    Starmer didn't do that well in his own seat. Majority halved.

    Well this is all very pleasing.

    Greens as many seats as Reform is a nice side story after that exit poll.

    15 seats to declare

    Con ceiling now 129

    The first exit poll was spot on.

    Not sure what the revised version was all about

    I wouldn't think so.

    There are 200 marginals which will be in play under FPTP *if* the party can get its act together
