The goodish news - Reform has only 4 seats, the same as the Greens, so the exit polls were badly wrong.
The really bad news - Reform has more than 4 million votes, more than Lib Dem on 3.5 and not far behind Tories on 6.7 million and Labour on 9.6.
There’s a ceiling on the amount of ‘short money’ that opposition parties receive according to the number of votes they received if they have less than six seats.
