With the fate of dozens of Conservative ministers on a knifes-edge, including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and chancellor Jeremy Hunt, results in individual constituencies matter now more than ever.

Early results include Rachel Reeves, the shadow chancellor, and Bridget Phillipson, the shadow education secretary, being the first two senior Labour figures to be returned to parliament, winning in Leeds West and Pudsey and Sunderland South respectively.
Lee Anderson, meanwhile, has become Reform UK’s first elected MP, retaining his Ashfield seat.
