Labour leader Keir Starmer wins his seat in Holborn and St Pancras in London.

He wins with 18,884 votes - with pro-Palestinian activist, independent Andrew Feinstein, in second place. Starmer's majority is down significantly from 22,766 in 2019, to 11,572 tonight.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey - who took part in a number of eye-catching stunts over the past few weeks, and who has retained his seat - says he "rather enjoyed this campaign".

But he says what he loved most was not the paddle boarding or the bungee jumping, but was speaking to people across the UK about the "challenges they face and their hopes for the future".

He lists a number of issues, and says many who have been let down have turned to his party, some people for the first time, and says the Lib Dems will be their champion.

Electoral officials have ordered a second full recount in the Basildon and Billericay constituency - where the Conservative Party Chairman Richard Holden is standing.

The vote is still too close to decide.

At the main count centre in the Titanic Quarter in Belfast, the phrase I’m hearing again and again is "it’s too close to call".

The race between two party leaders in East Belfast - Gavin Robinson of the Democratic Unionist Party and Naomi Long of the cross-community Alliance Party - is said to be neck-and-neck.

Alliance’s deputy leader Stephen Farry has a huge fight to keep the only seat the party currently holds in North Down - where the independent unionist Alex Easton is apparently polling well.

There are more positive signs for Alliance in Lagan Valley - where Sorcha Eastwood is challenging strongly to take the seat from the DUP, in what historically has been a unionist stronghold.

One constituency seems very likely to change hands at this stage - South Antrim, where the Ulster Unionist Party is confident it will take the seat from the DUP. The former Stormont health minister, Robin Swann, would be the UUP’s first MP in seven years.

Results are coming in thick and fast now.

If you're just joining us, or need a recap (us too), here's some of the key moments so far:

• Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves and shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson have both been re-elected for Labour
• Energy minister Justin Tomlinson lost Swindon North to Labour
• Another senior Tory, former Cabinet minister Robert Buckland, hit out at his Tory colleagues when he lost his seat earlier, saying he was "fed up of personal agendas and jockeying for position"
• A full recount is taking place in Basildon and Billericay, where Conservative Party chairman Richard Holden is at risk of losing his seat
• Lee Anderson has become the first Reform candidate to win election to the Commons, having previously defected to the party from the Tories
• George Galloway, leader of the Workers Party of Britain, has lost the seat he won earlier this year, with Labour retaking it
• In the first announcement of a party leader's seat, Ed Davey is re-elected for the Lib Dems

The exit poll suggests Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has just a 19% chance of retaining his seat - but could he buck the national trend?

On the count floor, it's very much a two-horse race, between Hunt and Liberal Democrat Paul Follows.

One Lib Dem fears the Tories may have "edged it", another that it may be close enough for a recount.

But there's still a way to go here, with a few boxes taking a wrong turn on the way to the count, declaration is not expected until 04:00 BST.

The pattern of party competition is being significantly changed by Reform's success in this election so far.

The party came second in 18 of the first 33 seats declared. In 10 of the first 15 seats the Tories lost, the seat would have been saved if those who voted Reform would have voted Conservative instead.

This shows the impact Reform is having on their fortunes.

A source on the counting floor says it's looking like Labour has won Defence Secretary Grant Shapps's Welwyn Hatfield seat by around 3,000 votes.

The count is still ongoing, but it's looking likely that - as predicted - Shapps has lost.

Labour is ahead in five of the eight counting areas, Conservatives are in front in two, it's a draw in one.

Shapps has held the seat since 2005 with a majority of around 11,000 at the previous election. This year the turnout was down on the last time at 64.6%.
