Election updates will appear here from 22:00hrs.  Once we are up and running please refresh the page every 2-3 minutes.

The first region to declare is expected to be North East England, as early as 22:15 depending on turnout and an orderly count.  The region is currently represented by two Labour MEPs and one Brexit Party.  If Labour loses one of its seats to the Brexit Party this could suggest a nationwide landslide will follow.

Yorkshire and South West England are likely to be the second and third declarations, any time after 23:00.  The remaining regions will hopefully declare by 03:00, with the exception of Scotland (declaring mid morning on Monday) and Northern Ireland (declaring on Tuesday).
