The Tory stronghold of the eastern region has become even stronger. The Conservatives have held on to seat after seat, some in the face of fierce competition from Labour and they added to already large majorities in many places.

North Norfolk MP, Norman Lamb, is the only Lib Dem MP left in the region after Sir Bob Russell lost his seat after 18 years as the MP for Colchester. Simon Wright also went and Dr Julian Huppert was ousted from the flagship city of Cambridge.

Conservative Peter Aldous wins in Waveney.

It's been an excellent night for the Conservative party in the East, while the Liberal Democrats appear to have been hit very hard. Veteran MP Sir Bob Russell has lost his seat in Colchester and Julian Huppert suffered a defeat in Cambridge.

It's also been a challenging night for Labour, who have failed to win repeatedly in their target seats and lost Corby. It was a difficult night for UKIP, too, who failed to win Castle Point.
