Good morning and welcome to a BBC Look North election | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
Labour wins the city's seat from the Conservatives | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
as Karl McCartney loses in a bad night for the Tories. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Absolutely thrilled and overjoyed. Really pleased to be representing | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
the city I was born in and representing my party. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
The UKIP leader is shown the door in Boston as the conservative Matt | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
We get early reaction to the night's results | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
I'm very pleased because I went out to vote Labour. Got it, because | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
Theresa May in my eyes is a strong leader. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
And after a comfortable win in East Yorkshire, | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
Sir Greg Knight promises more of this. | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
We are live in Lincoln today for this special programme with a | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
dramatic election night because the Conservatives have lost the linking | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
constituency to Labour. Karl McCartney, who has been an MP in | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
this city for the last seven years, is out the job this morning. The new | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
MP is Karen Lee and we will speak to her live in a moment. Elsewhere in | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Lincolnshire, other scenes -- seats changed hands but there were plenty | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
of other dramatic moments, including Paul Nuttall's failure to win | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
Skegness. This was the moment Labour | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
supporters realised they'd snatched Tory Karl McCartney had represented | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
the city for the past seven years, But he had nothing to say to local | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
journalists as he left. He'll now make way for | :01:58. | :02:07. | |
a Karen Lee - a local councillor and nurse | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
at Lincoln County hospital. I've been so, so appalled at some | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
of the things I see in Lincoln, things like food banks | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
and the poverty in Lincoln, and I just think we've had a glimpse | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
of hope and the Labour Party have been doing well tonight | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
and we've won Lincoln, so hopefully I can take Lincoln | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
forward in a much more positive way. There were also Labour | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
celebrations in Grimsby, where Melanie Onn was re-elected | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
in a constituency that was heavily I didn't look at the bookies, | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
to be perfectly honest. I knew it would be a tough | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
campaign and we would have to work incredibly hard, | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
so that's what we've done and we've had so many volunteers help us | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
and make sure we kept Grimsby Labour, so I'm | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
absolutely delighted. Relief too for Nic Dakin | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
who retained Scunthorpe for Labour - another seat earmarked | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
by the Tories. However, in Boston and Skegness, | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Conservative Matt Warman saw a big increase in his majority as UKIP's | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
leader Paul Nuttall, who stood as the party's candidate, | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
was pushed into third place. Mr Nuttall left the count | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
and refused to give interviews. But Conservative Martin Vickers, | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
who was re-elected in Cleethorpes, admitted the party had made mistakes | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
during the campaign. Perhaps we allowed our opponents | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
to set too much of the agenda, We didn't talk positively about | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
what we've achieved in the economy. Labour won all three seats | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
in Hull with big majorities and voters elected another | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
new face to parliament. Emma Hardy a former teacher who will | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
represent Hull West and Hessle. And we are joined live in Lincoln | :03:31. | :03:43. | |
this morning by Karen Lee MP. How does that sound? It sounds amazing. | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
Good morning. Why are you surprised to win? Not surprised. But it was | :03:53. | :04:03. | |
very pleasing to win. We know that you are a nurse. Is that something | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
you're going continue with? It is something I will have to speak to | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
the trust about. I would like to maintain my registration if I can, | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
doing some bank shifts. A lot of people say that MPs are not in touch | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
with the real world, but he would like to continue your day job if you | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
can? If I can, yes. You talked in your campaign about losing your | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
daughter to cancer. Was that hard, bringing in something so personal? | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
Yes, it was incredibly hard. I wanted people to know that life can | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
appear -- be more difficult than it appears on the outside and to speak | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
to people about that personally. When you get to Westminster, you | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
will be sitting on those green benches and a lot of people have | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
said your leaders should step down. What will you be saying? I think he | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
had absolutely proved himself and I am not one of those people who said | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
