UK General Election 2019 - Election Day and Results Thread

I hope this is what happens

David Dimbleby Huw Edwards: As Big Ben strikes 10 we can give you the results of our exit poll . There it is 10 o clock and we say Boris Johnson will remain prime minister and a landslide is likely it's going to be a hung parliament with the Conservatives as the largest party. And the figures: 300 for the Conservatives, that's down 18. Labour stays on 262. The SNP, the Scottish National Party, 45, up 11. Treat that figure with a bit of caution for technical reasons about the exit poll which I don't need to explain right now. The Liberal Democrats on 21, up 9. And the smaller parties: Plaid Cymru stays on 3, the Greens on 1, none for Brexit, & the others: 18.

FTFY.
