To look at this political and landscaping where the conservatives were certainly hoping to make quite a few gains. And in areas where labor has traditionally been pretty strong. Lots of these seats have a lot of rich labor heritage. So im going to go across to the result center and joined rita once again. Shes got a few suggestions again about the likely conservative gains in wales. Rita . These will change hands from labors to conservatives if the exit poll is correct.

If we get to a point where a Prime Minister is intent on doing this, the only way of stopping that Prime Minister would be to bring down that Prime Ministers government. Well be talking to two experts about whether prorogation is a legal or constitutional option. Also on this programme, the governments accused of not going far enough with plans to radically cut Greenhouse Gas emissions. I do welcome this report, but id welcome it a lot more if the government had followed all of the recommendations from the committee on Climate Change, not just the ones that dont cause it ideological indigestion.
