Looks like this is absolute shenanigans from GB News and Reform. Cooper to increase her majority.

I think the Tories just came 4th in Ashfield.

Lee Anderson has won Ashfield. Shame.

GB News reporting that Reform are saying they've beaten Yvette Cooper. Which would be one of those unexpected gains, and a proper kick in the stotts for Starmer (and Cooper).

Dan Jarvis (Lab) wins one of the Barnsley seats that the exit poll had down for Reform. 8,000 votes ahead of Reform. Apparently Labour is on course to take the other Barnsley seat too (also down as Reform in the exit poll). Don't think Reform are getting 13 seats, unless they get surprise wins elsewhere.

Full recount in Billericay. Apparently 20 votes in it. Sweaty night for Holden.

Sunak to resign tomorrow according to Tim Shipman (Sunday Times).

Labour querying the exit poll as it relates to Reform and saying, based on their data, Reform are not going to win 13 seats.

This would be immense.

Although tbf he got a bit testy at the end pointing at people in his party who don't tell the truth. Shame he waited til now to make his mouth go about it like, when it can just be written off as sour grapes.

Buckland boring the absolute balls off everyone here with his loser speech.

BUCKLAND DOWN! First Lab gain of the night. Swindon South.

If I was Mandelson, if/when Labour hold Hartlepool, I'd be demanding they get botox boy back on to see if he still wants to flap his fucking gums about Reform's big night. Absolutely this btw:

I've had to put C4 off. Dorries won't shut up and she's plainly mental. They've got too many people on at the same time.

Mandelson absolutely dominating this botoxed eyebrow plucker from Reform on the BBC.

Interesting that John Curtice says that Reform have underperformed slightly in the first couple of declarations. Wonder if that 13 is gonna end up being overegged. If it is, all the spackajacks who voted for them are gonna claim it's election fraud cos they went to bed having won 13 seats and woke up with less.

This is gonna be Farage's big problem. If this bloke ends up winning, he's gonna have to chuck him out of the party.

Given Reform performance so far, Richard Holden will do very well to win in Billericay.

Two seats declared. Tories third in both. Leadsom on BBC declaring them "STILL the natural party of government".

27% in Blyth. Leadsom busy attributing the Tory failure to not being right wing enough. This sounds promising for an extended period in the wilderness.

Rees Mogg in now. God I hope this cunt loses his seat. He's got a double picture frame behind him with Churchill and Thatcher in it.

Don't try and drag me into your CREEPY ways!

They got 29.1%.

Fucking hell, BIG vote share for Reform in Bridget's seat.
