Turning back to Manchester where we can now bring you the latest from newly elected mayor Andy Burnham. Professor Sir John Curtice
He starts by saying Greater Manchester has always prided itself on "solidarity between its people" and says he will continue to reject the "politics of division and culture wars". Polling expert
The Labour mayor goes on to thank voters who usually support other parties but lent him their support in this election, saying he will adopt a "place first, not party first, approach". With 11 of the 14 mayoral constituencies in London declared, we are now estimating that Sadiq Khan will win 44% of the vote and Susan Hall 33%.
Burnham commits to seeing through his transport reforms in this mayoral term and calls for more powers over welfare and housing.
He says it is hard to "keep Greater Manchester moving forwards while the country is moving backwards".
I am ready to fight harder than I have ever fought for anything before, for a Greater Manchester where people can live free from the fear of debt, hunger and eviction, and where everyone is set up to benefit from the growing success of our city region today."
