Transcripts For CSPAN2 BBC Election Night Coverage 20240713

We all know newcastle. He has been masterminding this operation making sure the lightweight papers use and its fantastic. There is another trick to this. The trick is a computer. There is another trick to this. The trick is a Computer Program designed to keep a running tally so you get the result the moment that the votes are counted. Stay tuned im going to be watching to see if they manage to do it. We are keeping an eye on it but be too fair i think its fair to say the good people of sunderland are not giving up on this. Lets have a look at some of these images that have just come in because Sunderland City Council also has ever very efficient and accounting and they are hoping as well to match that record of 43 minutes so the boxes are coming into some blend up to pace. Look at that. They do want to be beaten by life l. A. So we will see what happens in Sunderland South which is taken the honors and the pastor thats a scene in sunderland is the boxes come in from across the constituency. Also of course looking at newcastle because the newcastle they have served in first place in the past. The same kind of running in rushing happening there going to the teams that improperly put to their bases so we have newcastle counting as well. Three constituencies really are hoping to be first but blyth valley very excited about the prospects of surprising us all and coming in first for the first time so well see if they do that at we encouraged them to be hugely competitive and get the results within half an hours time that would be great. As things stand the exit poll is suggesting at this point that there will be a pretty solid conservative majority possibly a baby seats or more for Boris Johnson and 191 seats making more than 70 losses would be worse than Michael Foote performance in 1983. Lets hear from one of labors key figures. At this exit poll is anywhere near right this result is a catastrophe for Jeremy Corbyn and the labour party. If it is anywhere near this. Anywhere near you are right this will be extremely disappointing for the party overall. See that this comes as a shock to you does not . I thought it might be close and i think most people thought he polls were narrower and we knew it a tough because brexit is in isolation but if it is anywhere near this is extremely disappointing. To be honest about that. We have had nine years of the conservative ballot which many people think have been very lackluster. Its a conservative government that youve said is going to sell the nhs to donald trump and yet even in these circumstances if this poll is anywhere near right its the worst result since 1935. If it is anywhere near right, thats right. I think brexit has dominated and it has dominated everything by the looks of it. We thought there would be a wider debate but from this evidence there clearly is in. Some of the evidence i got from your candidates was it wasnt just brexit. No question brexit is playing badly with a lot of their core vote and that could explain why clinton is pulled you losing many seats but it was also Jeremy Corbyn. I think Jeremy Corbyn there were issues raised because of the campaign against him. We went to the campaign we got Jeremy Corbin on broadcast media in the debates and you saw his polling ratings began to rise quite well so i dont think that was the big issue. The big issue is brexit. It sounds like people wanted a decision and even those people that may well have supported him and some got frustrated with what just get this out of the way. The partys position obviously and you vandalize it yourself time and time again we have had to strive for those members of those supporters to remain the we were representing many seats so that was the dilemma we face. When you look at this exit poll as they say if its anywhere near, the 10 that area is it time for you and Jeremy Corbyn to stand down and make way for another one . We will see the results in the morning and decisions will be made. If it is like this its over for you mr. Corbin. We will make appropriate decisions. Mr. Kenner he went after 2 feet and every time he gained seats losing seats it must be game over for you and mr. Corbin. We will see the results themselves an appropriate decisions will be made. Realize make the decisions in the best interests of our party. If you look at this possible result down to 191 seats going by history you lost the 2024 election as well. Now opposition never gained. I would dispute that did what has clearly come through with these results not that this was a brexit election. We were hoping a wider range of issues would cut there a debate. It wasnt just that. People were concerned you and mr. Corbin had dragged the labour party too far left and you were going to spray money around like confetti most of it borrowed and it would be a hard left government unlike any we have seen. That was also a factor in the election, big factor. I disagree. When you look at the individual policies that we put forward if you look at the poll ratings they have the overwhelming support. They couldnt be overwhelming support if you just lost 71 seats. I think this election was dominated by brexit. Are you saying despite this potential result the labour party should continue with your style of socialism you and mr. Corbin style of socialism that this is not a reputation that you taking labor to the left. Its not time to return labor to the centerleft. I believe we are the centerleft. The center is exactly where we are. As i say i think this was a brexit election. You cannot blame it all on brexit. This is a judgment on you on Jeremy Corbyn on your brand of socialism. I disagree but i think brexit to dominate this election and thus what people of main their minds up about. I hate to use the expression i think they did want to get it done. You are saying then that if brexit is done the labour party should continue with corbin is some but without Jeremy Corbyn. Let me be clear. I dont think brexit will be done as a result of this. Think what will happen and people i think almost in despair wanted to get brexit over and done with because they have had enough of whats been going on and to negotiate a deal. Let me just finish if i can. I think people on all sides are just frustrated and want brexit out of the way. The disappointment that they will find is brexit isnt going to go away and what will happen as there will be negotiations for long period of time and our European Partners than anybody else. We are running out of time but i think a lot of people find it not credible for you to blame it all on her exit not the scale of the defeat. I could see if it was a smaller defeat or a Hung Parliament but we have covered the nhs and everything it had to say about it, taxandspend and all these issues, not just brexit. Its not credible to blame its all done to brexit. Those issues like ending disparity i think we did win the argument but its quite clear people thought there were other priorities in this brexit. Frustration is broken through. It thank you for being with me. Thank you for joining us early in the night in the quick look at the board just on the brexit thing very interesting to hear really underlining the fact that its all about her exit. With that in your view explained the performance . It also doesnt explain it to labor cabinets have been talking to us the last few weeks. Its not about brexit. Candidates have said to us again and again and again we have a problem with brexit but we also the problem of the leadership in the problem with what they have found on the doorstep that people were reluctant in traditional labor to back Jeremy Corbyn. Problems with antisemitism and problems with language in the manifesto in anything like this i dont think the labour party as a whole will buy the argument that was just about eu. Will come back to that. Clearly this exit poll is anything corrected means they would be conservative gains in some rather unexpected areas to what i would like to do now is to cross the newsroom and go straight to our results center because that is where mike colleague is keeping an eye on the details of some of these results and reduce going to toss about the likely gains based on the exit poll. At this exit poll is correct we are looking at the best results by the conservatives since Margaret Thatcher in 1987 provided on the screen are likely concerted gains based on that exit poll and they include working 10 which came to be emblematic in this count this campaign that the tories strategy. The tories north of england traditionally labour seats came to be symbolized. According to the exit poll that has succeeded and they have gained working 10. Bishop off went atop and server target and then a list of seats that make a part of the socalled redwall. That that is a bank of seats stretching from the north, the northern welsh coast right across the north of england to the coast and down to the midlands. They include seats like dudley North Halifax wakefield bolton northeast in don valley. According to the exit poll they are all conservative gains from the labour party and one more on the screen here britain and southwell for another top tory target. Looks as if they have been successful there tonight at the exit poll is correct that but i want to show a little bit of detail. Just explain what youre seeing here is the results last time around in 2017 because we are still waiting for tonights results. We can show you what we think is going to happen and what the forecast is going to happen based on the exit poll. With this the vote share the conservatives with 50 of the vote and thereby than labor at 37 . This is really interesting again based on exit poll data conservatives up 12 points and labour down 10. One more thing i want to show you we will expect to swing from labour to the conservatives of 11point if that exit poll is correct and the other seats by showed you just a moment ago are all suggesting swings of nine or 10 based on that exit poll. Read at thank you very much. Throughout the night to look at whether those expected gains are realized and the detail the individual results where we may see some really intriguing dramatic patterns emerging. Talking about dramatic patterns lets talk about whats happening on the Financial Markets and the sterling given we have now revealed the results of the exit poll. Lets talk about first of all. People are looking out in queues and things like that. It happened immediately when you mentioned the exit poll results the sterling trading at 1. 