that. I have always supported him, I think we are a joined a party and we | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
should go forward together. Had he seen up his critics? Yes, I think he | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
has. Our campaign centred on politics that we were getting | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
messages that were good back about Jeremy. If you could achieve just | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
one thing as an MP for Lincoln, what would you want it to be? Without a | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
doubt, a medical school for Lincoln said that we could train doctors | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
here and retain them here. That is your main priority? It is one | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
priority and an important one. Thank you. Let's get some more of the | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
election results now in detail and Joe is in the studio. | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
Let's have a look at the map of our area and how people voted. | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
There are 17 parliamentary constituencies here. | :06:12. | :06:12. | |
You can see the red concentration in the centre. | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
All three seats in Hull stayed Labour, with | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
Emma Hardy being elected as Alan Johnson's replacement | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
On the south bank, Grimsby and Scunthorpe remain Labour. | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
Melanie Onn and Nic Dakin were both re-elected. | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
Brigg and Goole and Cleethorpes both returned Conservative MPs again, | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
with Andrew Percy and Martin Vickers both winning again. | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
Then as we move further out into Lincolnshire, it's a sea | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
of blue, apart from, as we've been hearing, a splash | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
or red in Lincoln where Karen Lee beat Karl McCartney. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
In East Yorkshire, Graham Stuart and Sir Greg Knight are re-elected | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
And in Haltemprice and Howden, the Brexit Secretary David | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
There are lots more details on how the election | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
went in each constiuency on the BBC website. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
So, here in Lincoln, celebrations for Labour supporters | :07:05. | :07:17. | |
but the national picture looks uncertain as we get to grips | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
Our reporter Crispin Rolfe was up bright and early to talk | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
to traders and shoppers at the Freeman Street | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
Here is what they had to say about this dramatic election. | :07:28. | :07:39. | |
It was supposed to be a night for the blues. Instead, a rude awakening | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
and a red Dawn than many had predicted. At Grimsby's count, no | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
change, but as businesses and people at Freeman Street market woke up to | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
the result, what do they make of it? Hung parliament, got it. Theresa | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
May, in my eyes, is a strong leader. We need somebody strong for Brexit | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
and for terrorism and for this country. Anybody else don't cut the | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
cake for me. I think there were bad mistakes made by the Tories. Cuts to | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
sum up the benefits, especially disability. That wouldn't have gone | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
down well. I think that could have been one of the major factors. I was | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
quite surprised, actually. I thought the Conservatives would have done a | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
bit better than they have done. I'm surprised that a lot more people | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
voted for Corbyn. I can't, I don't know why. I'm very pleased because I | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
went out to vote Labour because I think the Labour Party wants the | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
best for ordinary people and the vast majority of people in this | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
country. In Grimsby, like other parts of our area except Lincoln, | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
little has changed locally, but nationally, yesterday's collection | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
has created more questions than answers, with people and businesses | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
across the comeback -- across the Humber wondering what happened to | :09:15. | :09:15. | |
strong and stable leadership. Dr Andrew Defty is a politics expert | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
from the University of Lincoln. Andrew, good morning. Come on, you | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
are a political expert. Did you see this result coming? Am, no. But lots | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
of people didn't, though I think it was less surprising than in 2015 and | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
reflect the narrowing of the polls as we moved towards the election | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
date. Are you surprised that Labour seemed to buck the trend? Yes, we | :09:52. | :10:01. | |
have two appreciate that this election was called specifically | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
because Labour were doing so tremendously badly in the polls, | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
almost an historic low, say in that sense, calling an election at this | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
time was understandable, but I think it's been a salutary reminder of the | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
importance of election campaigns are not taking voters for granted. Let's | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
look at things locally. Here in Lincoln we have seen a Labour gain | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
from the Conservatives. Why did they managed to gain Lincoln when they | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
saw Conservatives increasing their majority in other parts of | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Lincolnshire. I think we have to remember that Lincoln is a marginal | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
seat and a very marginal seat unlike all the other constituencies in | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
