Without getting ahead of ourselves here - who's in line for the next Tory leader? Do they jump further to the right?

Torys only evens for a majority on betfair. roughly the same price for a hung Parliament
It might take our producers five minutes to find 60 economists who feared Brexit and five hours to find a sole voice who espoused it.

Via Ashley Kirk (Telegraph), just to evidence what SP said about exit polls.



So wriggle room there for the Tories to still get a majority but it's most unlikely to be a landslide, or even a hugely comfortable majority.

I wish I'd got some booze in. I was set for an early night, then I caught a glimpse of the exit poll while I was getting ready.

If she gets 326-330 surely that's not the strong backing for Brexit negotiations?

Surely the feeling around the country would be TO GO AGAIN.

Exit polls wouldn't surprise me. I think many have been underestimating Labour's prospects.

Any word on the turnout?

Amber Rudd and Gavin Barwell are two under threat, Twickenham is interesting, Vince Cable could be back in his old seat.
