Vernon Coaker lost Gedling after 22 years to Conservative Tom Randall - by just 679 votes.

Mr Coaker said there were a number of factors at play: "Jeremy Corbyn was brought up on the doorstep on a number of occasions. Brexit was obviously an issue.

"Also some people felt the Labour Party had to find a way to reconnect with traditional communities.

"But at the end of the day we stood for what we believed in. We fell just short but it was a privilege to do that."

Labour has lost three seats in Nottinghamshire, one held for 84 years, to the Conservatives.

Rory Palmer, Labour MEP for the East Midlands, has tweeted about the "sorry mess" of his party's culture.

He explained that anyone who voiced concerns about Jeremy Corbyn's leadership was "shouted down", "insulted" and told to "get out" of the party.

Mark Fletcher, who took Bolsover from Dennis Skinner and the Labour Party, was generous to his rival in his acceptance speech.

He said: "He has served this seat with distinction and has been a wonderful constituency MP."

The news that Dennis Skinner has lost his seat after 49 years is get lots of attention on Facebook.

Peter Earnshaw wrote: "As a Conservative voter I will be sorry to see Dennis leaving the house. A great Parliamentarian and probably the most straight-up and honourable MP in the Commons."

John McHugh commented: "Can’t believe Dennis Skinner has lost his seat. Hang your heads in shame Bolsover."

Mr Skinner had faced ill health during the campaign and was not present at the count.

Anne Paisley said: "Dennis Skinner has been a brilliant MP, I have a lot of respect for him I hope you have a lovely retirement and get well soon."

Andrea Evans described it simply as the "end of an era."

But not everyone was supportive. Chris Hudson said: "Not exactly a shock is it. Move on people, the past is the past, coal mining was never going to make it in the future.

"Stop living in the past. You get enough of that after Brexit when the shelves are empty and we're washing in the river!"

Former Bassetlaw MP John Mann, the government's independent adviser on anti-Semitism, is having a bit of fun at the expense of ex-Derby North MP Chris Williamson.

Mr Williamson, who was banned from standing for the Labour Party following an anti-Semitism row, stood as an independent and got just 635 votes.

Lord Mann had little sympathy...

I've asked Labour activists in Ashfield which has been the harder sell on the doorstep in this 70% Leave voting area - a second referendum or Jeremy Corbyn? The answer has always been the latter.

Even Natalie Fleet, the Labour candidate, agreed - saying they had lots of problems on the campaign trail but Corbyn cropped up the most.

The Conservative winner here, Lee Anderson, is a sign of what has happened to the Labour vote, as 18 months ago he was a Labour councillor who then defected.

He cited the party's move to the left and, as he put it, the takeover by the Jeremy Corbyn and Momentum group.

In one person you have a snapshot of what has happened to Labour here and across Nottinghamshire.

The veteran Labour MP had held the seat for 49 years but lost by more than 5,000 votes.

Every seat across Leicestershire remains unchanged but Conservative candidates take votes from Labour.

Labour held the three Leicester seats - but with a reduced majority everywhere.

The Leicester East Labour vote slipped by 16.2%, in Leicester West by 11.1% and by 6.5% in Leicester South.

In the county, Loughborough, where Jane Hunt (pictured) replaced Nicky Morgan and a potential banana skin for the Tories, actually saw a small increase of 1.3% in their vote.

She managed to build on Nicky Morgan’s majority.

There are new MPs in Alicia Kearns in Rutland and Melton, and of course back in Leicester with Claudia Webbe.

So we saw in most of the county – Charnwood, Harborough, Bosworth, Leicestershire South and Leicestershire North West – increases in the Tory vote of about 3%.

Only Rutland and Melton had a - tiny - fall in Tory support. Maybe some people were not happy to see Sir Alan Duncan go but there was a little gain there for both pro-Remain parties.

And now their are female MPs in our area, up from two.

With all 32 East Midlands seats declared, here's a round up of election night Labour's prominence in the region is now confined to eight seats, in comparison to the Tories' 24.

The Conservatives have caused much upset for Labour across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, with six gains in traditional mining areas.

In Derbyshire, Labour stalwart Dennis Skinner, 87, lost his seat, which he had held since 1970, to Mark Fletcher.

Labour also lost Derby North, which has been the centre of controversy after former Labour MP Chris Williamson was suspended from the party over a row about anti-Semitism.

Labour's former High Peak MP Ruth George also lost her seat.

In Nottinghamshire Labour also lost Bassetlaw, which had been red since 1935.

The former mining constituency is not a traditional Tory ground, but a strong contingent of Leave voters and the departure of former Labour MP John Mann helped sway Bassetlaw to the Tories.

The Tories also took Gedling, which had been held by Labour stalwart Vernon Coaker since 1997.

The final Labour seat to fall was Ashfield, another mining town that was taken by former Labour activist-turned Tory candidate Lee Anderson.

In Leicestershire no seats changed hands but newly elected Leicester East MP Claudia Webbe had a significantly reduced majority in comparison to former MP Keith Vaz.

Alicia Kearns became the new Conservative MP for Rutland and Melton, replacing Sir Alan Duncan, who had sat in the constituency since 1992.

And finally in Rushcliffe, voters got a new MP for the first time in 49 years.

Ruth Edwards retained the constituency for the Conservatives after Ken Clarke announced he was stepping down from the Commons.

Sarah Dines has been elected MP for Derbyshire Dales, holding the seat for the Tories with an increased majority.

The new MP beat Labour's Claire Raw by 17,381 votes, bettering the 14,327 majority of her predecessor, Sir Patrick McLoughlin, who announced his retirement in October.

Robert Court of the Liberal Democrats came third and the Green Party's Matt Buckler came fourth.
