I think most people thought the polls were narrowing.

have just announced the exit poll for the general election.

And it predicts a whopping 86-seat majority

All this talk of a hung parliament or a tight result

seems to have been blown out of the water.

That majority could shrink once the actual results come in.

One, Mr Johnson's gamble to call an election has paid off.

And two, Jeremy Corbyn has suffered a huge defeat.

Going down below 200 seats would be the party's worst result

since the second world war and in modern times.

but the crucial thing does seem to be that gamble of targeting

voters in the north and the Midlands has paid off.

Boris Johnson is going to win a majority and deliver Brexit.

Ian Levy, the Conservative party candidate...

We've just had the first Conservative seat

gain of the night in Blythe Valley, a former mining

The Conservatives have shockingly taken this seat.

This is not the kind of place Tories normally hold.

of Leave supporting, post-industrial places Boris

this is not a seat Conservative HQ thought they would take.

Because back in 1997 this seat had a 17,000 Tory majority

by Ronnie Campbell, a former miner himself.

No more, it's the first Tory gain of election night.

So we've just had one of the first big red wall

results in of tonight, which is working Workington.

Workington was defined by a centre right think-tank

as the kind of place Boris Johnson needs to win to form

And as we've just seen, that's gone from Labour

It also means we have the first shadow cabinet

like Richard Burgon here, have been out trying to explain this

They've been saying it's all to do with Brexit, nothing

to do with the party's manifesto or the policies it put forward

here for the reasons it lost lots of its working class seats

like Leigh in Greater Manchester, The Vale of Clwyd

in Wales, and of course, Workington up in the Lake

This matters because there's going to be a big battle over

the next 24 hours about whether Jeremy Corbyn,

the Labour leader, should resign now or at some point later.

Given the sheer scale of Labour's defeat,

I want to also make it clear that I will not

lead the party in any future general election campaign.

there is a process now of reflection on this result

and on the policies that the party will take going forward.

It's 3.30am and we've just had two decisive moments

He's just been re-elected as the Labour MP for Islington North,

but has announced he's standing down as party leader at some

He's not going to quit straight away, though.

He wants to oversee the contest to replace him.

Because Labour's defeat is so big tonight, his whole project,

the Corbynism, politics that were in that manifesto,

He'll want to try and have a big say in who his successor is

to make sure the party doesn't swing back to the centre left.

That's the constituency once represented by Tony Blair

That's gone to Conservative for the first time since 1931.

And really, that's what you need to know about the results

It has failed to win a majority from the British people.

And meanwhile, the Conservatives are eating
