The country is today waking up to news that the Conservatives last night failed to win a majority in the UK general election, meaning there will be a hung parliament. The latest results have the Conservatives on 314 seats with Labour surging to win 261 seats.

Expert analysis is also to follow from Phelim O'Neill and our agribusiness team on the implications of this shock result.
