    Despite the exit poll saying this seat was “too close to call”, Victoria Atkins has held her Louth and Horncastle seat with quite a comfortable majority. With many other senior Conservatives predicted to lose their seats, could she be a potential future leader?

    Asked if she would be launching a leadership bid, Ms Atkins said: “Let’s see what happens with everybody else.

    "It’s still very early in the morning, we’ll see what results come in, but it’s a huge privilege to be elected by the people of Louth and Horncastle.”

    Goole and Pocklington result is still to be declared

    Veteran Conservative Sir David Davis is in the house here in Goole. But he refuses to be drawn on the result here, as counting is drawing to a close.

    “It’s bad luck to predict outcomes”, he tells me.

    But you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that it’s a two-horse race between Labour and the Conservatives. The piles of voting slips on their tables are dwarfing that of the other four candidates.

    But Mr Davis, like his entourage wearing blue rosettes, is acutely aware of the national picture. They are gathered around phones refreshing the BBC News website. “I keep hearing terrible news from the rest of the country,” he says.

    Dr Caroline Johnson told the BBC she was "sorry" to see the national political picture

    Dr Caroline Johnson has been re-elected as the MP for Sleaford and North Hykeham after beating Labour’s Hanif Khan by 4,346 votes.

    Conservative activists will take heart from this on a night when Labour looks set for a landslide victory.

    Dr Johnson has represented the constituency since the 2016 by-election, but has seen her majority reduced by 28,219 votes. She didn’t appear jubilant as the declaration was read out – you wouldn’t guess she had just held her seat on a difficult night for her party.

    Afterwards Dr Johnson expressed "great concern" over what she described as a Labour "super majority".

    "I’m delighted and honoured that the people of Sleaford and North Hykeham have once again put their trust in me to represent them in parliament.

    "I’m very sorry to see the national picture – clearly the Conservative party has lost the trust of many voters and it’s important that we rebuild that trust.

    Benjamin Jackson of Reform came third with 10,484 votes and Robert Oates of the Lincolnshire Independents came fourth with 3,032 votes.

    Voter turnout was down by 5.74% since the last general election.

    Nearly 49,000 people, roughly two-thirds of those eligible to vote, went to the polling stations across the area on Thursday.