Lincolnshire. I think the Conservatives forgot just how much | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
at risk this seat was for them. I think also it reflect something that | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
has been going on nationally which is we have seen a swing from | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Conservatives to Labour in university towns and it also looks | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
like we have seen a high turnout among young people and we know the | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
18 to 24 demographic are much more likely to support Corbyn and labour | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
than they are to support the Conservatives. Why did the wheels | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
come off the Conservative campaign so badly? Theresa May was 20 points | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
ahead in the polls. What went wrong for her? I think the Conservatives | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
were complacent. I think there was complacency in calling an election | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
and assuming that they didn't really need to campaign. They were so far | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
ahead, they just had to sit tight and everything would be all right in | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
the end. When the polls began to narrow, Theresa May in particular | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
but the Conservative Party more generally, didn't really campaign | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
very well. She didn't change would she was doing. Didn't take pen -- | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
take place in the TV debate, Jeremy Corbyn agreed that he would, whereas | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
Theresa May adopted a bunker mentality, hunkered down and hoped | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
everything would be OK. Please stay with us. We would like more of your | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
opinions seen, but we are just going to look at another Lincolnshire | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
constituency now. The leader of UKIP, Paul Nuttall | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
suffered a heavy defeat in the Brexit capital | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
of the country, Boston and Skegness. Matt Warman has been comfortably | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
re-elected as the conservative MP. Phillip Norton's report contains | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
some flash photography. This was dubbed the Brexit capital | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
of Britain. As such, Ukip had their leader stand here, thinking it would | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
be an easy seat. This morning, in the early hours, they were proved it | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
was anything but. Paul Nuttall Bivens they have long either. He | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
turned up a few minutes before the declaration, where he found out he'd | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
finished in third place behind the Conservatives and Labour, Ukip | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
losing more than 10,000 Babesiosis the last election. And I do here by | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
declare that Robert Walden is duly elected. I think what this means for | :12:55. | :13:05. | |
Boston is five more years of conservatism that delivers on the | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
promises we talked about in the campaign. As for Ukip, Paul Nuttall | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
arrived in a media scrum, he left out the back door, saying nothing to | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
the media before getting in a car and being driven away amid questions | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
over Ukip's feature. In fact, the only person who has said anything | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
from Ukip here tonight was his press officer. Of course he will give a | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
full statement and a full update, because obviously given how this | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
election has panned out, he will give a full press conference. So | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
what you are saying is Paul Nuttall will not speak at all tonight? He | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
will make a full statement tomorrow morning. So a press conference will | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
be held by Ukip and Paul Nuttall at 10:30am here this morning and the | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Conservatives hold Boston and Skegness with an increased majority. | :13:58. | :14:08. | |
Despite being targeted by the Conservatives, Nic Dakin held | :14:09. | :14:09. | |
Andrew Percy has also been re-elected in Brigg | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
There were two counts declared here in Scunthorpe, the best for the | :14:17. | :14:27. | |
Scunthorpe seat itself, one by Nic Dakin. He held onto his seat for the | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
Labour Party and one of the biggest issues for Scunthorpe certainly is | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
the steel industry. The steelworks are back in profit and Nic Dakin | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
believes his support for the steel industry was instrumental in history | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
election. I was front and foremost championing the steel industry, not | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
only in Scunthorpe but nationally as well and I think people did see | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
that, whereas the Conservative government and Conservative council | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
were asleep at the wheel. People like myself, the trade unions, the | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
steelmakers were not. The second announcement made was for the seat | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
of Brigg and Goole, held by the Minister for the Northern | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
powerhouse, and he increased his majority. I asked him whether he was | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
-- Theresa May was right to call this negotiation -- this election? I | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
have supported Theresa May since day one and I think it's sad that the | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
results have been as they have been. The idea that somebody like Jeremy | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
Corbyn could be negotiating Brexit Boros is just dangerous. No change | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
