Twitter reacts as it emerges Home Secretary Amber Rudd is in danger of losing her seat

Exit polls aren't always accurate.

Still, the one that was announced shortly after polling stations closed on Thursday evening didn't make pleasant reading for the Conservatives. Pointing towards a hung parliament, the exit poll suggested the Tories would  fall 12 seats short of the 326 needed for an  absolute majority in the House of Commons. Labour were on 266, followed by the Scottish National Party on 34 and Liberal Democrats on 14. Plaid Cymru had three with the Green Party put on one. According to the BBC, the exit poll also suggested that Home Secretary Amber Rudd, who was recently sent by Theresa May to represent her party at the televised leaders' debate,  was in danger of losing her Hastings and Rye seat.   https://twitter.com/britainelects/status/872925044447604741?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmetro.co.uk%2F2017%2F06%2F08%2Fhome-secretary-amber-rudd-could-lose-her-seat-in-election-upset-6695902%2F Predictably, Twitter had plenty to say on the matter... https://twitter.com/davidschneider/status/872945612039303168 https://twitter.com/MattLangham/status/872925032472772608 https://twitter.com/JamesMelville/status/872925117789212674 https://twitter.com/AdrianLangan/status/872954295662018565 https://twitter.com/FUERTESKNIGHT/status/872953684585582592 https://twitter.com/JonnElledge/status/872952309302669312 As we say, exit polls are merely a forecast.
