The broadcasters’ exit poll has been published, and suggests that the Conservatives have lost their overall majority.
As many Tories will insist, it’s early days and this is only a projection. But it’s difficult to see an outcome that isn’t a humiliation for Theresa May. She took a gamble, and has almost certainly lost.
The projected seat breakdown is as follows
Con: 314
Lab: 266
Lib Dems: 14
SNP: 34
Plaid Cymru: 3
Green: 1
Northern Ireland: 18
UKIP: 0
