The scoreboard method of covering these things is only done out of laziness and convenience anyway.
Sky news has been pushing a particularly...
interesting line throughout the night. They note that Labour are roughly even on 2018 results. Since 2018 came a year and a half before the 2019 GE and this is likely one to two years before the next GE, this means things are roughly in line with 2019; thus despite the polling disadvantage the Conservatives are in fact in line to retain their current majority at present. Meanwhile, results inside London don't matter because Labour has always been improving there anyway. They conclude that Keir Starmer's leadership of Labour must be called into question.
