'This is a tremendous result!' Geoff Hoon REJOICES as exit poll suggests Labour set to surge to landslide victory in General Election

Speaking on GB News Geoff Hoon said that Keir Starmer has "turned the Labour Party around" and this is a "tremendous result."

He said: "It's an incredible achievement."

He added: "I'd be quite interested in seeing the actual percentages because this is a national poll that has then been converted into these numbers for seats.

"We won't know whether those seat numbers are correct until we see the actual results coming in."

Speaking about the leader of the Labour Party Keir Starmer, he said: "Nevertheless, for a man who was threatened with the sack after the Hartlepool by-election, he's done incredibly well for the Labour Party.

"He has turned the Labor Party around and turned it into a tremendous result tonight, in order to win a simple majority Labour had to get a bigger swing this time than we achieved in 1997, and he's gone way beyond that."

Starmer's predicted election victory comes after Conservative warnings of a Labour "supermajority".
