One listener to the BBC's EU election results radio programme has asked what will happen to the UK's MEPs when Brexit happens?

Dr Chris Fear said they will lose their jobs, but he has few fears for their futures.

He said: "Remember a lot of them have already been elected in some other position.

"We have a lot of ex-councillors and ex-MPs so finding another job to be elected into is probably what they will do."

The result here in Poole is expected soon.

We have had 28 of the 31 areas counted so far and in all but two of those The Brexit Party has won quite handsomely.

The Greens won in Bristol and the Liberal Democrats in Gibraltar, but overall it's a very strong showing for The Brexit Party.

Predictions are looking like three seats for The Brexit Party, two Liberal Democrats and one Green.

A full result for Yorkshire and Humber is yet to be declared but so far, The Brexit Party has come out top in every area apart from York.

A full result is expected within the next 20 minutes.

There are six seats up for grabs.

The North East was the first region in England to declare, and here's a reminder of what happened there.

The Brexit Party took two seats and Labour the third, but the gap in the number of votes was vast.

The Brexit Party secured 240,056 votes compared to Labour's 119,931.

The Liberal Democrats have taken three of the eight seats in London.

Labour and the Brexit Party took two each and the Green Party got the eighth seat.

We have a result from the East of England and it's good news for the Brexit Party.

They took three of the seven seats, with the Liberal Democrats taking two and the Greens and the Conservatives one each.

Here at the sports centre in Kettering, the results are flying in faster than the Harlem Globetrotters could throw the balls into the hoops at the end of the hall here.

And The Brexit Party have stormed it. They are first in every single result so far bar one in Leicester where Labour came out top with 33,000 over the Brexit Party's 11,000.

If this vote can be taken as a representation of a second referendum, then the message here in the East Midlands is clear.

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has arrived at the South East count here in Southampton and says he is feeling confident.

He admitted the Liberal Democrats also looked like they were going to do relatively well.

It's the biggest area, we have 10 MEPs to be elected and Mr Farage has been an MEP here since 2009.

I could pretty much bet my house on the fact he will be an MEP again, he is number one on the Brexit party's list. What will be interesting is to see how many of these seats go to the Brexit Party and therefore how far down the party's list of candidates we will get.

Nigel Farage is the man who everybody will be wanting to speak to tonight.

We're still waiting for the regional result for the North West but we have just had the results from Manchester which are interesting.

Labour finished first, second were the Liberal Democrats, third Greens and the Brexit Party fourth.

I'm not sure that will reflect the results across the North West.

As you look around the tables, the looks from the faces of candidates and party activists can tell you a lot.

There are some pretty glum faces on the Labour and Tory tables, the Brexit Party are looking very happy as are the Lib Dems, and the Green Party as well seem pretty upbeat.

As for Tommy Robinson (pictured above), the former leader of the English Defence League who is standing here as an independent, he seems to suggest he is not overly confident. In Manchester he got about 2,000 votes, just for comparison Labour got more than 40,000.

A poll on who has the clearest policy found the Brexit Party coming top, according to Georgia Roberts from BBC Westminster.

Last was Labour and second to last were the Conservatives.

Georgia said: "That's a clear failure of communication there from the two biggest parties."

Dr Chris Fear said: "The Brexit Party has a very clear platform - to leave with a no-deal Brexit."

The election has been dominated by one word - Brexit.

Britain has of course voted to leave the EU but, as it has delayed its exit, we were still able to take part in the election.

Twenty-four parties put up candidates for this election across the UK and their stance on Brexit was one of the main things voters wanted to know about them.

You can have your say with Andrew Edwards and his guests on BBC Local Radio, below he explains how to do that.

Reality Check

What is the European Union? How are its members elected? And how much does the election cost?

The answers to all these questions and more can be found here.

The Brexit Party polled the most votes, with 15,674, while the Lib Dems were second with 5,045, the district council tweeted.

The Green Party was in third place locally with 4,994, and the Conservative Party finished fourth with 2,589. Labour were fifth with 1,933.

Turnout was 38.62%.

The turnout in London was up this year at 41.3%.

It was 40.1% in 2014 and though that gap doesn't appear to be that big, that election coincided with local elections which tend to get more people out to the polls, according to BBC correspondent Susana Mendonca.

In 2009 the turnout was 33.3%.

Turnout in the South East was 39.36% - up from 35.4% in 2014.

The South East region is made up of the Isle of Wight, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

The first and second of the North East three seats have gone to the Brexit Party, which got almost double the number of votes of Labour, who took the third.

That gap is "significant", according to Dr Chris Fear, a lecturer in politics and international relations at the University of Hull.

BBC correspondent Fergus Hewison said: "It shows the mood in the region is predominantly in favour of Brexit."

This election is not just a comment on the EU - it also reflects public opinion on the state of British politics, according to Georgia Roberts of BBC Westminster.

She said: "The main question here is just how much are we seeing a potential demise of the two party political system we have got so used to in this country.

"Many are saying that this election is going to be the beginning of a more entrenched system of rejecting the mainstream parties of Labour and the Conservatives in favour of newer, smaller ones."

Sunderland is keeping its reputation for being full of fast counters (they like to be the first to return results in the General Elections).

They are the first count in England to return a result, with three seats for the North East.

Two have gone to the Brexit Party and one to Labour.

Labour had previously held two and UKIP one.
