The last constituency to declare is usually one for which there's been more than one recount or some other issue

Northern Ireland has been counting overnight in general elections since 2010 - and are usually all wrapped up by 6am so the last to declare isn’t there

Yes, thought NI used to count on Fridays but had since switched to overnight.
Seems to be very little interest in tonights head to head debate - it's quite a way down the headlines on most sites. From a pres point of view perhaps the most interesting thing is Clive and Laura's election night partnership is being tested in a follow up to the debate at 9.30pm.

What was the reason they did them on the Friday, security?
Anyway, here's a list of estimated declaration times. If it all goes according to the list they'll be wrapped up by 7am. I can understand why some of the Scottish ones are near the end, but not why the two Ilfords are last

Yes the BBC are doing their best to big it up, presenting the ‘Six’ from the location and Chris Mason suggesting these debates are a major moment ‘in front of millions’
I think what with it being the 400th debate this month, up against Euros action, I think it might struggle

Seems to be somebody shouting in the background of the BBC Prime Minister Election Debate from Nottingham University? Someone on a megaphone or something happening outside/protesters? Not sure?

Yes, if they don’t sort it out I’m going to have to switch off. Makes it hard to focus on what is being said

On a wide shot earlier, which they’ve now stopped showing, I think I saw some Palestine flags outside
Would have been better doing it in a TV studio

Hecklers? Protestors? It is actually making me anxious watching this...
You would have thought they would have considered this or stopped this from happening.
