Let's go outside the building because we have our map of the UK on its being basically changing color and changing shape.
-
We have our figures, their own broadcasting houses, you can see and they're all projecting that majority for Boris Johnson.
-
They tell their own story.
-
But just down there to the right, where we have new broadcasting house Sofia's there with the changing political map of the UK My goodness, how it has changed.
-
We can show you the shot tonight of what the map looks like.
-
When we came on air, that was with the colors off the 2017 general election.
-
As the results came in, we took them all up, and now we have been relaying that map.
-
But look at how dramatically different that map already is looking.
-
One place that is pretty much unchanged at the moment is down here.
-
London It's huge on our map of hexagons because the 73 MP is really distort a map and many of them remaining red tonight.
-
But it's very much looking like an island off red.
-
I've got a couple of voters with me here.
-
You're a labour voter labor London version.
-
You must very disappointed tonight.
-
Absolutely.
-
I think Labour really misjudged the mood of Brexit around the country and we actually means to people in their traditional Heartlands.
-
As you can see, they've really just only broken through in London, which was a safe bet in the first place on your liberal Democrat, voter lived EMS have taken a big seat Richmond Park here in London, but they lost their leader.
-
I think the taking of Richmond Park is hugely important in signify that lived and still have a significance in the Ford moving politics.
-
I think that overall it's been a dismal.
-
It's the Lib Dems and I think we need to look for a new leader as you know, evidently showed.
-
I think what it came down to it was a failure of leadership.
-
I think that it rests more with Jo Swinson than it does with our Brexit policy.
-
I think that as a leader and in personality, she didn't connect with voters enough.
-
Okay, well, let's just take you across England and North East Wales here, which is was marginal seats which have just gone blue and it is really striking.
-
Just how much has changed.
-
We were talking earlier about the Red War.
-
Well, that has been breached.
-
In fact, if you come up here into north west of England, there's literally a path now a blue path from the West Coast, all the way over into the East Coast, past Yorkshire.
-
And I've got a voter from Yorkshire, your from Halifax, a conservative, delighted conservative voter.
-
Very much so, yeah.
-
I mean, it's been a fantastic night.
-
I mean, obviously the majority is far exceeded.
-
What I expected, especially fantastic to see so many sort of seats in the north, in Yorkshire and the north, East and elsewhere flip from red to blue.
-
But I think that from them into the Labour Party, stake in the North for granted for far too long.
-
But that is the extraordinary thing.
-
Watching this tonight is the seats that some of them have huge majorities.
-
Labour majorities have just gone in data, and I think it's largely down to the Brexit issue because officer than off all three regions Yorkshire, the northwest in the northeast, it over a minute to leave.
-
But that's only labour MPs that refused to expect that result.
-
And I think that's ultimately the sort of Democratic justice coming back to bite them because those constituents there for years haven't gone away there because I believe the U hasn't got away but hasn't been acted either.
-
That's that's the evidence here of justice in action, Thank you very much.
-
And just another big changes.
-
Well, this is very much like it was in 2015 when we watched Scotland go yellow.
-
Well, that is happening all over again.
-
Obviously.
-
Jo Swinson losing her seat.
-
A big story there.
-
I've got a voting here from Sterling with me.
-
Now your reaction.
-
You want independence, you voted SNP or reaction to the results tonight.
-
But it's always a difficult night because Scotland votes one way England votes another and we can see with the oldest blue.
-
That's not what we want.
-
We want our independence.
-
We want a left of center government and we want to be in the U Are you gonna get it?
-
Well, what blue voting means?
-
Anything It must.
-
Okay, well, thank you very much.
-
So as you can see this map really changing shape in front of our eyes and huge sway that read war as definitely being breached.
-
Well, indeed.
