When do the exit polls get released?

Not long after polling closes in 20 minutes, usually within a few minutes

10 on the button usually

And under the Gary Neville one?

You asked for an example of labourites abusing people for voting Tory, Dixon didn't even vote tory and got that

Wonder if this is perhaps the one time where the exit polls may not be as accurate as usual. By only polling the same 20% or so every time they are usually not too far off as many of the other seats are "safe" so not much point even asking. Not sure how many of the safe seats are actually that safe this time though . Could be an interesting night

We all know there are people suffering and even starving in the world - how many of us do anything about it ? - not many ( me included)

I think that's how the Tories see poor or sick people . ...they may fleetingly consider them - but they are so far removed from that sort of world - it doesn't seem real to them - and they quickly switch into profiteering mode - perhaps with the vague idea - that if the likes of Amazon make billions in profit - some of it will get to the guy sleeping in a cardboard box on new street

The people who were/are abusing him obviously hadn't actually read his tweet saying he was voting green. Said he wasn't voting for corbyn so is automatically slaughtered simply because of the perception he voted tory...

Tolerance & equality for all unless you vote conservative where you must be a racist right wing idiot...

I dont think it'll happen but I bloody hope the country has voted to get these word Removeds out of power. Food Banks. **** Food Banks. In 2019. That even working people have to use. Tories and their supporters should be **** ashamed.

I'd love the British people if it was another hung parliament after all this.

[Davkaus]

I felt like I did just before we kicked off against Leicester.

[StefanAVFC]

Cracked a beer open. Ready for the worst.

Plenty of posts in the last few weeks saying how a hung Parliament would be best. I've said the same myself, but I've about-turned and medium-term I think it would be awful. 

Next few months? Brilliant. Drama continues. Johnson humiliated. Brexit racists deflated. But then what?

It's a shit show. More squabbling. Probably a referendum. Probably even a remain result. But nothing else gets passed. The only thing that unites the 48-52% of the Commons is the only thing that unites them. An election in 10 months is fought on "see! We told you they'd be shit and they proved it! Vote Johnson and his policy of we'll do whatever the person he's taking to at that moment wants!"

This is a long term conflict and things are going to be worse before they are better, whatever the result tonight. 

I'm off to bed.

Good luck everyone.

Voted Labour even though I don't really like them and some of their policies could have a negative impact on my career. There's people out there who are more in need than I am and they deserve better.

[sharkyvilla]

So what's everyone watching?  Sky News have John Bercow on.

Are you buggery.

Feel sick to my stomach.

[tonyh29]

Drum roll ....

[Genie]

Exit says Tory 368 labour 191

[Chindie]

Anxious. But I know it'll be the worst result, because that's the way things go now.

Wow
