Exit poll looks to be right then?

not sure as Newcastle was always Labour stronghold.

Still to early, it'll be very interesting to see the outcome though. I still fully expect a Tory win.

Amazing how bad May and the Tories have made such a hash of this. Literally offered no sort of positivity at any point in this election. Especially after Brexit the public have been crying for change.

worth noting that Tories received 5000 extra votes  in Sunderland South than 2015. More increase for them than Labour had if I heard correctly.

So is there still a glimmer of hope that Labour could pull this off or nah? I'm not sure how accurate the exit polls are.

unlikely, but not impossible. can't see it happening but if this exit poll is correct (or near correct), it spells the end for Theresa May and gives us a hung parliament.

exit polls can be hit and miss!

So the contrary of a protest vote?

Not a protest at all, Brexit has grown in popularity. The original UKIP gains of 2015 were a protest to a degree from all parties however the Conservatives being the most eurosceptic in nature suffered the least loses, those loses forced the referendum to be held, now they're redundant as a party voters have gone back to original parties it seems.

Boris Johnson now 2/1 to replace Theresa May as Tory leader. Philip Hammond (7/1), Sajid Javid (12/1) and Michael Gove (14/1)

Just saw Kuenssburg say a senior Tory has said she (MAY) won't be allowed to fight another election, anything less than a majority of 30 is damaging.

Leader of UKIP Paul Nuttall

"UKIP will be the guard dogs of Brexit and ensure Theresa May doesn't backslide on Brexit"

That before the elections and before it looked like they may lose every seat.  One of those things in life you end up getting pulled up on and laughed at.  What a disaster for UKIP and what a joke!  Guard dogs indeed!  Throw him some sausages.
