    The co-leader of the Green Party Carla Denyer wins with 24,539 votes - taking the seat from Labour.

    It means Thangam Debbonaire, the current shadow culture secretary, no longer has a seat in the Commons. She came second, with 14,132 votes - a 25.9% drop from the 2019 election.

    Bristol Central was a target seat for the Greens - their first seat of the night. The party is projected to win two seats, according to the exit poll.

    Thomas Daw, Green Party candidate for Weston-super-Mare

    This is Thomas Daw, The Green Party Candidate for Weston-super-Mare - but some people think he's the Oscar winner, Cillian Murphy.

    Thomas, who is 20 years old, says some people actually voted for him because they thought he was the actor himself.

    However, he told me: "it's a great compliment, but also reflects how uninspired, or how undecided, some people were when it came to the election.

    "They were looking for anything that bought them joy, or inspiration, to come out and vote."

    Jacob Rees-Mogg has arrived at the North East Somerset & Hanham count.

    And, as ever, a scrum of photographers and journalists surrounded him and the family members who accompanied him.

    He'd brought a large bag of sandwiches, as he often does, to help activists get through the long hours of counting.

    However, I'm hearing even more strongly from Labour activists that they are feeling confident of winning. Mr Rees-Mogg is facing off against Dan Norris, the man whose seat he took in 2010.

    The Bath constituency is also being counted here. Liberal Democrats are relaxed and smiling when discussing that seat, with Labour talking up their chances of coming second.

    Labour and Tory supporters exchanging bewildered looks at the North Somerset count.

    Conservative supporters have told us they're the "most nervous they've ever been".

    Some, with decades behind them supporting the party, say they've never seen it so close.

    The Tories have held the seat in various forms since the 1880s.

    The Green Party are feeling increasingly confident of a historic victory in Bristol Central, for their candidate and co-leader Carla Denyer.

    Labour sources have told me the situation doesn’t look great for Thangam Debonnaire – who has been a loyal shadow cabinet member and Bristol MP since 2015.

    Neither has arrived at the count yet.

    Labour's Darren Jones held the seat in 2019 with a majority of 5,692 votes.

    It’s another Labour figure, former MP Doug Naysmith, who holds the record for the biggest majority, winning by 11,382 votes in 1996.

    This was after he lost the seat by a mere 45 votes in 1992 to sitting MP Michael Stern.

    The Thornbury & Yate MP Luke Hall has arrived at the count.

    I asked him if he’d be staying long after the declaration and he said he might, but he wouldn’t be doing any press interviews.

    But then again, I can’t remember the last time he did say yes to a press interview…
