    "It would be very foolish for anyone in the Labour Party to step down" following the general election, its deputy leader Tom Watson says.

    He claims people told him during the campaign that this was "an unnecessary election" and Theresa May is going to regret that "opportunism".

    "Be careful what you wish for if you have unnecessary and uncalled for general elections," he adds.

    It's still early days but but former LibDem leader Lord Ashdown is sounding a gloomy note.

    The returning officer and team (pictured here) urgently recalculate the turnout in Morecambe.

    After they announced an eye-watering 82.5% turnout, to whoops of disbelief, it proved too good to be true.
