    Ashworth loss is most shocking result so far

    Henry Zeffman
    Chief political correspondent

    We reported earlier that shadow pensions secretary Jonathan Ashworth had lost his seat in Leicester South.

    This is the most shocking result of the night so far.

    I think it also does suggest that in parts of the country politics is re-orientating around religious and cultural divides - and I think a lot of people in a lot of the main parties will be very concerned about that.

  3. Conservatives hold Meriden and Solihull East

    Burnley was a top Labour target, with a Conservative majority of just 127 in the 2019 election.

    And Labour have done it - Oliver Ryan wins and bolsters the majority to 3,420 over the Tories.

  5. Alliance Party gain Lagan Valley from the DUP

    Alliance have beaten the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) in Lagan Valley, in Northern Ireland.

    This seat, which used to be held by former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson, was a close fight.

    Sorcha-Lucy Eastwood beat Jonathan Buckley by a narrow margin of 2,959 votes.

    Breaking

    With more than 160 seats already declared, this forecast updates the earlier exit poll, which predicted a Labour majority of 170.

    Other changes from that earlier poll include fewer expected seats for Reform UK, from 13 to four, and for the SNP - from 10 to six.

    Shapps's speech reminds us politics is about human beings

    Chris Mason
    Political editor

    A reminder listening to Grant Shapps a little earlier - as he acknowledged his defeat in Welwyn Hatfield - that politics at its heart is about human beings.

    Success, failure, jubilation, anguish, regret.

    Shapps - perhaps the most capable communicator in the outgoing government - delivered his words with a audible crack in his voice.

    A career at Westminster that began in 2005 ends in the middle of the night in 2024.
