    Former Blyth MP Ian Levy has said he and his wife Maureen, who also lost, will "have a break".

    Mr Levy finished third behind Reform's Gordon Fletcher and Labour's Emma Foody, who will be the MP for the newly-created Cramlington and Killingworth seat.

    He famously won Blyth in the 2019 election for the Tories.

    Mrs Levy finished third in the Blyth and Ashington seat behind Reform's Mark Peart and Labour's Ian Lavery.

    When asked if he and his fellow Conservative wife would stay in politics, Mr Levy said: "We’ll have a break, take stock, and decide what we’re going to do."

    There were huge cheers in South Shields from the red corner of the count after Emma Lewell-Buck retained the seat for Labour.

    She’s been the town's MP since 2013.

    She said she was hugely emotional on a massive night for her party and she’d be happy to do any job in a new Labour government.

    She also said she’ll be having a few fizzy ones with her team to celebrate.

  16. Analysis

    Direction of travel looks clear

    Results for Newton Aycliffe & Spennymoor, City of Durham and Bishop Auckland now expected to start coming after 02:15 BST, but the direction of travel looks clear.

    Labour is set to not just retake Newton Aycliffe & Spennymoor (the reshaped Sedgefield constituency) and Bishop Auckland but to do so by some margin, and it looks likely to significantly increase its majority in City of Durham.

    The only question is whether Reform UK will beat the Conservatives to second place?

    Judging by the piles of votes I can see (not a scientific survey) they are marginally ahead.

  18. Not a good start, but still early doors - Conservative's Howell

    Paul Howell, Conservative candidate for Newton Aycliffe and Spennymoor, said it was "very, very early doors", but it did not look like a good start "with the boxes we have in at the moment".

    "These boxes are from Spennymoor and the new part of the constituency, so you haven’t had a chance to show what you could do," he said.

    "If you have been somewhere and worked and shown them how much you can do you expect to do better."

    Mr Howell won the former Sedgefield seat from Labour in 2019 - once famously-held by former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
