(32 minutes later)
We're still waiting on results from the West Midlands - but Labour think Richard Parker has won it. So who is he? Nick Eardley
Parker is the son of a docker and school secretary who left school at 16. Political correspondent
In 1989, he joined accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers and managed their relationship with the Labour Party for five years, before leaving to start a firm working with small and medium-sized companies and social enterprises. The West Midlands result is a blow for the Conservatives. So what does it mean for the prime minister?
He has described his move into politics as the "most important thing I've done in my life". I’ve just asked a source close to Tory rebels. Their answer: "We’re still in the pub."
Before the election, he pledged to bring the region's buses under public control and revamp its high streets. The context: they appear to have decided yesterday that despite the results, they weren’t going to try to bring down the PM. Instead, they went to the pub.
He has also said he wants to create 150,000 extra jobs, tackle crime, and crack down on rogue landlords. I suppose it is a Bank Holiday weekend.
