DaoDeMings Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 BBC forecasting Reform on 4 seats is a nice surprise given the exit poll. But it also has Cons on 154 which is very disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they’ve revised their numbers based on what’s come through and has Lab on 405, Cons on 154, LD on 56, Reform on 4.
