Con majority of 68.

65 seats regarded technically as still too close to call. But that could mean an even bigger majority.

Blyth Valley has seen a 10% swing to the cons in line with the exit poll. 1st shock of the night

2024 will mark 50 years since any Labour leader other than Tony Blair won a majority.

Do you think Labour will take the hint anytime soon?

With ..% vote reductions in the NE ranging from -7 to -18% so far.

PMK. This is about Brexit. People want Brexit. It's like a death cult.

Pmk and last person standing in the house. Apart from the cat.

Cendrillion why don't you go and play in the Brexit Arms?

TreesSandSea · 12/12/2019 23:39

I should go to bed but I can’t stop rubbernecking. Like being on the scene of an awful accident.

Labour shed 15% of their vote in Blyth Valley and 16% in Sunderland South. Absolutely devastating - the North East has traditionally been the most uniformly Labour region in the United Kingdom.

Blyth Valley. That's it then. Seats in the south like Reading East and Portsmouth South will be Tory presumably as they only take a smaller swing? Yet they're student constituencies. Don't get it.

@SamCoatesSky

Exit poll latest

Approximate vote share:

Conservative 46%
Labour 32%.

The Conservative share might be greater than 1970 (46.2%).
First time that the incumbent party of government has increased its national vote share at three successive general elections 2015, 2017 and 2019.

Nicely done, Boris! Smile

BigChocFrenzy · 12/12/2019 23:42

It's 1987 since the Tories last won a decent majority
(Cameron's 2015 majority was tiny)

They only did it by becoming a hard right English Nationalist party, adopting Brexit and being prepared to break up of the UK and crash the economy over a cliff

What will they do for their next GE ?

BirdandSparrow · 12/12/2019 23:42

It's sad but labour will regroup. Will just take a while. Thing is, I heard something saying that no party has ever recovered from this much of a battering by the next election, so basically it's Labour in the wilderness for years now.

borntobequiet · 12/12/2019 23:43

PMK.
I hope there will be better results overnight. Is anyone really surprised at the self-harming outcomes in the NE?
