The nations eyes are on one Norfolk constituency being counted in King’s Lynn tonight.
Former PM Liz Truss is hoping to hold onto her seat in SW Norfolk; a seat she has held since 2010.
NW Norfolk is also being counted here. It’s been held by the Tories since 2001.

I’m in King’s Lynn reporting for the @BBC this general election.
Verification is still underway for NW Norfolk and SW Norfolk.
I’ll bring you live updates throughout the night.

The latest election prediction (from @Survation) for South West Norfolk is as follows:

This MRP projection puts Liz Truss at 30%, down a whopping 39pts from 69%. Labour’s Terry Jermy is predicted to win, by increasing their share by around 17%. The newcomers independent Bagge and Reform party likely to make up the difference.

YouGov modelling suggests the following results if a general election were to happen tomorrow.
This has limitations. It doesn’t account for Bagge standing, and assumes a Reform UK candidate will stand which isn’t confirmed.
Downhamweb’s opinion: it’s still all to play for.
