"But early days at the count," he adds.

Earlier predictions have been inconclusive as to whether the Greens stand a chance of taking the north Herefordshire seat.
The Green party made North Herefordshire one of its four target seats to win nationally.
The result of the count and declaration is expected between 4am and 5am, at the same time as the south Herefordshire result.
In south Herefordshire, Ipsos says the result is "too close to call" at this stage, with Conservative's Jesse Norman and Labour's Joe Emmett both standing a chance of winning the seat.
