Election 2017
International Trade Secretary Liam Fox thinks it's "entirely possible we will still get a majority" as there are "very differential results across the country".
He won't be drawn into saying how the Conservatives would behave as a minority government, explaining "I'm not going to give positions when we don't know what the next Parliament looks like."
He won't comment either on Theresa May's future, saying only it's "very early" and he's "pretty happy we might outperform" the exit poll.

North Norfolk: 'Too close to call'published at 00:33 British Summer Time 9 June 2017
Andrew Sinclair
BBC Look East political correspondentI'm in North Walsham, where counting is taking place for the North Norfolk constituency.
It's been held by the Liberal Democrats' Norman Lamb for 16 years, but he's fighting off a challenge from the Conservatives' James Wild.
The feeling here from both the Lib Dems and the Conservatives is that is a very, very close call, and there could be fewer than 1,000 votes between them.
This has been a seat which has been the centre of attention throughout the general election campaign.
The Lib Dems tell me they've given it their best shot but they feel they've been outgunned by the Conservatives, who've thrown a lot of resources into campaigning here.
The Lib Dems' best hope is to trade on Norman Lamb's record as MP for 16 years, and they've fought a local campaign. I understand that the party's leader Tim Farron did offer to come up and campaign, but they said they'd rather keep it local.
