    Chairman of Reform UK, Richard Tice arriving at the Boston and Skegness count

    “Let’s wait and see” said Richard Tice as he strolled into the Boston and Skegness count just before 03:00.

    He may have been cautious outwardly, but his smile said it all; there’s real confidence from the Reform camp that they’ll overturn the Conservative’s massive majority in the Brexit capital of the UK.

    Results are due at 04:00 BST, but there’s consensus in the room that this contest could be too close to call and may need a recount.

    Either way Richard Tice, and Reform, may be on the brink of overturning one of the biggest Tory majorities of 2019 and overthrowing the Conservatives from a seat they’ve held since England last won the World Cup in 1966.

    Charmaine Morgan, who is standing as a Lincolnshire Independent in Grantham and Bourne, tells the BBC she is “deeply concerned” that none of the mainstream parties appear to be offering the level of investment and support “our communities desperately need”, especially when it comes to investing more into public services, the NHS and infrastructure.

    Mike Rudkin - Reform UK - says he's feeling “upbeat” and “things are going really well”. He believes it will be a close race but is “quietly confident”.

    Meanwhile, Murray Turner, not standing but representing the Liberal Democrats, says they're “very happy” with the exit polls, but not surprised.

    They've been working hard and have a clear message, he adds.

    Independent Ian Selby says he's stood before. but “this time feels different”.

    “We've done well on the district and town council as independents, so we're moving in the right direction,” he says.

    Victoria Atkins is in the sports hall, watching on as the counting continues here. She’s looking fairly relaxed and chatting with her team, but clearly keeping a close eye on the piles of ballot papers. She’s held the seat since 2015 and has been Health Secretary in Rishi Sunak’s government since November, so she will be one to watch if she manages to hold on tonight. The feeling in the room is that it’s too close to call at this stage.

    Conservative Councillor Tom Dyer is still smiling despite predicting another loss for his party

    Conservative candidate, Karl McCartney, is in the building at the Lincoln count but hasn't yet appeared in the counting area. He appears to be in a comfort room set aside for candidates and their supporters.

    While the counting room is full of supporters of various parties wearing bright rosettes, so far there's been just a handful of Conservatives in the room.

    Lincolnshire councillor Tom Dyer, Conservative, is not wearing his. When asked he says "everyone in the room knows I'm a Conservative".

    He says he expects the party to lose the Lincoln seat to Labour tonight and for Conservative Karl McCartney to come third behind Reform UK.

    "For me and the frustration that I have, particularly as a young person, is that there were a lot of promises in 2019 and the Conservatives just haven't been able to deliver on those promises.

    "We could all accept that Covid got in the way but ultimately we haven't been able to deliver.

    "And the instability of the members of parliament taking their eyes off the ball has been incredibly unhelpful to me, as a councillor on the ground, and what we're seeing tonight."