32 as low as 1. 375. Up 3 cents and six at poll couple of same level as it was a year and a half ago. What that is reflecting is the strange old chime in terms of what seems to be stable and good. A small majority may have left Boris Johnson and factions within his party. There was a feeling. A clear majority if this is correct we should say gives the Prime Minister room to maneuver tube get gains in the comments of stops on the problems. Thats intriguing because in the past you and i have discussed the volatility of the market especially the pound sterling around answered the brexit and lots of people didnt like the concept in the first place but are we saying the confidence thats been reflected in the battle of the pound shows they have basically accepted the brexit will happen in the uncertainty is dissipated or not . The differences a disruptive form if no deal was taken off the table by getting some sort of a deal. There will be more volatility as the results come through. Which brings me to talk about the fact that the Brexit Process is full steam ahead. Was clear earlier bool move quickly possibly before christmas possibly. What will be the view in brussels and at the heart of the eu about what with this result translates into in terms of the Brexit Process. Snakes really interesting atmosphere because you have all leaders of the eu together because they are the eu summer right now. So results came out the leaders were supposed to be discussing libya that i was told everyone is on the phone having a look at what the results were. Its been damaging for this country and damaging for the whole of the eu and the active economies particularly in trading partners in the European Union. I got a text message straightaway from a politician in the country saying this means saying byebye to our british friends. We welcome the results. This has nothing to do with politics but everyone knows this is just an exit hole and in a moment it could change put it this result was confirmed this is what the eu wants to see. Its not about labour its about having a clear path forward in ending the uncertainty and as faisal was explaining about the markets it this is a big win for Boris Johnson this could mean he can ignore the extreme brexit jars of his Party Perhaps with a closer relationship with the eu after brexit. Those their initial thoughts tonight but any thought of uncertainty might disappear if these are confirmed forget it. This is brexit stage i. If we leave your pink union in january we go to brexit trade negotiations. The clock is ticking once again they are still skeptical to put it politely about the timetable for Boris Johnson is split on this feature trade negotiations. Or is johnson says hes confident he can get this deal done and it will turn out to be less than 11 months. You would have to have the trade deal discussed agreed and ratified here in the uk and by the eu and if its a more vicious agreement that means not just eu and brussels but all of the parliaments as well to the eu is skeptical about that but it pours jones insist on getting some barebones free trade negotiations they say you wanted then quickly you have to do it on our terms. If he has a solid majority he can change his mind and break the promise of getting it done in the year. His essay for him . He will have the freedom not to do whatever he wants but much more freedom than we have seen for any Prime Minister. The Bbcs Andrew Marr is picking things up for us. This could be one very big night for Boris Johnson. It certainly kid. Talk about the labour party but lets talk about the tories because if its true and hes only an exit poll but if its true that the red wall has fallen then that changes the nature of the conservative party quite dramatically. Lots and lots of new tory mps who constituents depend on Public Services like high public spending that will change the nature of the tories in Program Prince going to give Boris Johnson as laura was thing a lot more freedom to maneuver. If he wants to extend the transition. Maaco be able to do so and in those tradeoffs next year he will be able to give more than he was intending to. Probably its frankly a slightly softer brexit. Nigel farage are going to be feeling cross and Boris Johnson is going to be freed so he can show us the real Boris Johnson politically and thats really important. Given youve been commentating of these things for some yes this would involve the majority achieved by Boris Johnson dismissed by many of his colleagues as a joke the biggest one since Margaret Thatcher and 87 the worst labor performance since 83 and going back to the days of the second world war. They are there are very big records being broken in that sense. There up so we are. 2019 is going to be remembered as a historic turning point in british politics. We are going to leave the eu on Boris Johnsons terms. We we are going to build an even more solidly as he governing party. Labour has crashed and all the enthusiasm of younger writers all the froth bubbling excitement on social media has gone precisely nowhere. One final thing we havent talked about its just an exit poll the s p forecast to get a g5 seeds in scotland. That means theres going to be a major confrontation over scottish independence. The freshly invigorated Boris Johnson on the one hand in the freshly invigorated Nicola Sturgeon on the other. You may recall the former leader of the conservative party had promised if the s p get more than 50 seats in scotland she will swim naked in loch ness. Something to forge im sure. In deeper. Talk to a bit later on. We are still of course waiting for her first glimpse of Jeremy Corbyn and my colleague Nick Robinson is there. Nick your thoughts on whats expected and indeed your thoughts on the exit poll itself. Seen at no sign of mr. Corbin here and in the sense is a good want to reveal where hed be watching the resulting two years ago is outside of his house and not a word from the corbin camp. They are now having to think about what they do and how quickly does mr. Corbin quit because quite he will have to do now prevent the exit poll tells us as the long battle has been won. Horace johnson will be able to take the idea of britain out of the eu. Another battle over who controls british politics. Theres a new battle beginning already. The battle over the future of the left a of battle of the future leadership of the labour party and it began on the program claiming this has nothing to do with the policies they had, pierce the thought of the leadership of the labour party produced because people were wary of wrecks it. That is not what many people have Labour Party Tell me. They say day in and day out Jeremy Corbyn is the problem. Yes but that brexit is a problem. That argument about the results was the wrecks it was a corbin was the policies on the left . That will rage and it may even reach in this hall because the other candidates is Emily Thornberry the foreign secretaries will be one of the candidates to lead the labour party. She may use her speech in a few hours time to spell out just how bad she thinks this really is for our party. Been assassinated and we will be back straightaway with any sign of corbin or we are getting reaction from labour mps in this election. Just phillips in birmingham this is just phillips saying of very few words she says for how heartbroken i am for the community i represent who have been through enough. This is a sense for you of the deep regret and the sadness that is being felt by some labor people. Richard bergen who is the shadow justice secretary. Disappointing exit poll he says. Thats the if its accurate and if as it seems this was a brexit election than the next one wont be given johnsons thatcherite agenda and johnson must continue to be fought with radical turn it if not triangulation, the challenge the tories had on. I would say Richard Bergen saying the corporate approach has been right that theyve been put off track a brexit. That is clearly the line for corbin loyalists. We heard it straight from jon mcdonald and his close allies and Richard Ergen who is absolutely part of the corbin tried. For a lot of the old in the labour party and its early in the night in thats not will be heard back from candidates have been on the doorstep. Corbin had much rigor and deeper problems on the door said send us a tweet from someone from the right of the labour party. This is one mans fault. His campaign his manifesto is leadership. Of course its early. Ive just had a message from a conservative in yorkshire. The tories were looking to try to scoot apart a lot of those seats. Someone is telling me wait filled henceforth out the door and they feel in a good position to be taking those kinds of seeds. They are going to have to make big inroads grabbing labour territory using brexit is part of the reason but not the only part of the story. We will be back and im told they might get the results and maybe seven or eight minutes time. Thats not long for us to live for first results in dating giving a warm welcome to our viewers around the world. I know many have joined on pbs america worldwide for thank you very much or watching this bbc special on the general election and the first december election in the uk since 1923. The exit poll we have suggesting that the conservatives under Boris Johnson are on course to be in power with the majority of very solid jordie of the teen plus seats. This is the exit poll that we are projecting on the broadcasting house and they are the figures for you the projection of Boris Johnson on 368 in the labour party on a very low score according to the poll of 191. If you look to the right of the forecasting house where you see the life thats where sophie is surveying the landscape on a big map of the uk. Lets join her. Every constituency is the same size. This is laid out in the colors of the 2017 general election but it gives you a good idea of the balance of power. Take london for example. Looks really quite small but with the mps most of them labour it distorts a completely but im looking around the edges of london. This is almost the english channel. As most constituency in the uk as this one. Its less than three square miles. Right appear in the northwest of scotland is the uks largest constituency on a normal map. Looks huge a big swath of yellow here exactly the same size as everywhere else. But our map does show you very clearly is the red wall. If you take you too northeast well for example right here this is wrexham. Wrexham has been labour since 1935. Serve marginal seat and they voted to leave the eu. Will it turned blue for the first time tonight . A will walk you along the red wall through northwest england. 