GB News’ Deputy Political Editor Tom Harwood reflected on a “remarkable” and “deeply unusual” General Election this morning.
The presenter has been working through the night to bring viewers and listeners the latest news and analysis as votes were counted and the winners were announced.
In an exclusive video for GB News members, Tom said: “I’m coming up to my last little bit on television of the whole evening. Is it evening? It’s morning. I’ve been up all night looking at these results.
“And what a remarkable election it’s been. I have to say, the whole team here has been powered by Red Bull and hope. But we’ve basically made it through.
“These results have been coming in thick and fast.
“The country has changed. The map has gone from largely blue to largely red, but there are so many interesting nuggets underneath that information.
“And I’ve got to say, following it throughout the night, you see the extraordinary moments, like when Iain Duncan Smith, against all odds, kept his seat, or when Jonathan Ashworth, against all odds, lost his.
“There have been twists and turns throughout a deeply unusual night, and although the broad picture matches what polls have said, I think there’s been a surprise for everyone along the way.
“Who’d have thought that five pro-Gaza independents would have been elected?
“Four reform MPs, perhaps five. One more potential seat still to go for green MPs as well. Two from the Tories, two from more Labour areas.

“I think it’s been a remarkable evening. It’s been a privilege to be through it all of the night.
“As I say, just one more time on television to look through all of that and then I get some sleep. But I’m back in the evening to do it all over again.”
