DONALD Trump has boasted of a big win for Boris Johnson in tonight’s General Election.
The president took to Twitter to give his thoughts on the goings on across the pond.
He tweeted: “Looking like a big win for Boris in the U.K.!”
Boris Johnson got a hero’s welcome tonight alongside girlfriend Carrie as he was on course for a huge landslide – and Labour boss Jeremy Corbyn announced he would resign.
The Tory boss was applauded and cheered by supporters as he arrived in Uxbridge and held onto his seat.
Meanwhile, Corbyn said he will step down as Labour boss before the next election after failing to win a second poll in a row – and taking the party to its worst result in 40 years.
Earlier, Brits headed to the polls to vote in one of the biggest and most decisive elections ever.
Exit polls put Boris Johnson on course for a majority win with 368 while Labour trailed at just 191.
Prime Minister Johnson, who gambled his premiership by triggering the vote, has sought to focus on his pledge to “get Brexit done” throughout the campaign.
Meanwhile Jeremy Corbyn’s campaign has been overshadowed by anti-Semitism allegations and his refusal to take a stand on Brexit.
Voters had braved freezing temperatures throughout the day to line up outside community halls, churches and schools to have their say – and risked being a touch late for work.
Astonishing pictures of snaking queues came despite initial fears of a low turnout in the first December election in nearly 100 years.
The third General Election in less than five years has been largely dominated by the 2016 vote to leave the European Union – with Labour pledging to give voters another say in a second referendum, while the Tories have vowed to take the UK out of the EU next month.
The last election in the UK in 2017 saw a 68.8 per cent turnout, higher than at the 2015 and 2010 elections – with bookies offering 6-4 odds on a 65-70 per cent turnout this year.
