Greens have won Suffolk Coastal from the Tories.

The Tories typically win in the large rural constituencies which take longer to count and end up being later results. That'll be why the revised figures. They've revised Reform down to 4 as well. Thankfully a relatively bad night for them.

Her and Badenoch keeping their seats is a damning indictment of our electorate. Then again people seem to have voted Reform in huge numbers which is equally as bad.

Yup - expected at 4am

Waking back up just in time to see Farage win his seat. Hopefully his outfit only get a handful and end up a parliamentary irrelevance. Also see it looks like the exit poll overestimated Labour and underestimated the Tories going by the new estimate which isn't good. Shocked Lee Anderson has kept his with such a large majority as well.

And no sooner have I posted that has Swindon South come through with the Tories 2nd and Reform 3rd - still a Labour gain though.

So that's 3 third places out of 3 so far for the Tories. Shame that it's also 3 2nd places out of 3 for Reform.

This reform guy is so f***ing petulant.

BBC Graphics aren't up to their usual standard. No ticker across the bottom of the screen telling you declared results by party. This isn't up to the standard I pay my license fee for.

First Reform guest on the BBC Coverage.... time for a brew.

Another one with Reform second, looks like Reform is absolutely decimating the Tory vote in these north east seats.

Rees-Mogg is insufferable.

Reform didn't stand in many areas of the locals though, so that has to be taken into account.

That Reform vote should have many Labour people shitting bricks. Sunderland is an area that Reform did well in at the locals but still surprisingly high.

BBC but might be turning it off if we don't get a result soon. Kuensburg is insufferable.

Nice to see The Last Dinner Party and Scouting for Girls in the mix.

Really wish they wouldn't have politicians on these things, just give us the results not the politics.

It's Lindsay Hoyle - Speaker

A good landslide victory if lower than some expectations. Reform getting 13 seats is scary.

Sounds like Kuensburg is going to be giving us shit tory spiel all night, exit poll and off.

Exit poll in a few minutes.

Not sure how long I'm going to be staying up for. Definitely to see the exit poll and maybe the first results to see if they tally with the exit poll. If it tallies there's not really much pointing staying up all night to just watch the seat declarations.

For anyone who can't wait until 21:55 for their election night programme - Sky's youtube stream is going live at 9pm.

Just a reminder voting for this closes tomorrow at 23:59

Labour had very little chance in 2019 - the polling was consistently in Boris's and the tories favour on the back of Get Brexit Done. I thought Labour might have won in 2017 but sadly we all know how that ended.
