  6. Analysis: Friday 13th is day Labour will never forgetpublished at 08:39 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2019

    Yorkshire Labour supporters might be forgiven for desperately hoping they could go back to victories like 1997.

    Saying Labour did badly here doesn’t really cut it. People in parts of Rotherham and Doncaster now have a Conservative MP for the first time in their constituency’s history.

    The West Yorkshire seats we talk about being an indication of the national election picture were always going to be tough. Four of them went.

    But further south, three more communities kicked Labour out.

    Rother Valley is made of former mining villages. It’s been Labour since 1918.

    Don Valley surrounds the town where railway workers created the Labour movement.

    Half of Penistone and Stocksbridge only exists because it was formed around the steelworks.

    These are Labour areas. But not anymore.

    This Brexit election turned things around. The view here on the Labour leadership also made the party feel less connected to its roots.

    The 12 December election returned results on a Friday the 13th the party will never forget.

  7. Morley & Outwood: Conservative holdpublished at 08:33 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2019

    Andrea Jenkyns has been re-elected as the MP for Morley & Outwood, with an increased majority.

    The Conservative candidate beat Labour's Deanne Ferguson by 11,267 votes, more than double the majority at the 2017 election.

    Craig Dobson of the Liberal Democrats came third and the Green Party's Chris Bell came fourth.

    Voter turnout was down by 2.5 percentage points since the last general election.

    Nearly 52,000 people, roughly two-thirds of those eligible to vote, went to polling stations across the area on Thursday, in the first December general election since 1923.

    Three of the five candidates, Craig Dobson (Liberal Democrat), Chris Bell (Green) and Dan Woodlock (The Yorkshire Party) lost their £500 deposits after failing to win 5% of the vote.

  8. Hull remains Labour-held city - but MPs' majorities are cutpublished at 08:07 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2019

    Hull remains a Labour-held city following the general election, though all its MPs kept their seats with significantly reduced majorities.

    Last time round, Hull West and Hessle MP Emma Hardy had a majority of 8,025 which is now cut to 2,856.

    And Diana Johnson, the newly-elected MP for Hull North, has a majority of 7,593 compared to her 14,322 majority in 2017.

    Ms Johnson (pictured) said despite the fact Labour had a "difficult" night nationally, she was "really proud the people of Hull North have, for the fifth time, put their faith in me".

  9. Bradford West: Labour holdpublished at 07:43 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2019

    The Labour candidate beat Conservative Mohammed Afzal by 27,019 votes, 5,117 more votes than the majority at the 2017 election.

    Derrick Hodgson of the Brexit Party came third and Liberal Democrat Mark Christie came fourth.

    Voter turnout was down by 4.8 percentage points since the last general election.

    More than 44,000 people, 62.6% of those eligible to vote, went to polling stations across the area on Thursday, in the first December general election since 1923.

    Four of the six candidates, Derrick Hodgson (The Brexit Party), Mark Christie (Liberal Democrat), Darren Parkinson (Green) and Azfar Bukhari (independent) lost their £500 deposits after failing to win 5% of the vote.

    Reacting to the exit poll, Ms Champion said the party needs to "radically rethink what Labour stands for".

    Paul Hague of the Brexit Party came third and Liberal Democrat Adam Carter came fourth.

    Voter turnout was down by 2.2 percentage points since the last general election.

    Nearly 36,000 people, 57.8% of those eligible to vote, went to polling stations across the area on Thursday, in the first December general election since 1923.

    One of the five candidates, Dennis Bannan (The Yorkshire Party) lost his £500 deposit after failing to win 5% of the vote.
