    We'll be here overnight and through the day on Friday bringing you all of the results for the general election in Kent, Sussex and Surrey - as well as a look at the picture nationally.

    We've got reporters stationed at key counts across the region, who'll bring you results as they come in, as well as a look behind-the-scenes as we wait for counting to finish.

    You'll also find analysis from our team of political reporters, plus some of our best videos from the general election campaign.