75 seats here and almost all of them labor into yorkshire produces wakefield another labour marginal since 1932. Again they voted to leave the eu as did grand prix thats been labour since 1945. How much will this wall crumble tonight . A over here its banned page who carried out this exit poll. Your initial reaction. Were you surprised . Im surprised at the scale of the majority that the exit poll has been designed to do precisely this. Most of the pulse of we have had in the campaign than the percentage share of the vote but our system delivers surprises like this. Its very unlikely that the exit poll is long enough to mean the conservatives have not got a large majority. Looking at this red baldy expected to crumble this evening . If the poll is correct and ive no reason to believe it is and will see dozens of labour seats going to the conserved cindy macy faces with a 5000 majority for the scale of this victory looks as though even seats like that ashfield obviously worthington switching. Spent theres another area we are keeping up close i am wales labour stronghold until now. In wales the conservatives on the basis making gains in the midlands. This is a recasting in some ways of british Politics Around the brexit vote. Thats what this election is about. Im going to be talking about that evening. We allow the voters have joined this is evening for their responses. One labour in one. One labor went concerted. You voted labor very surprised . Not really. I was disappointed but not surprised. This is an exit poll but based on this there would the conservative win. Were you expecting that . I was expecting that. We cant break get brexit then with good strong policies. This map is laid out in the 2017 colors so we have to now pull it up and assert the results come in we will start relaying it. Good luck sophie. Well be back with you later. Its been very wet all day but they look to be in good shape. Well we will go back to sophie in a short while. Blyth valley how are they doing with account . C what the time 2243 . A record was 44 minutes set in sunland in 2015 but in the counting call here. The high turnout which we have been talking about we have had records break. 28 boxes came in and 14 minutes of that was a record in itself. We have seen all the people here counting furiously 2244 is the time now so a broken record but its going to be very close. In blyth valley with the help of Bill Crawford with the first results and sondland he is getting the system going and he was the one that was trying to target that record. The trick was using new software. They used a Computer Program designed to keep running a running tally so as soon as the last vote went in the winner had been declared. Hasnt happened yet but working hard to make sure they are the first tonight in 2019. We will get you straightaway when it happens. One place along the declaring early is st. Ives which is interesting in the southwest. Their high winds on the island meaning the votes from their art delayed getting into that involves the Royal Air Force for the counting people in st. Ives. One of the things we need to look at now given the dramatic patterns suggested in the exit poll is look at the labor share of the vote in some of the areas where they traditionally been very strong. Rita is standing by to tell us a little more about the early declarations where looking at and what happened to the labor leader. Here in this traditional early declaring the northeast of england hampton and sunderland this time around. According to the exit poll these are all labor holds. These are traditionally save labour seats and we are expecting them to change hands but the devil is in the detail. Lets look at the way in which we think the vote will be changing. Will we see is the result the last time around. We dont yet have the results tonight. Likely a labour old with the vote share 42 to let me show you what we think is happen in terms of a change in the share of the vote. Plummeting by 17 points with the conservatives on the brexit party with a fair number of those votes. I will show you that in terms of swing. That is a swing labor to conservatives of 11 . Thats really interesting because this is in a strongly lead voting seat at 62 leave in 2016. Lets go back to the list of early declarations. Newcastle central is a different sort of see. They voted remain in 2016. This was a result last time around and we are forecasting is a likely labour old this evening with labour still getting cat of the vote. Look at its share of the vote down by 15 . Again the conservatives and the brexit party picking labour at loss. Take a look at the swing, 11 from labour to concerted so we will be looking at the actual result to see if the exit poll matches the actual result. Whats interesting is an evergreen seat in the leave seed according to the exit poll we are seeing this sort of swing from labour to conservative what we are calling into real question brexit. Jeremy corbyn and a calibrating position of neutrality for brexit. Rita back with you in a short round we are hoping for a declaration within minutes actually. Especially blyth valley and sunderland and newcastle as well. While youre watching as you can get more details on the exit polls on your mobile devices because bbc news has a seat by seat forecast but all you do is select the constituency to see what the data suggests using a web site for the bbc news that it is a huge amount of data on their just to put in your seat or any seat youre interested in and you will see with the exit poll data is. Have a look at that if you get a chance because its a treasure trove of information. With me we have discussed several times during the campaign lots of the campaigning has been on line and lots of the dispute and debate and the unpleasantness has been on line. Bad is of course spilling over into the reaction tonight. We are also looking into reactions from the press. Tell us what we can expect great. Theres an absolute war going on. I will look at the on line conversation about the battle for the future of labor if there is defeat. For the first meeting of the micah flick of the traditional front pages. These pose a huge challenge for the newspaper front pages. Usually you find front pages get more affirmative. No such problem tonight tonight theres a huge blessing because he can make a big cold call early on. Less happiness on the labor supporting daily mirror. Lets have a look at that. Nightmare before christmas and the picture bores on the front page. And the guardian which is slightly softer saying exit poll predicts huge majority for johnson and metro massive porous when cesspool. These first editions are calling the exit poll decisively. Even within the margin of error suggesting a hefty majority are for johnson. At those newspapers will be collectors items. Will talk to little bit later on about whats going on with social media. Christine is joining us now. Christine thanks very much for joining us pray tell us whats going on there. We are waiting to see the actual results from scotland and looking closely at the exit poll to see if weekend get a more they have been in the past quite good at predicting the general National Picture but not the local ones. We are looking closely into a tizzy over you can actually see. Hispanic its important to underline in scotland where there are so many marginal seats as you have said there are certain circumstances in which the exit poll may not reflect whats going on in scotland which is currently suggesting not a great month and a strong night for the s p. What is your personal experience of campaigning and what were you expecting going into this count this evening . Well the poll doesnt reflects scotland and you have to remember its been months since ive had the violation and the s p proving at it. They spend more on that election than the entire campaign. The liberal democrats held that seat. Its not a result of tonights prediction this seems a bit of a surprise because this coverage in scotland in terms of the exit poll is not as wide as in the rest. The rest of the uk so where does kind of waiting to see. Its not a reflection of not just ourselves but of what the other party may be seeing on the ground. There a lot of arsenal seats so we have to fight for that in the marginal seats would probably go the same way. Possible to see at this point. Sara christine thanks very much. When we get the result we will talk to you again later on. Thank you very much. Giving assistance to the campaign in scotland. What about the sense of the campaign for the brexit party . Before get to that ive seen a leaked copy of labors briefing to the shadow and how to handle this tube will aim to defeat overwhelmingly on one issue, brexit and that is what we have heard from jon the donald the beginning of the program. Nigel farage another failure to win the seat. We are a new party. If we get our exit we set this thing up and we put it back on track. We get there we done a good job but it was determined that the selection we would use her influence to stop the referendum and that overwhelmingly was behind the decision to stand down. They have said effectively and taking the fight to labor was important or what youre going to see tonight are dozens of seats. They are either going to win or come close where they would dotten close to them if we work their taking thousands of folks. What would they like to win a few seats . It course. The position you find yourself in his full steam ahead to brexit deal that you dont want. You have also said its not really brexit. Youve interviewed when it comes before the European Parliament you would vote against it. If the current treaty on the table with the declaration passes unamended i cant bring myself to support it. Ive spent my life trying to get our exit. We are going to get our exit. Its a deal that you dont support. You havent got a single seat in your party has no purpose now. You were purpose was to try to get the right kind of brexit. If we get half a loaf out of it thats an achievement rates inc. Is a time for you to step down from parliament . Ossuary or in six months. Ill have to put my hat back in the ring if so. I think then its a bit like groundhog day for you. Im much happier seeing the exit poll word is. There must be a certain site if you and many people have credited you with brexit. They say that had been for you mr. Cameron would never have put that referendum promised in the 2015 election. We have results which would seem to make sure that our exit in some shape is going to happen. You are written out of the script. Hitt i can tell you if we studied every seat in the parliament it would have been a hung party. I think we would have won overall seats. In the north youll see because we have taken labour vote away. And if there is no future for the brexit party given this result is there . It will become the reform party and campaign for reform. C would you even be a part of this . I understand you are off to america to be Donald Trumps warmup man. Spin it dont believe everything in the newspapers. They are often wrong. Ive got no plans to leave the country. You are going to be whipping up the advances mr. Trump comes on the stage . I would suggest as you travel around america mr. Trumps warmup man the socalled reform party aint going to happen. Seen it theres always time for reform. I wanted brexit to happen. The only reason we will get any brexit is because we had a referendum. Understand that but the way you present yourself throughout this campaign is instead of being a victory night for you you are a that we have used her influence hugely. Do i want to succeed rex a party mps to hold it to account . It that doesnt happen and my comfortable text the effect on the selection and the decisions ive made yes i am. Say how did you vote today . I couldnt bring myself to vote today but hey what is the matter . Look tonight dramatic Election Results twothirds of seats never change in this country. What i think is the millions of others is pretty irrelevant. Have you written trump stumps speech . Not yet. Nigel for his thank you. Hugh, back to you. It thank you very much and thank you to nigel for coming in lets have a look what going on in blyth valley. We were expecting a result of me thought maybe 10 minutes ago because they were really promising result for us there but nigel telling us they have had one of two wrinkles in the process. They seem to be lining up the cabinets. Bly family, thats blyth valley and we have been looking at it because thats where we have had labor in power in blyth valley in terms of the parliamentary constituency since 1950 exactly the kind of seat which would be an astonishing turnaround if it went from labor to conservative. It would be an astonishing turnaround by any historical comparison that does seem like its likely to be the kind of turnaround we are going to see tonight. Labour sources of in saying to me they expect to lose or come very close to losing that seat and blyth valley but also such fields tony blair seat is very much in danger so this will be a very early real taste of the kinds of moves that we might see. In paris and from the national policy. We have seen on the exit poll, at least at the suggestions you make significant gains this evening. Is that your understanding. Results, for the s p, perhaps we have so many marginals, the country. Some by 100 are a couple of hundred, so typically, were just telling everybody to keep it calm. Just wait to see with the results are coming in as. The s p in scotland and frankly this disarming result. This is across the uk which is a waiver party not cutting through and being clear in the message. Just a short while ago, and this election, they are marginal. Its important that maybe new things around the exit poll print can i ask own understanding, talking to your own colleagues across scotland, would you expect to make up the 20 gains, or do you think that is possibly ambitious. I think that is ambitious. I would see we had a good night from the collies that ive been talking to. Ive been talking to colleagues across the country. Certainly it looks like whatever the exit poll is suggesting, what i can see with confidence is that im pretty sure the s p is going to win the election and its solid and records we could not have been clear on the messages that we are standing on the next election. Scotland to have its own future. Has brought a question for you. You said you campaign is often been about it being as strong s p voice. And even if you do end up with a 55 mps which would be an amazingly strong result in scotland, youd be up against the conservative government with the majority. The suggestion might be that even with those numbers, you are pretty powerless. Bullock, has brought for any part of the government or anybody else to venice for the scottish people. And of course, to have this random sort of, offering the democrat at all to deny a scotland voice particularly the s p. Join the election, i think we absolutely have the scotland which reinforces the mandate we already have. Is open to you to hold a referendum, regardless of the approval on the produce government. 2014, yet the Gold Standard of an independence governments. Diabolically opposing views coming together having an agreement, secures a legal referendum that would be in very good spirits taught things go. Im really proud of this. In 2020, the s p and scotland, absolutely have a mandate especially join we had the mandate already. It simply strengthens that mandate. Thank you for joining us and thanks very much and will see how this pans out. Thanks for much again for joining us. We will be keeping a very close eye on this. Were talking about lakers join walt revolves towards me. This is the kind of network of traditionally seats in which he was staying just now, on the basis of loophole, theyre looking very vulnerable. Places you would never imagine conservative taking the seas. In key places like waco, halifax, if we can wait till, my colleague is there. What is the pitcher there. What you think of the lay of the land as you see it there now. What is the very least, it will be smashed in this part like to the west to the lakes. [inaudible conversation] at the very least, vastly done by coleman. In 2017, the much majority, used rack up in the final days. Nonetheless, 2000 votes, lead to the fact that on the one hand, the general, been a damaging factor. The approach to the labor support here. What about mary cray, shes a little bit s p, she plans to be a leader. Now i dont think they are from down south but she is the remainder and unrestrained remainder. In constituency the more than 6. I think she wouldve liked wouldnt go amiss in a place in the respect of the supporters in spite of opposing stay in the European Union. Questions wasnt a candidate [inaudible conversation] they have a good night, so that he thinks and helps that he is taken more labor. It is just possibly mary craig to speak back in. I think she will be the most nervous of the three. I am told by another candidate in another constituency and forth, since 1910, but probably labor health act, but they filled in spite of a very short subject. Expecting to get back with a much reduced majority. All eyes will be in right field. The first operation of the three tonight, theyre counting on already behind me. We will know whether that will be in effect, and if it has, we will be toast. Interesting. Will be back there later. Lots of chatting going on in west valley. Im told the quality issues there are the results are close. This is the result therefore where the conservatives are hoping to take the valley which has been in the hansons 1916, but apparently as a result there, it is very close. That explains the delay in the declaration if you were expecting possibly 15 to 30 minutes ago. Talking about the labor rebel which sean was telling us about that in my coat, lets go to the halifax. In a joy there with wai way. What what what have they been telling you there. Well there are two different votes here. Two different constituencies here. That was the one we thought we would be watching tonight. It is truly conservative. Only 600 votes since the last election and heavily cited by the labor. That simple today, detentions scream to the other side of the room where they are testing the halifax vault. With that in particular constituency, labor held has been since 1987, in the last election, there was a 50004 for holly lynch, the current cmp in the support tonight suggest that this speaks is going to scream to the conservatives. The labors once held onto that seat. A big shock for everyone in this area. But perhaps not we do look at the exit vote because this whole area is 55 percent voting to leave and voting for brexit news. It does seem to me that it is going very heavily in the selection. Really impacted as you see, a big stronghold for many decades, potentially about to change tonight. The people working at the ballot fox is here. They are running in as they are in the northeast. Then well get to sometime and certainly this evening will be sitting uncomfortably as we wait and watch for the results. The conservative mp, it will be in a vulnerable position and perhaps relief looking at tonight news exit poll. Thanks very much. Absolutely in halifax, some reactions also coming in from the labor figures including carolyn finch, and mp4, was standing again. Well hear the poll and the labor over remainder in the coven. For what looks like a terrible night for labor. Both both have been taken for granted. Sorry we couldnt of gotten to the labor party. You can trust that on the deberry Deming Carolyn flip. Just other reactions as well from the former conservative mp. Standing as an independent inbox oh, just to remind everyone for this election is called the labor party and then fueled by tribalism. Join the people vote uk, was within our trust. So another tweet that is full of regret there from honest rubric. I understand where we have been waiting patiently for a result. They may be in the business of looking at the recount. I can only assume that but they may be looking at a recount. Can you tell us more about that. Abbas link. Just over an hour ago, we like the excitement join it comes to the general election. This is expected to scream the county to declare around 44 minutes. That was said in sutherland, 2015. They were considered late, there was a delay about 11 minutes. After we were expecting or have a declaration. It is very slow. This whole process is very slow