Trumpism is toxic. U K Conservatives will be short of a majority,

Theresa May has suffered a heavy blow after the official exit poll indicated Britain is heading for a hung parliament.

The survey of some 20,000 people leaving polling stations suggested Ms May's party has taken just 314 seats in total, 12 short of an overall majority.

The unexpected result would see Labour increase its number of seats by 34 to 266, while the Liberal Democrats would take 14. Nicola Sturgeon's SNP appear to have suffered heavy losses.

Trump's Islamophobic attacks on the London mayor energized the left.