here in Scunthorpe or Brigg and Goole. Both the MPs have held their | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
seats and both have an increased majority. | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
We are joined live now by just rasping, a first-time voter. How old | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
are you? 18. What was it like going into that polling booth for the | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
first time? Most of us feel it's a long time ago, but did you build a | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
responsibility on your shoulders? Yes, it's the fact your vote can be | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
the one that makes the difference. It's exciting to say you have the | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
power in your hands to make a difference. What issues decided the | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
way you voted? Tuition fees were a main thing and I know that's a big | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
thing for lots of other people my age because we are all going to | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
university in September and we don't want to back-up tens of thousands of | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
debt. I am guessing that you supported Labour from that? Yes, I | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
did. Is it fair that people he didn't get the benefit of a | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
university education should pay for your fees? Something you perhaps | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
haven't thought about, but that was a Labour Party policy. Turnout | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
amongst young voters in this election was high, probably in | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
places like Lincoln made difference between Labour winning or losing. | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
Why were so many young people motivated to go out and vote this | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
time? I think young people were appealed to buy labour and Jeremy | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
Corbyn. He's got his whole fan base within the party so many people have | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
joined the party mainly for him and it's just energised everyone. The | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
amount of young people my age I have seen out on the streets campaigning | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
for Nick, for Terence. It's a lot of young people. The situation now, we | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
have a hung parliament. Labour did much better than people expected but | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
they aren't going to be part of any government, it doesn't look like, at | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
the moment. How does that affect you and the issue she voted on? Well, | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
one of my main things was to do with tuition fees, so obviously if Labour | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
aren't going to get any say, that's not going to be the case, so that's, | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
I don't really know. The way things are going, we could have another | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
election before too long so you could be voting against the four U R | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
19, Jess. Thank you for your thoughts today. David Davis was | :18:07. | :18:19. | |
comfortably re-elected in his Haltemprice and Howden constituency | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
last night. The question a lot of people are asking is if he still has | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
faith in Theresa May after an election that didn't quite go the | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
Tories way. He said, eventually, at this stage, he still has faith. It | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
looks like we will be the biggest party by a significant margin at the | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
normal procedure is for the leader of the biggest party, the Prime | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
Minister, to seek to form a new government. If she can do that, we | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
carry on and present Queen 's speech. If not, it falls to the | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
leader of the next biggest party at the end of this process. That's how | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
works. That was David Davis speaking earlier. In Hull, all three of the | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
city's MPs were Labour, not a surprise that. I apologise for the | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
ban reversing into us. This is a busy part of Lincoln at this time of | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
day. Three Labour MPs in Hull. Emma Hardy becomes the new MP for Hull | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
West and Hessle, replacing Alan Johnson in that constituency. Diana | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
Johnson was re-elected in Hull North and cold: -- Karl Turner will be | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
heading back to Westminster in Hull East after he won with a increased | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
majority. All three feet in Hull stayed red, | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
no real surprise considering how well Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
has done tonight. He's not always been the most popular leader with | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
the MPs here. In fact, Karl Turner resigned from his cabinet a year | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
ago, so I asked him tonight, did he regret that resignation? Look, | :19:54. | :20:03. | |
people resign -- resigned from Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet and | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
things are very different now. The man's just probably ensure that | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Theresa May has lost the election. For goodness' sake, let me | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
congratulate the leader of the Labour Party in securing that. Would | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
you congratulate him by saying well done, you other guy for me now? I | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
would congratulate Jeremy Corbyn for putting together a brilliant | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
manifesto that is about hope over fear. Diana Johnson was re-elected | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
with an increased majority as well. She's also never been Jeremy | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
Corbyn's biggest fan, so after tonight, did she consider his | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
