Jeremy Corbyn says "politics has changed", with people saying they've had quite enough of austerity, underfunding of schools and the health service, and not giving young people the chance they deserve.

Paying tribute to the support of his wife and family, he said he was very proud of his campaign and the results coming in, which have given people "hope for the future".

Jeremy Corbyn says the message of this general election is for Theresa May to go and make way for Labour.

He says the election was called for the PM to gain a large majority "in order for her to assert her authority".

But he says while she wanted a mandate, instead she was given lost Conservative seats, votes and confidence.

"I would've thought that was enough to go actually," he says, adding that she should make way for a government representative of the people of this country.

Labour has attracted voters to the polls, with the increase in turnout so far proving to be bigger in areas where Jeremy Corbyn's party was strong in 2015 than in places where it was weak.

In places where Labour won over 50% of the vote in 2015 the turnout is up on average by 4 points. In seats where Labour won less than 15% last time the turnout is up by 2%.

Labour's unexpectedly good performance has also been achieved in part by getting voters who previously abstained to vote for the party - much as the Corbyn camp said they would manage to do.

Lord Menzies Campbell has paid tribute to Nick Clegg, his successor as Lib Dem leader.

He suggests that Sir Vince Cable, a cabinet minister in the coalition with the Conservatives and who was the interim leader after he resigned, could be in the running as the party's next leader.

He says Sir Vince, who has just won back his Twickenham seat, was great for the party and "a genuine heavy hitter". He also hailed the re-election of Jo Swinson - one of the party's "most talented" politicians.

Conservative former minister Sir Eric Pickles described Mr Clegg as a "deeply decent" man who paid a price for being in coalition.
