GBP is little changed.
***
Joint exit poll from BBC, ITV and Sky News show a huge landslide to the Labour Party.
Labour to win 410 seats, the most by any party since 2001
Conservatives routed with 131 seats, the fewest since the party was founded in 1834
The others:
Liberal Democrats on 61
Reform UK on 13
SNP 10
Greens 2
Again, this is the exit poll, so don’t set those numbers above in stone just yet. We’ll get actual results in the hours ahead.
While the psephologists and social media eggspurts, will bombard us with minutia in the hours and days ahead the bottom line is a landslide win for the Labour Party, they have a vast majority in parliament to work with.
Sir Keir Starmer on course to enter Downing Street as Britain’s 58th prime minister.
