Tory Party Faces Meltdown as Exit Poll Predicts Devastating Losses

The Conservative Party is facing a potential meltdown as the election exit poll predicts devastating losses, with key party figures at risk of losing their seats. Cabinet ministers like Penny Mordaunt, Jeremy Hunt, James Cleverly, Grant Shapps, and Gillian Keegan could be on course for defeat tonight. The exit poll suggests the Tory party will plummet to just 131 seats, setting the stage for significant upheaval within the party.

Amid the unfolding election drama, prominent Tories like Robert Buckland, the former Cabinet minister, have already lost their seats. Others, including Justin Tomlinson and James Cracknell, have also faced defeats in their respective constituencies. Lee Anderson made history as the Reform Party’s first MP after winning the Ashfield seat.

Ballots are being verified in several constituencies, with all eyes on results in seats held by top Tories like Rishi Sunak and James Cleverly. The anticipated losses for the Conservative Party have been described as historically bad, prompting reflections on the campaign and the party’s future direction.

In a surprising turn of events, Police Scotland is investigating potential electoral fraud in Glasgow, adding a new layer of complexity to an already tumultuous election night. The exit poll results have upended expectations, with the SNP also facing setbacks in Scotland.

As the night progresses, the Conservative Party grapples with the harsh reality of the exit poll predictions. Former leaders like George Osborne have likened the anticipated results to the party’s ‘Waterloo,’ signaling a potentially seismic shift in the political landscape.
