I'm at South Derbyshire's Green Bank Leisure Centre, where I've overheard independent Paul Liversuch talking to the Tories: “Well we’ve got something in common, we aren’t going to win are we!"

Alan Graves, Reform UK candidate in Derby South, has told us they are neck-and-neck with Labour in Derby South.
He said: "We're predicted to win 13 seats and who knows, maybe ones in Derby?
"Some [seats] are dead certs and we will have representation in Parliament because that's just the stepping stone for the future.
"I'm quite pleased because looking at some of these votes that have come out in Derby South, I'm pretty neck-and-neck with Labour at the moment and who knows where I'm going to come out. I'm going to come first or second."

Kelda Boothroyd, Green party candidate for Derbyshire Dales, admits she won’t win, but says it's never been the party's message.
"Here we've just done out best, I've been glad to do it and give people the opportunity," she said.
"On the doorstep up until yesterday morning [people] were completely undecided. Not traditionally a swing seat, now it looks like we could be.
"People are looking for alternatives. The other thing that's come up is climate change which has been completely missed by the main parties."

Bolsover verification and the start of counting ballots to get under way by around 01:00 BST.
Bolsover's predicted to declare at about 03:45.
In Derbyshire Dales, Labour's John Whitby has been chatting to BBC Radio Derby's Jack Tymon about music as well as politics.
That's beacuse Mr Whitby, is a former musician in a band "a long time ago" which once supported the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
He says the exit poll shows the Conservatives can't stop a Labour landslide.
"It's sort of in line with what some of [the polls] were saying," he said. "It's not quite as high as some were saying, but as long as there's a Labour government I'm absolutely delighted."
He said the soundtrack to the count would be "something tense" by the way.

This exit poll, if it’s correct, means there will be Tories across Derbyshire that will lose their jobs tonight.
Conservatives here have been fighting on their local records and it probably won’t be enough. It doesn’t look like a Doomsday scenario though - some graphics showed the whole of Derbyshire turning red during the campaign.
Some Tories told me privately that the national campaign had definitely hindered them. It’s telling that the only people with rosettes here so for are from Labour.
I’ve yet to see a blue rosette on the count floor.
Forget queues at polling stations, at Bolsover's count, the ballot boxes faced a wait to get inside.
The BBC's Kat Harbourne snapped the line snaking out of Dronfield Leisure Centre.
The county's first count to declare in 2019 was Erewash, which re-elected Conservative Maggie Throup at 03:09 GMT.
Six minutes later Amber Valley and High Peak came in, with South Derbyshire a short while later.
Derby's counts returned at about half four in the morning, and Bolsover and Mid-Derbyshire were latest in the county, coming back after five.
We expect Erewash, pictured busy counting the 2024 votes, will again be the first locally to declare, but we think we have a few hours yet for the counts to complete.

A seat created in 2010, Mid Derbyshire has been solidly Conservative since then with an increasing vote share.
But with the incumbent Pauline Latham standing down and the projected Labour swing it could be an interesting watch.
The strange make-up of Mid Derbyshire - it comprises part of two boroughs, Amber Valley and Erewash, along with the city of Derby - makes it hard to draw too many conclusions outside of the general election.
Image source, Conservative PartyMs Latham has not had to campaign that hard in recent elections but Tory candidate Luke Gardiner – a former special advisor to Rishi Sunak - has been active in the constituency this time around.
Labour said it had come across Tory voters who were staying at home and some Greens - who poll well in Belper and Duffield - said they were going to vote tactically.
The Tories will be hoping their vote holds up in the Derby City Council wards that they poll well in during local elections.

Counting has started in various locations across the county.
Here you can see votes being counted in Wirksworth for the Derbyshire Dales constituency.
And ballot boxes have arrived at the Erewash count too.

Analysts who predicted that the so-called red wall would fall in 2019 looked at places like North East Derbyshire, which fell two years prior, and said that was the blueprint. They were right.
Prior Tory attack lines over a Labour-SNP coalition in 2015, Brexit and Jeremy Corbyn as prime minister meant people in this area switched in their droves.
Tory incumbent Lee Rowley's campaign has hardly featured any Conservative branding and there's been minimal reference to his boss, the prime minister, in his election material. This has been solely a local campaign.
Image source, GoogleLabour face a task of overturning a near 13,000 majority and their candidate is a former Army intelligence corps officer who has served tours of Afghanistan and is highly regarded for a future role in the Ministry of Defence if elected.
Sources tell me that if you pile the vote in the Sheffield border towns of Dronfield, Eckington and Killamarsh, you'll go a long way towards securing victory.

On paper, this is an easy Tory hold - but this election is not a normal one.
Heather Wheeler has been in post here since 2010 and holds Derbyshire's biggest majority of more than 19,000.
But Labour candidate Samantha Niblett has hit the constituency hard on the campaign trail and is highly regarded in the party. She’s been campaigning here well before the prime minister fired the starting gun of the election race.
Image source, GoogleParty bosses at Labour headquarters told Ms Niblett and others in Derbyshire trying to overhaul big majorities to stay where they are and fight the seat.
Resources have been made available whereas in the past, she may have been instructed to help with more marginal campaigns.
But it will still be tough for Labour.
Sources have told me Reform UK and their performance here could help Labour to secure the massive swing of 17.5% they need.
Ms Wheeler hasn't had a challenge to the right of the Conservative Party since UKIP polled nearly 9,000 votes here in 2015. Boundary changes will probably hurt the Conservatives here too.