progress quite sure yet, we may have to do a recount. Particularly to give you aluminum the background. Their initial poll, as my discount was being delayed is because there was a very low number. A high number standing at the polling stations. So the man in charge of this, victory over the first declaration in the previous years. He couldnt fit anymore counters into this canticle. And they allow it to happen at the polling stations. So we were expecting and just a few more minutes. Another some changes, they havent got the results yet. We may have a recount. Pretty much the update in the low valley, andrew. Over to you once again. Defending rally, majority of 23500. Does that leave you much doubt. Lets look at the wider pitcher. This is the recount in the place like 10 percent scream for the juries to begin up. You are picking up a lot of bluecollar votes in this election. You got to not let them down. We have no intentions of loving them down. No we dont. We said we would get breakfast votes. And we now have a majority andrew, we can get the bill through. Because this is such a decisive result. The laws would oppose it. We are leaving the European Union on the 31st of january, that is absolutely Crystal Clear as a result of this general election outcome. These people are also low wages, insecure jobs, often dependent on welfare, life pretty grim in some circumstances pretty. Certainly not great. It is the party really going to do anything for their wellbeing. They are voting for you tonight. Yes and you will see that roll out. There will be a queen news speech before long. I believe in the new budget, which i am will going over the details,. [inaudible conversation] i am confident we will be addressing some of those issues. Spec you get my. , but we seem to be staying tonight, and the exit poll is that families and people of that lifelong labor areas, are now voting for your party. I am just wondering, did your party really have the policies to make the life of these bluecollar voters, the better. Yes we do. If andrew, they put their trust in the prime listeners. And of course, we must be worthy of that trust. It. Thats my. Its very exactly so look what is happened tonight. There is talk of the red wall. In might 1989, russias berlin wall came down in 2019, labors red ball came down. That was a very leftwing state. A smith result of making slightly upon, not at all, labor party. [inaudible conversation] in this election the labor party and the british people resoundingly to the deceased date. Is one trying to see to you as leaders are people who have not been conservative before perhaps for generations. They dont need to vote conservative its not clear from your manifesto party and the demeanor of your leader or whatever, but he really knows how to make these people news lives better. They will do lots of surveys later about why they voted the way they did. I think there were two overriding, one was to get rex in the second one was that Jeremy Coleman. Raul, as we go and support for it. Very workingclass person. Five weeks ago with the rain and the way. And within two hours, i didnt find one single labor person. Okay. You are a staunch rocketeer. Mr. Johnson according to this example, one of the majority of 89. There is and people like you anymore. But what we still dont know in which way we will leave in the sense that technically will lead probably in the end of january. Now that has been overturned. Then we go into negotiations about the relationships and there will be a large tradeoff there. You are a heap friction tree freight you want it continued alignment. Thats not what you want to do. Mr. Johnson can do that now he doesnt need your support. Remember andrew, you have a reputation for reading all documents thankfully. So you know, the political the duration which is where the trend lines the future negotiation apart from morses deal will change. So the desired is the comprehensive freetrade agreement. That is something they wanted for a long time. But my. Is that the issue is unresolved is the more comprehensive the deal, the more brussels and demand that we see in broader live of ee you rules and regulations. Making demand with the mart for the british people have actually rejected that tonight. We have had a people vote is general election. These people have said nothing tonight about the shape of the future. This is something we will continue to look at. Enter, do you think is still possible by this time next year, we can leave a no deal. I believe in the basis, everyone said boris hang on, would never be able to get it. They did and he did. And he did it in three bills president on the basis, have complete faith in him to get the deal within a year. But what if he doesnt, we still face the prospect of leaving with no deal. His i believe were going to leave the comprehensive free attainment. Because that is with the political declaration says. And the people from judea within the European Commission might think differently of the road going to win. Will have to wait for the recount. Thank you. Thank you very much. My family, what are they doing, is there a recount or not. He said look, mother all bunched up there. And as you can see, the killing up waiting for some activity. It could be that we are even within the few minutes of the results. This is been since 1950, Ronnie Campbell, they are setting down and susan done with, as local counselor standing for labor. An estate was contested two years ago. But he is standing for the conservatives. It is neck to neck we are told between the conservatives and labor. Its a sentence i never thought i would see an Election Night program. It is the kind of measure. Actually right. You go from red to blue. You wouldnt seem impossible to contemplative short while ago project and wonder is the difference here the 2019 were able to do this in a way that they were able to do this in 2017. Similarities about campaign. It would be, the public spending a little bit. And then leave the european government majority to take us out of the european, union after the referendum. In the same way that they have tried the campaign got into other policy issues and areas into the other way. I think we may be in the position to get the federation. With that request to bundle up the counts will be caring about this evening. We will do it as quickly as we can. Thank you very much indeed. Has brought a full recount. Its a bundle recount. I have two guests with me i know all about that. Thank you both for joining us. So were waiting for my family to command. For labor to be in the position board is considering even, conservative women by valley, what does that tell us. We been staying for some time, the labor has lost touch with his workingclass decent supporters in areas of the country and by a huge majority to leave and i think since 2017, ive just been printed, given both parties were committed to leading and honoring the referendum. That changed with labor and one such change, all of the other issues, in terms of colemans position. Brexit has really changed things up there. And the brexit party, has taken both for labor to so it is very damaging active labor, huge i keep saving this because until i actually have seen some of these results, its really hard to believe them. Off of i do feel and believe that that is what is happening in our Labor Department is going to change and have to have that huge change within that labor party otherwise, we are finished. Was talk about the conservatives. You said that your fear the conservative party is becoming the brexit party. And it was something you didnt like. What are your thoughts there the fact that Boris Johnson is looking at, a majority of possibly almost in the realms of market that you are back in the 18 news. Are you prepared to see that your reading of it was wrong. I think during the day, they need it to do in the first in peace. It would take those public vote to do that. And we have that for public vote. And it is finally broken but the reality is this election was very much about other issues. I think that is why they have done so well because Boris Johnson very much talks about the kind of conservative agenda and lots of people find appealing. It gives them opportunity. Lying opportunity and implications but actually resonate with people staying the opportunity is knocking cases right though that he was up against probably one of the worst labor leaders that we have seen a very long time. But this he has a better opponent Jeremy Coleman mightve been broad shining anew in 2017, but by 2019, i think people really gotten measure of him. In else also sang that come through tonight. But were looking forward to getting on with a domestic agenda. This actually going to change lives for the better. And of course they have a chance to do so. But also, there is an on brexit. Is watching, someone have said this is been a brexit election. Boris johnsons main theme was to get it done yet of course it was domestic issues. We really trying to see that wasnt an brexit election at the end of the day pretty. Think of you with the issues that people were seeing to cut through to them. But actually quite low now. We did have the debates in this election about brexit itself was more about domestic agenda. And he wiped my view, that i grew up in a town that i represented an area the strongly remains in the issues that find the communities together our lack of opportunity and Business Opportunity in the 21st century that was the agenda that Boris Johnson talked much more about and much more compelling. That is why i believe its gotten the results. I also think that why many of those voted to leave the first place. They are fed up of being left behind in the country feels like its moving forward but that went out them getting the benefit of that. Think it was a. I think the interesting think is with the issues like this, we do have a lot of conservative members, representing sees where theyre going to be facing all of the issues that we get. Benefit problems, therapy problems. He could very well change the way the conservative party operates. One of top happened with other people feeling betrayed. Lets go to the castle and she was happening there. You there may be in a position. Leslie. Can i have your attention please. Clear the results are no castle. I patrick, hereby give notice that the toll number average candidates for the Newcastle Central constituency is as fall is. Syed alea