After retaining his seat in Doncaster North with a majority of 9,126 votes, Labour MP and former leader of the party Ed Miliband has spoken about a future role in Keir Starmer's cabinet.

When asked if he would take on the role of Energy Secretary, he said: "That's a matter for Keir Starmer - he'll be making those decisions. I will serve in any capacity he chooses.

"But tonight, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction with a Labour government and responsibility that we've got to repay the trust that people have put in us."

Turnout in Yorkshire in 2024's general election fell 10% compared to turnout in 2019. It was 55% compared to 65% in 2019. This was the lowest turnout for a general election recorded in the last 80 years.

Labour’s vote share in this election in our region was 42%, while the party polled 40% in 2019.

In terms of vote share, Labour did better in 2017 when led by Jeremy Corbyn when they polled 50% of vote share. These were the seats that Labour took from the Conservatives. York Outer in these Labour gains saw the biggest increase in vote share for the party at 15%.

Conservative vote share in the region was 23% - the lowest vote share recorded for the party since Winston Churchill was leader in 1950. However, the party did retain more seats than expected when compared to the MRP polling.

The main bright spot for the Conservatives was Robbie Moore in Keighley and Ilkley, who secured 40% of the vote in his constituency. These are Conservative holds.

Despite the exit poll predicting major gains for Reform UK, the party won no seats in Yorkshire. Vote share for the party was 16% across the region. It came second in 10 seats, polling best in Barnsley South at 33%.

The Greens had a fantastic night, coming second in six constituencies across the region and achieving 8% vote share in Yorkshire - their best ever result. They out-polled the Lib Dems who achieved 7% vote share.

The Lib Dems achieved their aim of winning Harrogate and Knaresborough, but fell well short of winning Sheffield Hallam, which was a target for the party.

The Independent candidate who won in Dewsbury was the surprise of the night. Iqbal Mohamed won 41% of the vote compared to Labour who achieved 22.9% of the vote. This is the first time an Independent candidate has won a seat in a general election in Yorkshire since 1907.

It was a good night for Independent candidates across Yorkshire. In 2019 Independent candidates polled 9,360 votes, but in 2024 they polled a combined total of 59,131 of votes.

Louise Haigh, the re-elected Labour MP for Sheffield Heeley, says she hopes Sir Keir Starmer will appoint her to his cabinet.

Ms Haigh, the Shadow Secretary of State for Transport, says one of her first priorities will be centred around transport.

"The first priority is to get the basics right, to get the trains to run on time and the buses to turn up," she says.

"For too many people that has not been the case and that's left whole communities cut off from each other."

The new Labour MP for Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme, Lee Pitcher, says he is "still in shock" after his victory - but is looking forward to getting started.

He says one of his priorities will be the reopening of Doncaster Sheffield Airport, which he believes will reduce the amount of travel people currently have to do to fly from other airports.

"We are in a transition period, we need to transition really quickly," he says.

"It's about looking at the innovation, the technology and working with aeroplane providers to look at what we can do in the future in terms of renewables and how you use different types of fuel."

Labour's Olivia Blake has been re-elected as MP for Sheffield Hallam with a majority in the several thousands.

Ms Blake says people have "really rallied around Labour's call for change".

"It's quite clear that Labour really now have to deliver on that change, we've got promises to keep and we are going to keep them," she says.

"It's time to start rebuilding our country and get the change we need."

The new Labour MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge says one of her priorities is to secure the future of the steel industry in her constituency, which is home to Liberty Speciality Steels.

Dr Marie Tidball tells the BBC: "We've set out a platform of really positive priorities for change and people voted for that tonight with a resounding and clear support for it.

"Making sure we are working hard to deliver economic stability, cutting NHS waiting times and putting in place 6,500 more teachers in our schools."

Doncaster mayor Ros Jones has hailed Labour's "clean sweep" in the city's three constituencies as well as Rawmarsh and Conisbrough.

"We really do need the change, we need the change for Doncaster and many other places like it," she said.

Ms Jones says she is hopeful the party's success will pave the way for the reopening of Doncaster Sheffield Airport.

In her victory speech, the new Labour MP for Doncaster Central, Sally Jameson, paid tribute to her predecessor Dame Rosie Winterton.

"She has been an outstanding MP for Doncaster Central for 27 years," the former prison officer said.

"Her legacy is an inspiration and I hope to carry on the good work she's been doing here in Doncaster.

"I promise that I will fight with everything I have in me to deliver for our city."
