Oh to have been a fly on the wall at the Daily Mail when the BBC’s election exit poll was announced on the night of the general election.

As spotted by @youngvulgarian, in an article in the New Statesman.

It wasn’t a happy moment for Rupert Murdoch either, by all accounts.

Heard from very good source who was there that Rupert Murdoch stormed out of The Times Election Party after seeing the Exit Poll 😂 #Vote2017
