Initial predictions for Sittingbourne and Sheppey

Transcript

00:00OK, well, we're going to head over now to Sittingbourne and Sheppey.

00:04Gorda Henderson's seat, and it's looking to stay Conservative.

00:08Joe Crosley from Kent Online is there now.

00:11Joe, what's it like where you are?

00:13Yeah, atmosphere's really good at the moment.

00:16Everybody's a little bit nervous, obviously.

00:18Just had a lovely chat with Gordon, as you mentioned there.

00:22And he's saying he's never confident with these sorts of things.

00:27Even in 2019, when he had a 24,000 majority, he wasn't confident.

00:32But other than that, everybody's sort of settling in.

00:35The posts, the votes even, sorry, they're all coming in.

00:42And yeah, it's all kind of starting to get underway here.

00:46Joe, thank you very much.

00:47Just a waiting game, isn't it?

00:49But I'm sure we'll hear from you in the coming hours as well

00:52and see how that picture develops.

00:54But thank you very much for the update there.

00:57Much quieter count compared to the others, I must say.

00:59It seems to be very bustling at all the others,

01:03all the different mics that we're picking up here this evening.

01:06What from the exit poll here in Kent do you think is not incorrect,

01:12but perhaps could sway?

01:15Interestingly, Sittingbourne and Sheppey,

01:18I'm really interested in how reform goes there,

01:20because there'll be a big vote there.

01:23It's predicted that the Tories will keep hold of it

01:26with Ayesha Khatibat, who's Gordon Henderson's replacement.

01:31So I'll be interested to see how that pans out and how close that is.
