    Welsh Secretary David TC Davies has told BBC Wales he has lost his seat.

    The former MP for Monmouth had been in Parliament since 2005. He had a majority at the last election of more than 9,000.

    He was the only cabinet minister with a seat in Wales.

    Mr Davies had stood for the election for the new seat of Monmouthshire, which had slightly altered boundaries.

    He told BBC Wales: "On the basis of the exit poll, there isn't a chance that I'll be winning, which is disappointing.

    "I've had great support from the local association, but the fact is, people wanted a change.

    "That's the way it goes into democracy. I'll be the first to acknowledge there's going to be a massive Labour victory and I certainly won't be in Parliament at the end of the evening and I'll put that on the record".

    Sir Keir Starmer is going to the be the UK’s next prime minister, at least according to an exit poll for the BBC, ITV and Sky.

    If the forecast is accurate, it means Labour will win a majority of 170 MPs, 410 in total – just short of Tony Blair's 1997 total.

    The Conservatives are predicted drop 241 MPs, to 131 - their lowest number in post-war history - with the Liberal Democrats projected to come third with 61 MPs.
