My blearry eyed round up of the results in Newark tonight for @BJTC_UK!
Fantastic to be at such close race, talking to candidates from across the political spectrum and to meet and talk to experienced political journalists. Hopefully the first of many!

Silence falls at Labour’s watch party ahead of @Keir_Starmer speech - tension of moment broken by Neil Kinnock laughing that “it’s like being in church, I think I should sing.”

A clip from my interview with the Reform candidate in Newark about the potential outcome. Robert Palmer says they expect the party has come third in tonight's ballot.

It's busy here in Newark reporting for @BJTC_UK with counting well under way. Still looking like it is going to be close between the Conservatives and Labour. Polls suggesting Robert Jenrick may just edge it, but it is still too close to call!

Don’t want to make people feel old but most of the @BJTC_UK journalism students reporting tonight were aged 4-7yrs old the last time there was a Labour government…./1
I'm reporting for the @BJTC_UK and @ITVCentral from Newark tonight for #GeneralElection2024
It looks like it is going to be a close race between the Conservative's Robert Jenrick and Labour's Saj Ahmad!
