Watching Stamer's speech & feeling there is finally some hope for our nation. I remember 97 with all its euphoria & this feels very different. There's a huge sense of relief, the adults are back in charge, we have a government genuinely motivated to improving the country. #GE24
Absolutely chuffed to bits to be re-elected in Oxford west and Abingdon with an increased majority of 14,894.
My pledge to all voters, regardless of how you voted, is that I will put you and our community at the heart of everything I do.
Supplies locked in! Don't think I'll be up all night for the results this time ๐ฌ But the exit poll and initial reactions should be good! #Elections2024#IndependeceDay#GE24
Yes - @Channel4 will have the exit poll at the same time as the Beeb โฆ and we will have a small live audience and a group of senior politicians in the studio to react as @krishgm and @maitlis spell out the findings. Join us for the best all night reporting and analysis #NoAdsAllNight
Remember a few years back when Boris Johnson tweeted he had just returned from voting in the local elections?
It was then explained to him there were no elections in his area that day.

One of the joys of election night is the collapse of party discipline. Once the polls close, the blame game within the Tory party (which has never had much discipline anyway) will begin in earnest. So here's a little game to keep you going. Have a drink for each one you hear.
MRP Final Update
We published our final polling call last night based on our telephone poll conducted between the 1st and the 3rd of July, alongside an updated set of MRP estimates.
Overnight, we ran the model again, which now includes the final responses collected by telephone yesterday evening, but with a higher number of simulations (800). This will be our final update of any kind for this General Election. Below are our updated MRP seat estimates for GE 2024, with changes vs. 3rd July 2024.
Final probabilistic seat count:
Labour: 470 (-5)
Conservative: 68 (+4)
Liberal Democrats: 59 (-1)
Scottish National Party: 14 (+1)
Reform UK: 15 (+2)
Green Party: 4 (+1)
Plaid Cymru: 3 (-1)
For the avoidance of doubt, there is no data in this release collected today.
