BBC political editorIt’s only just after 2am. There are lots of seats to come in. But at this stage, Tory ministers are saying they do not expect to outperform the exit poll. That means, despite all of those Tory expectations, that confidence they regained in the last week or so of the campaign, the Conservatives are now beginning to give up on achieving a majority.
It’s just not clear yet whether or not they will be the largest party. Our exit poll suggests that they will. But either way, Theresa May is under pressure. She called this election only because she thought she would achieve a much bigger majority than the Tories already had. Even if the Conservatives still end up ahead in terms of the number of seats, her authority looks set to be seriously damaged. It is hard to see how her reputation will recover, and she will have achieved the opposite effect of what he had hoped.
This election could produce a more uncertain political picture, a wounded PM trying to take on the most complicated task any prime minister has faced that’s if, of course, the Tories remain the largest party, and she hangs on.
