If this poll turns out to be anywhere near accurate, it would be an extraordinary result.

There’s never been such a turnaround in a course of a campaign .

It looks like the Tories have been punished for taking the British people for granted.

In all my years as a Labour member I have never been more disgusted by a Tory election campaign.

And the contrast with Labour’s positive, people-powered movement could not be more stark.

Labour’s poll standing and Jeremy Corbyn ’s standing surged as people were able to hear our message, policies and Jeremy directly.

Theirs was marked by smears, outright lies and U turns. Ours was upbeat, forward-looking and inspiring.

Theirs was bankrolled by billionaires and business tycoons. Ours was funded by millions of ordinary people giving what they could.

Theirs was frightened and hidden. Ours was in the open and honest.

Theresa May travelled the country by helicopter and private jet. Jeremy Corbyn crossed the UK on trains and buses.

But the star of the show in my opinion was not any one person. It was our manifesto.

Our policies were for the many not the few. Our vision for Britain was one of transformation of our economy and investment in hospitals and schools.

All of it funded by asking the rich and big businesses to pay in a bit more, having had it all their own way for far too long.

Regardless of how the rest of the night plays out, one thing is for sure, Labour is on the march again.

We have defied the critics who said we would never get a hearing for these sorts of policies. How wrong they were.

We have shifted the debate and changed the landscape of British politics.

We have brought people back to the party and signed up thousands upon thousands of new members.

We are a great party, we are part of a great, great movement and I could not be more proud of that.

Labour poured energy and resources into voter registration – and an extra 3 million people registered in the five weeks between the election being called and the deadline.

It looks like their voice has been heard.
