00:05He said that because of the incredibly close proximity of the two parties, it's been agreed there will be a full recount.
00:13And he said they will give us updates as we go along.
00:16So that process will now begin and we will just have to wait and see.
00:20But we're hearing, we heard four votes in it and we've now heard apparently those four votes were to reform.
00:27So if that were to be the final tally, it would be reform that would win.
00:32But of course, we'll now go to the recount and we will see exactly what happens at the end of that.
00:39Four votes and reform ahead by just four votes.
00:43What a tantalising prospect for Nigel Farage, who may or may not turn up to the count,
