Mid Derbyshire's "going to be a while" we understand.
We’ve had a Labour gain in Derby North and a Labour hold in Derby South, but Mid Derbyshire I’m told is “extremely close”.
The Tories here have a majority of around 15,000. They stopped counting but they’re piling up the votes. Could there be a recount?
Luke Gardiner the Conservative candidate is sat with a coffee and has just watched his boss, Rishi Sunak keep his seat in North Yorkshire.
A few muted claps from Tory activists. But they know it’s been a terrible night for the party.