v, also known as only a vague, 2709. [applause]. And more federick glenn griffin, 2500 and 42. Susan in order also known as giannone, 2100050021530 amber, the concern for deb candidate, 9290. [applause]. Jen ficklin, also known as development, 1,031,605. And in barnett, duly elected to serve as member for constituency. [applause]. So theres our full results for this election of 2019. Twentysix minutes past 11. Holding onto Newcastle Central. The returning officer for her excellent work. And also the police have maintained our security. The amazing team of newcastle employees chair and also the polling stations across newcastle have done such fantastic work. To get us there. I believe i am the first and pete to be declared as i write. [applause]. For the moment, the entire British Parliament is labor. [applause]. Giving a response. Hereby for each candidate constituency, is as fall is richard, 1125. [applause]. Hall and mars liberal democrat 2319. [applause]. Richard eldon, 897. [applause]. Christopher john Charles Howard conservative party 30095. Richard smith, labor party 600 60000210. [applause]. Kevin lawrence brexit party, 6,011,605. [applause]. Richard phillipson of duly elected to serve as members of the constituency,. [applause]. Sooner we have the results. Labor on the much reduced majority is Richard Phillipson who has been the mvp in 2010. Its in the accessible. She would be thanking the returning officer. But it will be interesting to see whether she said something about the actual course of Leaders National campaign. The new numbers, newcastle numbers, declaration about four minutes ago. Filling the seas for the labor on 21,005,160 most of the majority of 12200 sunday eight, a turnout of 65 percent. I will come back to those figures. I like to make the declaration that the results of the pulse of the constituency. Acting returning officer constituency declared that the toll number of votes given to each candidate was as fall is. Tom chapman liberal democrat 2151. Susan elisabeth, labor and corporative party, 16728. The green party, 1146. The conservative party candidate,. [applause]. 17000. [applause]. 17440. Brexit party 3394. [laughter] the toll number rejected was 94. Make moment of the night. This is the conservative party taking the former mining constituency of belly from labor. This is the only be for the conservative. Majority of 712 not a big new majority. 63 percent. But that is a very significant pointer to what is likely to happen according to the exit poll as we go to the night. This is labor losing one of its traditional 1950, its all been on the coast in his essay, held for many years by Ronnie Campbell who was himself a great leap campaigner. Succeeded by simeon susan bella. But this man has one. Lets listen to what he has just after this remarkable victory. A. Thank you. Thank you to blake valley. This is the huge responsibility. That i took on this evening. But it is a massive massive honor. I would like to think the returning officer, nsf and the populist job. I like to think the police and Security Services for their populist job they have done. My agent richard, who has seen marlys throughout the campaign, if my team to work really hard and also a special thank you to check in veronica and to connor who is worked really hard for me. Most of all i would like to thank the people of black valley because as the people of life belly if they had into the voted, wouldnt be here tonight. I would like to thank my wife maureen children andrew anna dallas, and i would like to think others. [applause]. [applause]. I am from london, going to get billed the Strong Economy of the uk. We will do that together. Black back to you blake valley. The message from support is there in the conservative, he did contest the seat two years ago and now he is join it. He is one is traditional seat and it has gone into conservative hands for the first time and this is blithe valley. A quick look from laura. You can hardly believe it. His voice was cracking with the emotional aware. This is the symbol and a good moment at the site. A lot could change with the fact that the conservatives have taken a seat like that is something really remarkable. Also fascinating and personally mentioned Boris Johnson that went out time and getting went to the participating romany that seatmate have been what he built to be, that kind of conservative politician you can reach parts of the country that other conservatives couldnt reach. Boris coming up name coming up time and time again. Mr. Johnsons own constituency. Andrew. What you make of the blithe results. And what is it tell you about that course of the evening. Will blyth valley is up great place. I trained there is a journalist. Personally i have to talk to you about my jaws are on the floor. His extraordinary. Politics never slow down. Never stops. Join i am hearing from sources close to him. This date we are not going to see a ferocious acceleration of the legislation to quote get brexit done. Were going to see perhaps the following on the saturday before christmas and in the house of law is expected between christmas and new years. No holiday for the laws in the ladies of the law, and then a ferocious plan of change in january. I think its very major cabinet change in rate in january. Following the queen news speech. After we leave the eee you on the 31st. Change of coming as a result of this extraordinary night. It is early yet. We dont know whats going to happen in the seats are on the other country. No signs of the man himself. Im afraid hes going to be late. 4 00 oclock or 430. I have just been jostled alongside here might mourn a bucket head. Im also estrange candidates going to take on Boris Johnson. There is a lot of talk early on this evening about Boris Johnson potentially losing his seat. A liberal democrat vote, it collapsed into the labor approach. We dont know yet. But the fairly confident upholding it, will hear it later long. It will stay on in the tunnel. The elite athletes, the vicious square, bolt, many others have trained here. Fascinating story. You are forgiven. Thank you very much. At this moment, i think we should just remind ourselves, the results are in, theres 647 to go. It is early. He is right. Very early in the stage of the race. Weve had one dramatic result. The two interesting ones from sutherland to the capital. How did they fit into the exit polls prediction. Will manically tell us that is the man who weve seen all of the bicycle and that is professor professor sir john. A very well warm welcome here. You been very hard at work here with your team here. Tell some of the results we had so far. Certainly about blyth valley and whether they fit into her exit poll practice. The conservatives would narrowly win blyth valley. With a 15point drop in the labor vote. Selena 15point drop in the labor vote. And they really won blyth valley. Equally the 1718 points that dropped in the labor and sutherland. Was also anticipated by the exit poll. Labor did a little better in the central and they remain in the seat one of the same things we expect night and do not be surprised as particular as we get further south and much more constituencies, that we do not see spectacular advances by the conservatives. But in the north of england and in these areas of work illustrates, the labor party does seem to be in search. So far, it is early but these results are at all typical of what happens, kicking around suggesting the labor red wall is going to fall to conservative full. Then it looks as though the whole pitcher of the exit poll may all be right. We get into one crucial think coming up about the exit poll. Lots of excitement. But the fact that we said the s p mic and 55 seats. Christine for the majority, quite likely pointed out was not necessary framing the 55 seats. 4. You just have to remember inevitably we dont have that many in scotland. The s p are doing very well. But there are lots of marginal seats in scotland. As in 2017 join we again gave house morning. The smp figure, is the bit about nick sipple in which we are least confident. If an ended up the s p gain, but maybe less than that, we could be honestly not be surprised. We were talking to s p earlier, it may be in the 20 gauges. He calmly said yes. It may be ambitious. Share, equally, is expected the s p to make significant gains. The take away from that he could give you no more but a rough overall pitcher in scotland. The smp vote but on the other part is that therefore potentially at risk and that is about as far as i think is anybody should take the exit poll as far as scotland is concerned so far. Thank you very much john. We will be back with you later on. So that is a very good. Kristi what is your thoughts of the reading tonight. Not just s p but all some of the other parties as well. What is your sense of it. My sense of it is very much that the s p is very cautious. Practically all the season scotland art marginals. And on the basis of 55, it would all but two of the democrats. Join labor. I think talks are staying that that is extremely ambitious for the exit poll. Just have to wait and see. One indication will come quite soon because revenant in will declare around about that 21608 majority of that goes to the majority of Something Like of the s p. That will syndicate that the exit isnt that far off. Join the s p really had to do was to raise the game there. They had to get in early. They could make a case for the in the red. Her cases much more transit but we do that yet will get a sense of that. Here in glasgow, big barn, we will have these constituents to return. And marginals among them. Also some drama tonight. The police have taken away papers and evidence bags because there has been allegations of paisley and that results might come much later. With scotland, is an exciting places in the elections. If it is the case, where it is into 50s and she will then press for more. It will be hard for Boris Johnson to do delay but can you delay forever. Not with the parliamentary elections coming up in 2021. That will be the main part of the campaign. Interestingly though, a little bit of slack pressing stop breck to the main message. Worry better campaign. And it actually is enough. But if the exit poll is very right, she did hit the target. Good to talk to you. As you see, exciting news on Election Night like this. Thinking about influence and parliaments. Everything about the pre previous parliaments, the dop version, known