Former Labour minister Geoff Hoon has hailed the General Election exit poll as a “tremendous result” for Labour, with the party set to see a landslide victory in the General Election.
Based on the exit poll numbers, the Labour Party is expected to win 410 seats while the Conservatives are expected to win 131.
Speaking on GB News Geoff Hoon said that Keir Starmer has “turned the Labour Party around” and this is a “tremendous result.”
He said: “It’s an incredible achievement.”
He added: “I’d be quite interested in seeing the actual percentages because this is a national poll that has then been converted into these numbers for seats.
“We won’t know whether those seat numbers are correct until we see the actual results coming in.”
Speaking about the leader of the Labour Party Keir Starmer, he said: “Nevertheless, for a man who was threatened with the sack after the Hartlepool by-election, he’s done incredibly well for the Labour Party.
“He has turned the Labor Party around and turned it into a tremendous result tonight, in order to win a simple majority Labour had to get a bigger swing this time than we achieved in 1997, and he’s gone way beyond that.”
Starmer’s predicted election victory comes after Conservative warnings of a Labour “supermajority”.
Speaking to GB News yesterday, Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride warned that the Labour Party is heading to an “extraordinary landslide”.
Meanwhile, former home secretary Suella Braverman declared the election battle is already “over”, instead saying the fight to save the Tories from extinction must begin.
