That's it from me after a somewhat busy few hours, but before I go here's a quick rundown of the thrills and spills we've had in Lincolnshire as the general election results flowed in:

• Lincoln is now an island of red in a sea of blue after Karen Lee clinched the seat for Labour
• The Conservative MPs who've been re-elected in our region have all gained increased majorities
• UKIP leader Paul Nuttall has announced his resignation at a press conference in Boston after coming third in the constituency

Labour's success in Lincoln has been put down in part to the number of young people coming out to vote.

Lincoln has a large number of university students and we asked young people in the city what persuaded them to vote:

A 20-year-old man has died after the car he was driving came off the road at Londonthorpe near Grantham and overturned.

It happened at about 22:35 yesterday night on High Road, police say.

A 19-year-old local man who was a passenger in the car was taken to Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham where he remains in a very serious condition.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information is being asked to get in touch with police.

Lincolnshire's mental health services have been rated "good" by a national health watchdog.

The Care Quality Commission report, external follows an inspection carried out in April which said services at Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust required improvement overall.

The latest report says supervision and maintenance of patient records still need improving though, and demand on beds and acute care remain high - reflecting national pressures.

But, safety, caring and responsive staff and leadership are all rated good, the report says.

Karen Lee, Lincoln's new Labour MP, also happens to be a nurse at Lincoln County Hospital.

She's preparing to take her seat at Westminster after having pushed out Conservative Karl McCartney.

Despite this, she says she hopes she can still do some nursing shifts as well as carrying out her duties as the city's new MP.

Ms Lee says: "I would really like to carry on, perhaps doing the odd bank shift and keep my registration current. I had to work very hard to be a nurse and I enjoy being a nurse."

There were extra officers on duty at election counts across the country last night.

These officers were on patrol at the Guildhall in Hull:

And there were armed officers on duty at the count in Boston:

A teenager who murdered her mother and sister said she killed her mum because they 'never got on'.

The couple believed to be Britain's youngest double murderers have been named, after a judge lifted a ban on identifying them.

Kim Edwards and her boyfriend Lucas Markham murdered Edwards' mother Elizabeth, 49, and her younger sister Katie, 13, at their home in Spalding, Lincolnshire, in April 2016.

The killers, who were 14 at the time, were both jailed in November.

A bid to stop their names being made public was rejected in the High Court.

Paul Nuttall has conceded defeat both as UKIP's leader and as candidate for the Boston and Skegness constituency where he came third in the general election.

Resigning his post as leader of the party, this is some of what Mr Nuttall had to say:

There'll be more than 207 women in this parliament following the general election, outnumbering the 196 women elected in 2015.

About 30% of general election candidates were women this year - up from the previous record of 26% in 2015.

One of those women is Karen Lee, who's won the Lincoln seat for Labour by beating Conservative Karl McCartney into second place:

More on the news that UKIP leader Paul Nuttall's announced at a press conference in Boston, Lincolnshire, that he's resigning his post.

He says the party's been a victim of its own success.

He came third in Boston and Skegness.

Mr Nuttall says: "We forced the referendum and we helped win Brexit and some people mistakenly think our job is done but it's not.

"What a hubristic, foolish and politically naive election to call. It has put our Brexit at risk."

Paul Nuttall has resigned as the leader of UKIP after his party failed to gain a single seat in Westminster.

He stood for election in the Boston and Skegness constituency and came third.

Andrew Percy has held his seat for the Conservatives in Brigg and Goole, but he says the results for the party nationally are "sad".

He says: "I've supported Theresa May from day one. I think it's very sad, actually, that the results are as they have been.

"The people of this country voted to leave the European Union and the idea that somebody like Jeremy Corbyn would be negotiating for us is just dangerous."
