Are the BBC not flashing up the results on the straps this year? Have seen various results come in via Sky but not appeared on screen until the "state of the parties" graphic. Makes it very hard to follow.

What does that say about a channel if it scares fish? Just talk me through that.

They've always concentrated more on the talk. ITV claimed earlier that in 2019 they declared 450 of the 650 seats first.

Don't ITV call the results based on the piles of votes, whereas the BBC always wait for the declaration?

Even after declarations they're not mentioning them!

There seems to be too much analytical waffle rather than going to actual counts.

Does the BBC not have a permanent ticker of live votes on screen?

Needs to be on far more. Sky are doing better with this.

The flipper is now being used to show new results as they come in -- but it's odd that when a gain is shown on the flipper, it doesn't show which party previously held the seat.