an enormous influence in the parliamentary agreement of the conservatives. Well then, dop, will by definition, not have that kind of influence would have does. Lets talk to the dop. Thanks for joining us. He thought some part of the way this is panning out. Will i think that the exit polls are correct. And the government will have a much bigger majority much bigger working majority. Good for the country. It also presents certain challenges and especially given the fact that the agreement for getting this so and mentation to just to the northern island. In terms of the impact on our economy in the long constitutional impact however, we have only a year of negotiations for the future trading relationship. If that falls, challenges and things with the government, very difficult. Sorry about that. We lost him. Hang on a second. We just left you for a second. Hang on. I can see you back again. Apologies. Will you carry on with the point you are making. Thank you. A. Over the next year, the government has to negotiate the future relationship with eeo you. So going to be many challenges. Many things which i think for the supporters theyre going to find it difficult to swallow. That will give us opportunity to have some influence during those debates and drink those discussions and at the end of the day of the whole agrees, then of course the parts that affect more than island, will fall as well. The only think i would see is the big majority, the government wave may well be in a sensation where really much more muscle and negotiations of the eeo. They can do that and finish up with no reporters, no neville loophole Playing Field as far as relations are concerned. Then of course that means that many of the difficulties in which the current presents. It would be to move. Something will may be thinking hang on a second. Your reservations about the vault agreements have been laid out very clearly. You were in a position of good influence. You are no longer going to be in the position to change that in this new parliament. So her underthings going to affect and negotiations and proceed. Negotiations of course, have to go from now on between now and next december may well to create challenges for the government itself. For example, if the union insists on payment for access to the market, they may insist on a loophole Playing Field. In other words we have to mimic the regulations the insist on access for machine blinds and i think the government is going to have to have new members back in the situation with may find herself, her memory were not going to score this sort of think. It may give us some leverage. We do expect results. Were expecting the first ones by about 3 00 oclock or 4 00 oclock in the morning. Soon it will be back then but thanks very much for talking with us. Nor an interesting think there. The notion of being in parliament where there is a very solid majority they were not used to. Love for a long time. Go back to 2010. Certainly a solid majority of coalition but also bartering behind closed doors. Lynn since then in 2015, the majority but tiny. But even back then he had to be the dop and the brexit and his own party and his shoulder the whole time. The results of the dop at that. If these numbers bear out a the even remotely bear out. Or leaving in a totally different landscape Political Landscape were broadly of course broadly, the government wants to get something done, and the minister wants to follow a particular path, they can more or less, at least going in that direction, his own party, the leader of the opposition in different leader of the opposition will still have a brawl and still be push and pull in parliament but that is a completely distant kind of politics. What we have seen moving and for the past nine years. Totally different. Indeed. With that in mind, lets go to germany once again. Virtual downing street. We have got these tiles in each tile has a constituency name on it and we are using them to pave the path. The only important live, shows you 326, this the number you need in the house of governance for overall majority. On the exit poll that Boris Johnson easily has time. Lets show you how he has paved the path. Will bring on these conservative seats. I wont be slain to you why they are in blue. Theyre just projections. We have missiles will replace them. If you go all of the way back you can see lou after that. And then we place them in terms of how tight the exit polls suggest the results will be. So it is fascinating is going up to the 326 live ending on it and seeing which seats we have here. Some of these are is it too close to call. They may not turn out to be blue. He see chelsea there just across the live. Uc hastings, very tight. Now going for the conservatives. And from labor and next to that you see the famous already mentioned be out of parliament on the exit poll. Lets just move forward a bit. As we move forward on this live, we see constituencies where the exit poll has these very tight results indeed. Going blue for labor in kiesling, the house of commons for labor. A tight game from labor. Warrington, mvp, a tight game. Labor steve. These are all the exit polls, gains. London going blue, and on we go. Can we go right going blue. As you can see there, tom watson former deputy lead leader of the deputy leader stood down friend you never expected to go blue and very tight indeed. Also south, again these are not seats, also true for and you would not expect them to be going blue. It is the exit poll telling us that. Why should be sent tight. We may see them in the online pretty good news, labor needs and the other one for him go further down the street here, i can bring on these labor exit polls per lets have a look here. There we are in faint brent, there still projections, youll see prospectively the new labor marginal news. These are the ones where we think labor justly to parking they had a 10000 majority. Chesterfield, back in the day. An mp we reckon he is back here but we can be sure yet. Vern and back here in the exit polls. But how can read chart, which we saw there at the end, how can they be such a close result for labor on the conservative side. Ann says the conservative poll. On the exit poll. As you can see, we will fill in the seas i will make them dark blue or dark red and well see exactly what happens at the end of the live. Those are essential in the new marginals as they will all be different. Is fascinating. And we will be back as that path progresses. Lots of things to talk about. I am fascinated to listen about what people have to see about the previous parliament. And those who are trying to get into the new parliament. Lets go back to andrew again. We will make you a green grass path. [laughter] how can we witness a watershed. A third party that was pro the e. U. , with more southern than northern, was quite posh. Much room northern. More blue collar. Effectively the practic news party. Its over for you credit party. Dont think the Prime Minister, i think he is quite clear that he persuaded in a lot of seats in the north and the midlands. And i think and elsewhere. The labor party was not the labor party. At least that they did one snow. That they were failing. Anyway to link up with their hopeful sense of identity in this country. It is an extraordinary change. What you said on mr. Johnson the conservative party was beginning to look like a brexit. But they dont join the majority. [inaudible conversation] look at the complexion of the seats. It was astonishing results. I am on the way to see morris. Which you got a great chair. Im going to tell them what we need. A. But my. Is this is the passing of the guard. His abdomen dated hugely influenced like people like yourself. It is highly distanced conservative party and people like you, will no longer call the shots. A. Look, look, the Political Parties always change they change the whole time. This is the big change. It will be different. This could build a new conservative majority across britain for another generation. Based on the policy that you have opposed, on brexit. I mean, from his own tactical self interest, boris was right with about people like you. Its have a fundamental disagreement. In essence, what he felt. He very generously came back to me. But the point is, it is partially entitled, i was fundamentally against the policy of the deal. Because i would count the national interest. But you know, he has proved this election, extreme results, has proved that with this time is extremely popular in the one nation basis. It. Okay. Your manifesto, has brought nowin. To which the answered is and has brought now, and probably never. No doubt this is correct. This is the very bad night for the climate. Two very night i think for progressive politics. We have to learn a lesson. We need to be working together. We tried to put together, we have reached out to labor to Work Together and we never wanted this general election. And we warned what could potentially happen in this scenario printed there is no way this is very bad. Its all remarkable because we all know that these green issues are way up the agenda because weve seen the cover of time met magazine with all of that. Yet even in that, you couldnt make any kind of breakthroughs. The voting system, join a big majority on the left less than 50 percent of the votes. And they can have a mandate need it to drive through whatever they want. Thats bad for democracy. I think on this election we need less vote and we need it desperately. Soon if you are not going to get it. Message just that. It does question if there is a brawl other than that there is a spoiler or a separate green party. Please take blithe belly. They would buy 712 votes. And one is 146 people bowling green. They are voting labor, the majority one. We dont have those over to another party party. We did in 2017, he came from the conservatives. That necessarily did make it difference in the results. The labor couldve stepped hillside. We will have to look at the results. Actually two days ago, they set hillside. They might have allowed conservatives to be beaten. The point is we need to be working together. The point is we need reform. This is the system in which we cannot have that collaboration, that progressive voice to translate. All of that may be true, what it means is that things are going to change very quickly. These elections, and just been come round holding for you. The electoral forum, the just one