See how seats change hands
Our graphic below will show how the make up of the North East changes overnight.
Before the election, the Conservatives held 12 seats, and Labour held 18.
Due to boundary changes the region now has 28 seats instead of 30. Those two seats lost belonged to Labour, as shown on the graphic.
As the night goes on and seats may begin to change hands, the lines will diverge to show where seats have swapped between parties.
