Labour earn one more vote than Tories and Reform combinedpublished at 03:44 British Summer Time 5 July

Reporter, BBC Radio NottinghamThere has been some talk of Reform candidates around the country taking votes away from Conservative candidates, but it appears it wouldn't have mattered in Broxtowe.
Juliet Campbell earned 19,561 votes, with incumbent Darren Henry earning 11,158 for the Tories and Reform's Joseph Oakley attracting support from 8,402 constituents.
If the right-wing parties' votes were added together, it would still leave them one short of the winning total.

Political reporter, BBC Radio NottinghamLee Anderson says there has been a "seismic reckoning" in Ashfield and across the country.
Speaking to reporters shortly after his victory, the Reform UK MP said people have "had enough of the two main parties."
"Nigel [Farage] said there's going to be a reckoning on election night... Reform are picking up seats tonight, make no bones about it. Next week I'll be on the green benches with Nigel and a few others and we're gonna give them hell," he said.
The former deputy chair of the Conservative Party said he doesn't regret being suspended by the Tories.
"Politics isn't that complicated. Listen to what they're saying on the doorstep, in the pubs and the shops, then go down to that place in London and tell them what they're saying."
He added he intends to continue presenting on GB News.