position to be secure? I think we are getting ahead of ourselves here. | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
We need to look at the position we are in the morning. The third seed | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
to stay Redworth Hull West and Hessle. She beat off real | :20:51. | :21:05. | |
competition from Michelle Dupree, the ex-apprentice contestant. I am | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
bitten by the bug and I will be back. We are joined live today by | :21:11. | :21:18. | |
Emma Hardy, the new Labour MP for Hull West and Hessle. | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
Congratulations on your election. What is your first job as an MP? | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
What is at the top of your entry? I think there are two things. One is | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
to secure more funding for Hull City Council because the cuts to their | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
services have been appalling. It is very crucial that we sort that out | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
there. The other thing is more funding for education, to improve | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
education here in Hull West and Hessle. Two thirds of people in Hull | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
backed Brexit. When you go to Westminster, will you support the | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
Brexit process or is it something you will try to scupper? Oh, no, not | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
at all. I have said throughout my campaign that this issue was | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
settled. This election was not a rerun of the referendum. No, I would | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
not stand in the way at all but I would be pushing for the best deal | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
for this area. Just finally, Emma, I know you were a primary school | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
teacher. Will your disciplinarian skills help you in keeping order in | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
the House of Commons? Someone else said this to me as well, that | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
exactly what we need in the House of Commons is more teachers to tell | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
some of them off, so perhaps that will come in handy. Emma Hardy, | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
thank you very much for joining us today. And we are backsliding | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
Lincoln with Doctor Andrew dug deep from the University of Lincoln. What | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
happens now, Andrew? We have a hung parliament would no one party with | :22:46. | :22:47. | |
an overall majority. What will happen for the rest of the day? We | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
don't know and it will be interesting to see if Theresa May is | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
still Prime Minister by the end of the day. We could have a formal | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
coalition of the kind we had in 2010, we could have a more informal | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
arrangement, in which two parties don't go into coalition together but | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
one agrees to support the other, probably PDU PRB conservatives, or | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
we could have someone governing as a minority government. Now, we will | :23:22. | :23:33. | |
leave you with something that was a highlight of the election campaign | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
for some. A video that everyone was talking about. | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
One of our MP's has found internet fame... | :23:41. | :23:41. | |
..because of this campaign video, featuring this tune. | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
# Make sure this time you get it right | :23:51. | :23:51. | |
# Vote for Greg Knight. # | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
Nearly 500,000 people around the world watched the video. | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
And it provoked quite a reaction. And some people even | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
Including one of the song playing again and again for 10 hours. | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
And there are also a few unofficial remixes - | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
including this one - called Greg Knight's Party Banger. | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
He's part of a band of politicians - called MP4. | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
And he played the drums on the finished song. | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
He's been re-elected to his East Yorkshire seat. | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
And he's promising to make more videos. | :24:33. | :24:33. | |
So there may be plenty more where this came from. | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
# Make sure this time you get it right. | :24:37. | :24:46. | |
That was Sarah Walton with that viral campaign video of Sir Greg | :24:47. | :24:59. | |
Knight. We will be back with BBC look now for our lunchtime | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
negotiations, I think duty calls and she will stay. Viewers are joining | :25:03. | :25:03. | |
us from around the UK. We better say goodbye, Gus, thanks | :25:04. | :25:22. | |
very much. The former Cabinet Secretary is leaving us. If you are | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
just joined us at the BBC election centre, if for some reason you | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
missed this morning's necessary or have been heavily asleep overnight. | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
Let me tell you Theresa May is still Prime Minister this morning but | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
doesn't have a majority in this new parliament. It is to be a hung | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
parliament. The prospect at the moment seems to be that MrsMay will | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
stay in power with the help of the DUP, that's not confirmed by the | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
way, that's just the way that the figures are stacking up. It's been a | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
remarkable night for Labour making a few gains. Of course the | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
Conservatives suffering losses that they never thought they would | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
suffer. We are nowhere near the solid impressive majority that so | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
many commentators and indeed some of of the polls had been suggesting for | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
the Conservatives up until that exit poll came last night. | :26:15. | :26:17. |
