Sunak holds. He has conceded the election in his speech.

Hunt holds as well.

If the independent had won, then she would have been the first (or one of the first) MPs born in the new millennium.

Fair dues to Hunt; that was a very gracious speech he just gave.

I love that he highlighted the importance of democracy. I don’t agree with him on pretty much everything, but I think this is one thing that most would agree with him on.

Rees-Mogg out.

And Labour now have 327 seats, so will have a majority.

It would have been hilarious if North East Somerset was the 326th seat to declare for Labour, but sadly it wasn’t.

Still good to get rid of that haunted pencil though.

Invoking my inner @Klopptimist (urgh), now it has to be said.

Congratulations Sir Keir Starmer, now let’s see if your actions can repay the faith of the people who voted for your party. Let’s hope that you can bring competence to the running of this country and its institutions.

My seat has gone Labour by a massive margin. Previously it was SNP with Conservative close and Labour trailing in third.

I had been worried that the Labour would split the anti-Tory vote but the Tories have been knocked into 4th place.
