Good morning. I see that it's not Tory-geddon but looking hung-ish...

CLIVE EFFORD (Labour) HAS HELD HIS ELTHAM SEAT.

Scroll further down for figures.

 Some other local headlines:

08.05am: Jo Johnson wins Orpington

What a swing - maybe the celebrity factor played a part. BNP candidate Tess Culnane received 1,241 votes - oh dear oh dear. I shouldn't think she's on course to be Mayor of Lewisham where she also stood - those results later.
