    Emily Thornberry and Jeremy Corbyn hug

    After sharing a hug on the stage, shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry makes way for Jeremy Corbyn, to almost deafening cheers from loyal supporters.

    With the crowd now in party mood, Mr Corbyn excites them further saying "inequality can and will be tackled".

    He says austerity can be ended, we can stand up to the cynics and give public services the money they need.

    Labour is the "new mainstream", he says, and he speaks of his pride in the positive campaign his party has fought.

    Earlier, at a final campaign rally in Birmingham, Theresa May set out the Conservative vision for what she called a "fairer, stronger, independent, more prosperous Britain for us all".

    She reinforced key messages of the Tory campaign, telling activists voters would ask themselves who they trusted to have the "strong and stable" leadership to get the best deal for Britain in Europe.

    Mrs May called on activists to go out and "reignite the British spirit" as she described the opportunities of a "brighter future" for the next five years and beyond.

  15. What is an exit poll?published at 21:13 British Summer Time 7 June 2017

    An exit poll is a sample survey of people who have just voted at a polling station.

    Statistical sampling methods are used to determine which voters to interview.

    The main point of the "interview" is to ask the voter to complete a duplicate ballot paper.

    Exit polls differ fundamentally from pre-election polls (voting intention polls, or opinion polls) in that only people who actually vote are included in the sample.

    In the UK, where general election turnout is typically only a little over 60%, this matters.

  18. Is politics too tightly controlled?published at 20:40 British Summer Time 7 June 2017

    BBC Newsnight's John Sweeney writes:

    Margaret Thatcher won re-election in a landslide victory in 1983

    History doesn't repeat itself, but it does burp.

    Bored by an over-controlled election campaign starring a lady in Number Ten with little contact with ordinary voters and an old gent wowing rallies of only the lefty faithful? Comparing today's campaign with what happened to writer Robert Harris - then a cub reporter on Newsnight - in 1983, external is uncanny, almost creepy.

    "These allegations of a female prime minister avoiding all contact with journalists and the public are not new," he tells me.

    "I came the wrong end of an encounter with Margaret Thatcher who was touring a factory... It was a breakout new kind of election, an American-style copied from Reagan where you didn't do the monster rally, you didn't go out on the hustings, you just got good pictures for the evening news.

    "It was really noticeable the difference between Thatcher's campaign and Foot's campaign which was huge rallies - one evening I think he had 30,000 people - much good it did him."

    Michael Foot lost and Mrs Thatcher won in 1983.
