Thumping Labour GAIN from Con in Plymouth Sutton. 6,002 majority.
Ruth Davidson being interviewed now.
If she was an MP sheād be in pole position to be the next Tory leader.
Sheās singlehandedly saved whatever bacon the Tories have left.

Knives out for May already, Anna Soubry Cons MP says she should consider her position.
Tories have apparently gained Mansfield from Labour. First time Labour havenāt held the seat in nearly 100 years.
Self-styled pro-Remain āmoderate conservativeā Anna Soubry has held on by the skin of her teeth in Broxtowe.
Calls for May to āconsider her positionā.
Labour GAIN Brighton Kemptown on a massive swing with a 15k majority.
Tory source says May 50-50 to go.
The Battle of Hastings could be about to finally end.

Enfield Southgate, Portilloās old seat, is red again.
Lab gain Keighley by 249.
Derbyshire North East goes the other way, red to blue.
Lib Dem GAIN from Tories in Oxford West and Abingdon.
Tories/DUP arrangement looks inevitable now on a projected 328 seats combined.
Labour projection 262.
That Tory/DUP arrangement could be easily eroded within a short time.
Labour are now revitalised and the Blairites will have no option but to row in behind Corbyn in a newly-united party now.
Expect Ed Miliband, Yvette Cooper, Clive Lewis etc. to return to a beefed up front bench.
For a short while tonight it looked like PM Corbyn was a possibility but we could be looking at it before too long anyway as this parliament is unlikely to have a long lifespan.
Tonight has been a disaster for the Tories and the next couple of years promises to be car crash.
Brexit negotiations will surely have to be put back now.
Farage will re-enter the scene and who knows what effect thatās going to have. UKIP have been humiliated under Al Murray the pub landlord.
PM Davis is my bet.
Boris Johnson, Philip Hammond and David Davis all refusing to talk to BBC, says Dimbo.
In a remarkable coincidence @Sidney throws in the towel and hits the sack at exactly the same WET as Trump was projected winner on the morning of November 9.
And we fell just short of 270 again.

Other than sterling down a bit, the markets donāt seem to give a shit. Complete waste of time. What a fucking knucklehead this May is, as out of touch and lacking in charisma as Clinton.
Jeffrey Donaldson Minister for Education?
Nigel Dodds Minister for Culture?
Sammy Wilson Minister for the Environment, anyone?