of the next conservative government. We have said this repeatedly. We have reached out. Repeatedly. Bottom live it was labor and they lost it. Will leave it there. Thank you both. Back to you. Lets look at this reaction in scotland. This is damning as well. Every door i knocked on my team that i spoke to, mentioned corbett. None brexit grandpa corbett. An insight evincing this for years, is left the country down. And you must change course and formally mp is with me. I think he resigned at some stage. He is probably right that scotland brexit probably wasnt the issue. There is no doubt about it theyre going to have to look very hard at what has gone wrong and its not going to be something as would be fixed overnight. I would see that there are some really good labor people who have a work incredibly hard and who have been faulted at leaving. I just hope theyre not going to be all swept away because it is important that there are people within the Labor Movement being able to tell labor people that actually everyone was not taking this ridiculous position. He suffered from a position of trying to face ways and it hasnt worked. Has not been popular. Their brexit policy was John Mcdonald who has moved the party. And has kind of made jeremy become lately because of the fact theres lebron pieces. And they spent a year trying to disrupt, delay, and to all those things. They are responsible as much is jeremy. Will we will talk tomorrow as the night goes on. Weird and pointed at you because youve both got to go soon. Is there a discrepancy there . Is it a contradiction from some saying this brand of conservatism that Boris Johnson has is populous. Is it within an overall kind of context . With one nation to reason . But we are looking at a campaign that possibly is in a very strong strong s p vote and scott lands which will raise more questions about the second referendum. So is it really one nation or a form of english toryism which is actually one out here . I think therell be some very different results across the country. Obviously in london its a very different picture. Its a very tough for physical battleground. Its probably too early in the evening to say its one thing or the other. What i do know is that most people are voting for this election is resolution zero exit. To just move forward on that somehow. I think now Boris Johnson has the chance to avoid having to fudge it he can get on within a judge agenda and he wants to have this out by the 31st of january. He wants the deals done by the end of december. He can now do that. There will not be Parliament Holding him up or any factions that he will have to pander to. He now has that chance to work on the brexit that he sold the british people. I think the other. Clearly to me is the issue of inequality, communities being left behind is coming through very strongly. I am not surprised, i am not surprised. That many labor communities are now giving up on labor. Because frankly, i grew up in one of them, and you dont see enough change. I think people are just tired of being told its going to get better in two or three years time and it never does. And they say if thats voting for a very Different Party to see if they can do a better job, than thats exactly what we are going to do. I think there a lot of literals and others organ hold their nose and say lets let them have a chance. One final quick thing i want to say is that i also think it this turns out to be a big majority. The European Union, they are not going to be able to sit back and say oh well if we hold back just a little bit longer, but nastier, maybe they will change their mind. This is brexit delivered. I want to see some changes to with Withdrawal Agreement to. And that has to do with Northern Ireland and that could happen tonight. I am feeling quite positive tonight believe it or not. Its good to have you both with us. Thank you very much. What id like to do now is three minutes past midnights, just reminds you of what the exit poll is telling us. We just had a few results in. But this is the exit poll that we revealed two hours ago showing that Boris Johnson is probably on course for a very solid majority. Labor doing poorly and scoring a hundred and 1891 seats according to the pole and the heavy losses the s p on its surge in scotland and will watch that closely. There relatively poorly on 13 seats if the poll is right. And there you have the picture. But i will stress its the exit poll. It is pointing very firmly in one direction. And thats this distinctive play at four minutes past midnight in london after bbc Election Center you are watching election 2019. Will go across the newsroom here and we will have the News Headlines of tina. Thanks you hello conservatives the conservatives are doing a significant and the general election. According to the exit poll from the bbc it would see an increase about 50 seats on their tally at 2017. And the biggest majority since 1987. The post says labor would lose 70 seats and who its already lost one of its heartland sates life to one of its conservatives. After the first december election and nearly a century, its time. Are exit poll is suggesting a conservative majority when all the votes are counted after this election of december 2019. Conservatives on 368 seats, a labor way down on a hundred and 91. On those figures, we are looking at a conservative majority of 86. As people take it in its worth remembering, this is the forecast not the final results. But it projects a big victory for Boris Johnson. As we have outlined throughout this entire campaign the focus has been on brexit. We have that in parliament, we want to get brexit done. Youve heard the Prime Minister say get it done before christmas. Introduce it to legislation and get that moving. Grim faces of labor but the party ways to see what the reality is. The first big upset losing the loan longheld labor seat of life valley. And i would like to thank boris. [applause] i would say that im going to be on that train on monday, going to london, were going to get brexit done. Jeremy corbins leadership has been under scrutiny in this campaign. That scrutiny will now intensify. Is it not time for you and Jeremy Corbin to stand down and make way for another generation . Will get up in the morning and decisions will be made then. Lets see the results. If it is like this its over for you. Will wait for the decisions. So the s p the exit results are near kens the 2015 triumph. To the liberal democrats called this and disappointment lies ahead. Its not a reflection of just ourselves but what the other parties, and theres a lots of marginal we have to fight. [inaudible] they would probably go all the same way, so i wouldnt say at this. The campaign is over, the finish lines insights. But there is still a way to go tonight, its a sprint not a marathon. And of course the rare election held as a runup to christmas and there is been plan plenty of seasonal outfits on display. Are they not going to let the election get in the way of his christmas celebration, standing up for his count he is simply honoring fridays christmas to jump day. And while youre watching as you can get more details on the exile on your mobile. You can get the seat by seat forecast and what the data suggests by using our website. you and the election team. Its welcome back to the bbc Election Center paired there are five results now in. Weve a 645 to go. But the exit poll on the bbc prediction is that Boris Johnsons conservatives are headed for a very handsome majority for them of possibly 80 plus seats. They are sitting certainly looking at gained seats on their performance. Have this look from sunderland central, lets look at the figures. They tell us a story about labor. Labor is held onto the seat in slumberland which is traditionally labor. She is still the mp on 18,003 to 36 seats. Time to silver for the conservatives is on 15,372, so thats a majority of 2,964 on the turnout of 60 . What i want you to look at, in the seat which of course houses the car factory in the uk which has been a lot of political debate about because of its future in the brexit question. Look at the percentage of share for the labor vote and thats 42 and tourism is 35, and now look at what happened to the result. And there you see at a very big blow to labor losing 13 percentage points. Its not a very big boosted them the the brexit party though up 12 points. We can now begin to understand where the brexit party is taking votes from in cases like sunderland central. Its the seat that nigel was telling us about earlier in the evening. If you look at the swing, the swing is a very hefty 7. 7 from labor to the conservatives. So in sunderland central, despite the fact that laborers holding on, it is at table of labor decline. Its a weakening and the conservatives strengthening relatively. But its really labor suffering. That tells us the story weve been looking out for the last few hours. That is certainly been the pattern so far in the pattern the exit poll suggests. And if we see it again and again and again, then of course Boris Johnson is on his way to majority. And with betty he will goes quickly as he possibly can take abode of the union and that is a promise he is made again, again, again, but i think beyond that there is not going to be a russian number ten to cart start smashing down the walls and doing radical things immediately. As i understand that they will bring the brexit bill back to parliament next friday just for whats called its first reading. As just an essay were going to get on with this, do very little else in the end of jan is wary have a small break. The plan is to be a majority like this to have a major reshuffle and potentially at that. A big reboot of what the uk under Boris Johnson leadership would look like. I just made every thing about brexit will be resolved, we talk so much about that in the last few weeks. But we would be out of the union and that would probably be the start of the proper first phase of the kind of Prime Minister Boris Johnson might become. Dont forget its only been in there for a few months a year ago he was on the back benches. This is a very political thriller if you are as nerdy about all this as we are. Be honored be proud of it. Absolutely im proud of it. Thanks for joining us, its great to have you with us. Lets talk a little bit about the context of this results. As follows the brexit pop process is concerned. You wont blame me for wanting
