It really is all hands on board when Sky get sports reporter Martha Kelner reporting from the Stoke count.


and Nick Powell in Wakefield too


That is a shock, an actual Sky Sports employee helping out a sister channel on election night. Martha is a Sky News employee hired to do sports stories from a news perspective.

And in corporate synergy corner, the first instance I’m aware of of CNBC using Sky’s correspondents. Jon Craig doing a live report a few minutes ago.

TBH he's actually doing a great job and a real asset surprisingly


Agreed, he's been fantastic. I think it's safe to say Sky will want the Dermot, Beth and Bercow line-up again.

ITV has live pictures of Jeremy Corbyn arriving at his count result in Islington.

Gave up on the BBC, finding it easier to follow results as they come in on Sky.

BBC lots of talking heads but missing the results as they come in.

ITV had Tracy McGee, who is part of UTV Live, giving the latest reports from the count centre in Belfast. She did imply that a confirmed result will be coming soon from Nigel Dodds constituency in Belfast but it's not looking good for him. The DUP is saying tonight that he will lose his seat. So that could be interesting.

Part of Tom Bradby's head nearly disappeared with the camera angle in studio.

Not sure it was necessary for Dermot Murnaghan to cut Beth Rigby off mid sentence now for the top of the hour. Timings for that kind of stuff should be flexible on an election night.

Have the BBC given up on actually announcing results in this? Hasn't been a declaration aired in about an hour now
