The polls have closed, the exit poll suggests a slashed majority only in double figures for Labour, but Blair must be confident, he's letting John Prescott speak to the BBC:
"I've been travelling round the constituencies talking to over a hundred of our candidates in the battlefield area, and the impression I got from them going around was they were quite chipper about it, they knew there were difficulties, but I thought the diffi- they thought the difficulties were going to be difficult- mo- more difficult than they were frankly. But I don't know, there was uncertainty, nobody spoke with any certainty whatsoever, we have to wait and see what the people have said."
