Theresa May's future in doubt as election gamble backfires

Theresa May is this morning facing calls to resign as Prime Minister after her snap election gamble spectacularly backfired.

Hopes of a Conservative landslide were replaced by the reality of a hung parliament in the early hours of Friday morning as voters rejected her appeal for a personal mandate to negotiate Brexit.

Sky News' projection is for the Conservatives to remain the largest party on 315 to 321 seats - with 326 required for a majority.

Labour are projected to win between 260 and 266 seats - more than under both Ed Miliband and Gordon Brown.
