Britain needs stability, my party will ensure it, May responds to Corbyn

June 09, 2017 09:17

The Conservatives are on course to be the largest party but may not have an overall majority, according to the latest BBC general election forecast.

But Theresa May faces the humiliation of ending with fewer seats than when she called the election. The Tories are projected to get 318 seats, Labour 267 and the SNP 32.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn called on Theresa May to go - but she said the country needed stability and her party would "ensure" it.

Labour looks set to make 29 gains with the Tories losing nine seats - and the SNP could lose 24 seats in a bad night for Nicola Sturgeon, with her party losing seats to the Tories, Labour and Lib Dems.

The Conservatives are forecast to win 43% of the vote, Labour 40%, the Lib Dems 8%, UKIP 2%, the Greens 2%, the SNP 3%, Plaid Cymru 1% and others 1%.
