One feature of tonight's results is how the advances that the Conservatives secured in Leave-voting areas after the EU referendum, most notably in 2019, have been entirely lost.

Compared with 2019, support for the Conservatives is down by 12 points in seats where less than 45% voted Leave.

In contrast, support for the party is down by 27 points in seats where more than 65% voted Leave. However, the pattern of losses in Conservative support since 2015 - before the EU referendum - is more or less the same everywhere.

Support for the party is down by 12 points, compared with 2015, in seats where less than 45% voted Leave, while it is down by nine points where more than 65% voted Leave.

Here are some more:

• Labour take Mid Derbyshire from the Conservatives
• Loughborough from the Conservatives
• Wakefield and Rothwell from the Conservatives
• Halesowen from the Conservatives
• Morecambe and Lunesdale from the Conservatives
• Rochester and Strood from the Conservatives
• Stoke-on-Trent Central from the Conservatives
• Basingstoke from the Conservatives
• Scarborough and Whitby from the Conservatives
• Hull West and Haltemprice from the Conservatives
• Cities of London and Westminster from the Conservatives
• Truro and Falmouth from the Conservatives
• Calder Valley from the Conservatives
• North East Hertfordshire from the Conservatives
• Leeds North West from the Conservatives
• Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy from the SNP
• Glasgow North from the SNP
• Glenrothes and Mid Fife from the SNP

In Wales, Rishi Sunak's former parliamentary aide Craig Williams has lost his seat, after he was embroiled in the Westminster betting scandal.

Williams, who admitted to having a "flutter" on the election date, was predicted to hold his seat in Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr, but it was Labour's Stephen Witherden who succeeded.

Tory support was withdrawn from Williams following the revelation.

In a post on X, Witherden says he's "beyond humbled" to have been elected.

Roughly 30 people are inside Conservative Campaign Headquarters this morning, I’m told.

What’s the mood?

One emerging party member tells me: "On Monday, we start again."

While an official simply looks up at the sky and remarks: "It’s not raining."

So, a mix of fighting talk and weather observations.

We can now bring you some more Lib Dem wins, including:

• Surrey Heath, taken from the Conservatives - this was Michael Gove's former seat, but he wasn't standing
• North Shropshire, from the Conservatives
• Chippenham, from the Conservatives
• Taunton and Wellington, from the Conservatives
• Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe from the Conservatives

Still addressing supporters in central London, Keir Starmer tells them "thank you truly - you have changed our country".

After reaching the required 326 seats to win the general election, he says "a mandate like this comes with a great responsibility".

He adds that the task of a Labour government is "nothing less than renewing the ideas that hold our country together".

"We have to return politics to public service," he goes on, adding his government will "show it can be a force for good".

We're getting some more results in from constituencies, with more Labour wins:

• Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock, taken from the SNP
• Na h-Eileanan an Iar, from the SNP
• Edinburgh East and Musselburgh, from the SNP
• Birmingham Northfield, taken from the Conservatives
• Dartford, from the Conservatives
• Earley and Woodley, from the Conservatives
• East Worthing and Shoreham, from the Conservatives
• North Northumberland, from the Conservatives
• Peterborough, from the Conservatives
• Chatham and Aylesford, from the Conservatives
• South Norfolk, from the Conservatives
• Sherwood Forest, from the Conservatives
• Bournemouth West, from the Conservatives
• North East Somerset and Hanham, from the Conservatives
• Ashford, from the Conservatives

He tells the BBC he can't "blame anybody other than myself" and that it's been "a very bad night for the Conservatives" - but the "small silver lining is that we will at least be the official opposition, which some of the MRP polls were saying wouldn’t be".

"I think that Rishi Sunak has done his best," Jacob Rees-Mogg adds.

Labour has officially won the 2024 general election after reaching the required 326 seats.

Speaking in central London, the next prime minister Keir Starmer says "change begins now".

"It feels good, I have to be honest," he tells a cheering crowd.

Labour's Diane Abbott wins Hackney North and Stoke Newington with a healthy majority of more than 15,000 - down from 29,000 at the last election.

She's represented the seat since 1987, but her win is a statement after a row around whether or not she would be allowed to stand for Labour this time.

Abbott had been suspended from the party last year, after suggesting Jewish, Irish and Traveller people experience prejudice, but not racism "all their lives" - sparking a long-running process which saw her sit as an independent MP.

An extraordinarily good night for Labour - but not with Muslim voterspublished at 04:56 British Summer Time 5 July 2024

Let’s be clear, tonight has been an extraordinarily good night for the Labour Party. Under Keir Starmer they have won more seats than they would ever have dreamed in the aftermath of the 2019 general election.

But there is grit in the oyster. They have performed strikingly badly in seats with large numbers of Muslim voters. Labour’s vote is down on average by 10 points in seats where more than 10% of the population identify as Muslim.

That’s one reason Labour have lost Leicester East to the Conservatives and the main reason perhaps that Jonathan Ashworth, a shadow cabinet minister, lost Leicester South to an independent - so far the biggest shock of the night.

More may yet come. I’m told by a senior Labour source it’s extremely likely that a pro-Palestine independent will win in the new seat of Batley and Dewsbury. It’s possible an independent will win in Blackburn.

I’m getting mixed reports about Shabana Mahmood, the shadow justice secretary, in Birmingham Ladywood, but her team are certainly far less bullish than they were at the start of the night.

Other recent Labour gains include:

• Edinburgh South West (from the SNP)
• Worthing West (from the Conservatives)
• Glasgow South West (from the SNP)
• Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme (from the Conservatives)
• Ossett and Denby Dale (from the Conservatives)

Here are some more quotes from the - now outgoing - Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

"On this difficult night, I'd like to express my gratitude to the people of the Richmond and Northallerton constituency for your continued support," he says.

"The Labour Party has won this general election, and I've called Sir Keir Starmer to congratulate him on his victory.

"Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner, with goodwill on all sides. That is something that should give us all confidence in our country's stability and future.

"The British people have delivered a sobering verdict tonight, there is much to learn... and I take responsibility for the loss.

"To the many good, hard-working Conservative candidates who lost tonight, despite their tireless efforts, their local records and delivery, and their dedication to their communities. I am sorry."

Hunt's victory defies Tory expectationspublished at 04:47 British Summer Time 5 July 2024

Jeremy Hunt’s victory in Godalming and Ash is an extraordinary vindication of his decision to spend almost the entire election campaign pounding the streets of the constituency.

I cannot overstate the extent to which everyone in Westminster assumed he was a goner.

On the contrary, he is now a hugely significant voice in the debate to come about the future of the Conservative Party.

Other recent Lib Dem gains from the Conservatives include:

• South Devon
• Winchester

Other recent Labour gains from the Conservatives include:

• Camborne and Redruth
• North East Derbyshire
