The Conservatives will be the biggest party but short of a majority, the General Election exit poll claims.
If that poll holds, that means that it will be a hung parliament.
Conservatives | 314 | -17 | ||
Labour | 266 | +34 | ||
SNP | 34 | -22 | ||
Liberal Democrat | 14 | +6 | ||
Green | 1 | 0 | ||
Ukip | 0 | -1 |
The previous two exit polls have been extremely accurate, so it remains to be seen how accurate this exit poll will be.
Iain Dale told LBC's Britain Decides: "If this exit poll holds up, the Conservatives are heading for a minority government. Indeed, it might be that they can't form a government at all.
"I got a text from a Tory cabinet minister a few moments ago. He said 'it is not plausible'."
Conservative's David Gauke told LBC: "Obviously, we would hope for a better result. For the country, what we need is a leadership and a government who can deal with the challenges that we face, most notably Brexit.
"Very clearly, I'm hoping for a better result than that."
