3.00am. The count is still underway. The result not declared. But the Lib Dems are claiming victory in Tiverton and Honiton. Helen Hurford is reported to have locked herself in a room to avoid the media.

Looks like I'm going to need a bigger hammer 🟦🔨 👀

🚨 Lib Dems declare victory in Tiverton and Honiton. Wiping out a huge 24k vote majority – the biggest ever over-turned in a by-election.

A spokesperson said: “This is looking like a clear win. The people of Tiverton and Honiton have spoken up for the country."
