Political reporter, BBC Derby
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.

Rachel Elnaugh-Love, a former dragon on BBC series Dragon's Den, was an independent candidate in Derbyshire Dales.
She told the BBC: "It's looking really close, but my sense is Sarah Dines for the Conservative Party has just pipped the post over John Whitby of Labour.
"There's a lot of anger in the public about the way politics has gone.
"Cost of living is a big one, people are suffering but big corporations are making big profits. A lot of anger about things like sewage in the rivers.
"I've been speaking out for years now, I'm not a politician but it felt right to stand out and say you don't have to vote red or blue."

In Amber Valley, Nigel Mills giving his 'last speech' says he doesn't plan on doing any more politics.
