Reporting from WidnesSo a recap of what's happened in Runcorn and Helsby this evening and this morning.
A full recount has been confirmed. This is after some papers were rechecked earlier.
Sources from parties said there were just four votes in it.
The counting team, the gathered press and the candidates and their teams are going to be here in the DCBL Stadium for a fair bit longer now.
It's also worth noting that we still haven't seen the Labour and Reform candidates here. And there was talk of Nigel Farage arriving too, but again, we've not seen him.
As for me, I've decamped to the press room to open my emergency Skittles. Election nights always require some extra snacks as you never know what could happen!
Still no idea when Runcorn will be calledpublished at 11:36 British Summer Time 2 May

Reporting from WidnesHere at the Runcorn and Helsby count in Widnes, the returning officer has called over the candidates and agents again - he said there’s a couple of doubtful votes they want to verify.
Still no estimate on the declaration time here.

Image source, BBC / Kaleigh WattersonWe’re hearing Reform leader Nigel Farage may be on his way, so much of the press pack has moved to the front entrance, while the rest of us wait near the declaration stage.
It doesn’t look like there’s much counting going on at the moment.
Still no sign of either the Labour or Reform candidates.
It's looking very close in Runcornpublished at 11:32 British Summer Time 2 May

Reporting from Widnes
We’re being told that a result may be not too far off in the by-election in Runcorn and Helsby.
The media are waiting. We’ve no steer yet - and Labour sources are not commenting on their feelings.
But looking at the piles, it looks very close between Labour and Reform.
Reform UK party staff here are suddenly active.
