INSTANT VIEW-PM Johnson heads for Brexit election win

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is on course to win Thursday’s election, giving him the numbers in parliament needed to pass his Brexit divorce deal next month, according to an exit poll on Thursday. Below is early reaction:

NAOMI SMITH, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE PRO-EUROPEAN CAMPAIGN GROUP BEST FOR BRIATIN "While this exit poll isn’t promising, the influence of tactical voting at this election has yet to be revealed.

"Let’s be clear: a majority for Boris Johnson tonight would engulf the UK in a fresh crisis. There is no Brexit deal, only an agreement to talk about a deal in the future." (Compiled by UK Bureau. Editing by William James)
