Watch: Toby Perkins ‘delighted’ to be re-elected as Labour dominates in Derbyshire

Labour have so far taken 401 seats nationally, leaving the Conservatives far behind with just 108 Members of Parliament so far - as 36 seats are yet to be assigned.

Derbyshire followed suit with absolute domination by Labour who so far have not lost a single seat across the county - winning the Erewash, Amber Valley, High Peak, Bolsover, Chesterfield, North East Derbyshire, South Derbyshire and Derby North and South seats.

As expected, in Chesterfield Toby Perkins has had a comfortable win defeating Ben Flook of the Conservative by over 10, 000 votes.

Mr Perkins, who has been an MP for Chesterfield since 2010, said: “I’m delighted with the result and it’s a great time for me to be a Member of Parliament.

"Now for the first time, I have the opportunity to be a Member of Parliament with the Labour government and that will make a real difference to us here in Chesterfield. It’s a really exciting result for me and I can’t wait to hear the rest of the results.”
