The story in Sussex so farpublished at 05:30 British Summer Time 9 June 2017
Ben Weisz
Political reporter, BBC SussexBefore this election Sussex was a sea of Tory blue. That sea has not evaporated.
Seats like Chichester and Wealden were never in doubt. While the Tories saw off the Lib Dems in a tight tussle in Lewes.
But the tide has receded a little.
First came the news that Amber Rudd was in trouble in Hastings. And though she eventually won the day, Labour's Peter Chowney ran her very close.
For an incumbent Home Secretary, even with a relatively small majority, it's quite a shock.

Then the news that Hove would not turn blue, shattering any remaining hope of a Tory landslide.
In conceding to Labour, the Tory campaign manager in Hove told me the ill-fated launch of the Conservative manifesto changed the tone of the campaign and put the Tories on the defensive.
Then followed Stephen Lloyd's return to office in Eastbourne for the Lib Dems.

As we headed into morning, Kemptown fell to Labour. Lloyd Russell-Moyle didn't just unseat Treasury Minister Simon Kirby. He got a majority of nearly 10,000. Kemptown is no longer a marginal.
It may be a truism but plenty of those in the political world paid it no heed. Voters will not be told how they're going to vote weeks in advance.
