Labour have secured their first win of the night, with shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson holding on to Houghton and Sunderland South. Ms Phillipson increased her majority to over 7,000, as the party hoped for similar results across the country. But it was also the first blow for the Conservatives, who were pushed into second place by Reform UK - their rivals winning 11,668 votes compared to just 5,514 for the Tories.
Labour's deputy leader - and possibly the next deputy prime minister - Angela Rayner told Sky News that Sir Keir had 'done a tremendous job in transforming the Labour Party and putting forward a programme for government that the country can get behind'. The Liberal Democrats are also looking likely to have a strong night, going from 11 seats to 61 in the poll, while the SNP could fall to as few as 10 seats - swapping with the Lib Dems as the third largest party.
