No. It was live.
Sky News is giving weather details in the Middle East. ![]() I think I'll stick with LBC until the declaration takes place, then switch to TV. Surely that would be live? It's very strange that there is so little coverage of this anywhere. |

I keep flicking between stations and am ending up getting BBC World News and CBS on Sky.

Did she think she was going to Ascot rather than a 3am election count?! ![]() Even the tv stations havent put the result on screen as they couldn't hear it. Tories clear win, UKIP second, Lib Dems just ahead of Labour. So Labour drop from 2nd to 4th since 2015. |

I think the returning officer spent all the budget on her hat rather than on rne sound system. Did no one test it?

Well done to UKIP for coming in second.

Interesting shift in Lib Dem vote. It's far from a liberal area but to get their vote up again is good for them. Many had them down and out in 2015. Labour are going the same way in England as they did in Scotland.

Pro brexit stronghold returns pro-brexit majority! Will the media be as amazed as Richmond? I guess no, this will be largely ignored.

May should be happy. UKIP is going nowhere, and Leave voters don't seem too unhappy with what she's doing - while she's not losing votes to Remain . At least not with the 50% of the 2015 turn out who turned out now. |

Labour have had a poor result. UKIP can brag about their first 2nd place position in the constituency but may have been hoping to be closer to the Tories, for whom it's business as usual. Encouraging signs for the Lib Dems, who were closer to UKIP than I thought they would be.
I wonder where the Lincolnshire Independent's votes would have gone had she not stood. |

Lib Dems nearly doubled their vote share, albeit on a low turnout and following a complete disaster in 2015. They're definitely on their way back.
