    Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn wins his seat as an independent with 24,120 votes.

    He's been an MP in Islington for more than 40 years.

    He was blocked from standing for Labour by the party's governing body after being suspended as a Labour MP in 2020 for his response to a report into antisemitism in the party.

    Labour's Praful Nargund trailed Corbyn by about 8,000 votes.

    BBC polling expert

    In Cannock Chase, where Labour took the seat from the Conservatives earlier, the Tory vote has collapsed spectacularly as predicted by the exit poll - a 40-point drop.

    The 12-point increase in the Labour vote is slightly more than anticipated by the poll.

    Meanwhile, the 27% increase in the Reform vote is also in line with what was expected

  9. Overall turnout looks low

    It looks as though the overall turnout could fall to 61%, which would be the lowest since 2005.

    Reporting from Portsmouth North

    Conservative supporters of Penny Mordaunt have told me she has lost the Portsmouth North seat where she has been MP since 2010.

    The size of her defeat to Labour is expected to be around 800 votes, too many for the declaration to be delayed by a recount.

    The former defence secretary and leader of the House of Commons has yet to attend the count.

    Scottish Health Secretary Neil Gray

    I’ve just been speaking to Scottish Health Secretary Neil Gray, who’s in a reflective mood.

    He concedes it’s been a difficult night for the SNP and stresses the need to “regroup quickly” - while, importantly, remaining united.

    It looks set to be a particularly difficult set of results for the SNP in Airdrie and Shotts, his former Westminster seat before he entered Holyrood that he’s been keeping an eye on this evening here in North Lanarkshire.

    The health secretary says it’s clear that Scotland wanted to see the back of the Conservatives - whose vote looks set to collapse across the central belt again.

  14. SNP facing decimation, says ex-leader Salmond

    Former SNP leader Alex Salmond tells Radio 4 and 5 Live that the party is facing "decimation" and it's a "catastrophic result" for the party.

    "It went into this election with a dreadful record over the last two or three years in government and no strategy to achieve independence," says Salmond, who left the SNP and founded the Alba party. "Thus you get a decimation."

  20. Veteran Tory Iain Duncan Smith holds Chingford and Woodford Green
    Breaking

    Graphic showing Conservatives hold Chingford and Woodford Green. The winning candidate was Iain Duncan Smith.

    Iain Duncan Smith is re-elected, after a lot of speculation that he could lose.

    He only had a lead of three percentage points (or 1,604 votes) going into tonight.

    But he's increased that majority to 4,758, with Labour's Shama Tatler losing out by around 5,000 votes.
