Labour win in landslide | Instant reaction to the Exit Poll

Labour is on course for a landslide, according to exit poll projections, with 410 seats, while the Conservatives are set for 131 seats.
The exit poll also forecasts the Liberal Democrats on 61 seats, Reform UK on 13 and The Green Party on two.
In Scotland, the SNP are expected to secure 10 seats and Plaid Cymru in Wales, four.
It would be the worst result since 1832 for the Conservatives.
Andrew Marr, Shelagh Fogarty, Lewis Goodall and Jon Sopel provide their instant reaction.
