General election 2019: As it unfolded across the West Midlands
The Conservatives have secured Wolverhampton North East.
Jane Stevenson took the seat from Emma Reynolds, who has represented the constituency since 2010.
This is the first time Wolverhampton North East has been held by any party other than Labour since 1992.
Nigel Huddleston has been re-elected as the Conservative MP for Worcestershire Mid.
He secured a majority of 28,018 votes
Voters in Walsall North have returned Eddie Hughes as their Conservative MP.
The majority for the returning MP has soared from 2,601 in 2017 to 11,965 - and has a 63.8% share of the vote.
Amanda Milling has been re-elected as the Conservative representative for Cannock Chase.
She secured a majority of 19,879 - more than double her majority of 8,391 in the 2017 election.

The Labour leader of Telford and Wrekin Council has called for "soul searching" after the exit poll suggests the Conservatives will hold the constituency and secure an 86-seat majority.
Politics needs "a new generation of Labour MPs to take the party forward", Shaun Davies said.
Boris Johnson launched the Conservative manifesto in Telford
Projections suggest Conservative Lucy Allen will be returned as Telford's MP.
She secured the seat in 2015 but at the last election her majority was just 720 votes.
It was Telford where the prime minister launched the Conservative manifesto, where he pledged the town's A&E would remain open leading to confusion about the future of the emergency department which is set to be downgraded.
Craig Tracey has been re-elected as the Conservative representative for Warwickshire North with a majority of 17,956 votes.
The Conservative Party has secured a majority in Solihull, meaning Julian Knight will continue as the town's MP.
He secured a majority of 21,273 votes and a 58% share of the vote.
John Spellar, who has been MP for Warley since 1997, holds onto his seat.
Nadhim Zahawi has been re-elected as Stratford-upon-Avon's Conservative MP.
He secured more than 60% of the vote - 33,343 votes compared to 13,371 for Lib Dem's Dominic Skinner who came second.
Ms Zahawi has been an MP for the the town since 2010.
The Conservative party has held onto its seat in Meriden.
Saqib Bhatti secured more than 34,000 votes - a 63% share.
Meriden was previously represented by Dame Caroline Spelman, who stood down ahead of this election.
It is too close to call which party will take West Bromwich East.
The seat has been held by Labour since it was created in 1974 and by former deputy leader of the party, Tom Watson, since 2001.
Mr Watson announced he was stepping down for "personal reasons". Voters who spoke to the BBC said they were disappointed and it might turn them away from Labour.
Across the town in West Bromwich West, projections suggest the Labour stronghold will be taken by the Conservatives - the forecast suggests only a 7% chance Labour will keep the seat it has held since it was created, also in 1974.

It's too close to call in two out of the three Wolverhampton constituencies at the moment - Wolverhampton North East looks set to be claimed from Labour by the Conservatives, but it's too early to tell how the city's other two seats will end up.
We've been speaking to voters in the Black Country city including pub landlord Gavin Craig who told us he hoped the new government would "heal divisions".
Wolverhampton is a city that is at odds with itself. It has neighbourhoods with huge deprivation, yet is also home to a number of leafy, affluent suburbs.
In 2016, 62.6% voters backed Leave. Yet it was represented by three Remain-supporting Labour MPs, although that could change tonight.
We also spoke to first-time voter Effy Carey who told us she wants the next government to do more to help homeless people.
"I care about homelessness, just helping people, communities helping each other. I just want to be able to have a say," she said.
As Stoke-on-Trent looks to change hands from Labour to Conservatives, what have voters there said they want to see from the next government?
Bernardo Pezo said he wanted to see the next government take a more radical approach when it came to the care system and care leavers.
He was getting arrested on a weekly basis by the time he turned 18 - and placed the blame squarely on a lack of support and guidance.
General Election 2019: Who cares about young people leaving care?
Elsewhere in the city, youth worker Jerahl Hall was campaigning hard to get young people to exercise their right to vote.
He hopes young people will be able to be more engaged in the politics in the future.

The Labour candidate for Birmingham Perry Barr has criticised the party's policy on Brexit as the exit poll suggests Labour will lose seats to the Conservatives.
"Our message on Brexit wasn’t clear enough and the public are punishing us," Khalid Mahmood, who has represented Perry Barr since 2001, said.
"Hypocrisy and lies have cut through," he added.
"We need to ask hard questions and that involves a change in leadership."
The exit poll predicts Perry Barr will remain a Labour seat.
Conservative Marcus Jones has been re-elected in Nuneaton.
He secured 27,390 votes - 61% of the vote - where the turnout was just over 45,000 voters.
Mr Jones has represented the constituency since 2010.
Jess Phillips, hoping to be re-elected as MP for Birmingham Yardley has tweeted to say she is "heartbroken" following the exit poll which suggests a Conservative majority.

The survey suggests the Conservative Party are set to win a majority of 86 seats.
Ms Phillips' seat has been held by Labour since she was elected in 2015, before that it was held by the Liberal Democrats for 10 years.

If the exit poll's forecast of a strong Conservative majority is correct, it will be seen as a vindication of the party's strategy to target Leave supporting traditional Labour strongholds, our political editor Patrick Burns writes.

The Conservatives look poised to take seats from Labour in Staffordshire, Birmingham and the Black Country.
And we're off!
Ballot boxes have been coming in across the region and counting is underway in earnest.
Counting begins in Warwick

Our WM political reporter for Birmingham says it's looking bad for Labour in Birmingham Northfield.
'Not a single Labour person here has expressed confidence they're going to keep the seat," she said.
And they are right to be concerned. The exit poll predicts Northfield is a likely Conservative gain from Labour.
"It's also looking closer than Labour would like in Edgbaston and Erdington potentially but one source tells me ‘we might have just about shored them up’," she said.
Kathryn is at the ICC where votes for seven of the city's 10 seats are being counted.
One of the surprises of this election campaign was former-Labour MP Ian Austin saying voters should put a cross in the box for Boris Johnson and the Conservatives.
The exit polls suggest many people have done just that, with the Conservative share of the vote for Dudley North expected to be 58%.
Earlier in the campaign, we spoke to lifelong Labour supporters who said they would be putting a cross in the Conservative box for the first time.
"It was a family tradition for us to always vote Labour and we've voted for Mr Austin in the past," Charles Flavell told us.
"But for the first time in my life I'll be voting Tory and that's because of Brexit.
"I don't like the deal but I think it's better than no deal and we should be backing Boris Johnson."
