European election results: live blog

Stay tuned for live coverage of the European election results, and their aftermath, from 2100.

2057, JGF: Harriet Harman is seated in the BBC studio. She really has been a trooper for the Labour party in the last few days.

2058, PH: Just before the results come in, it’s worth noting that turnout was 43 percet – a record low for Euro elections.

2059, JGF: The rumour reaching me is that projections show that Labour will finish third behind UKIP.

2100, PH: Sky showing dramatic footage of police clashing with anti-fascist campaigners trying to enter the Town Hall in Manchester.  Nick Griffin is there.

2103, PH:
Fraser’s on Sky, folks.  Tune in, but don’t leave Coffee House!

2106, PH: The debate on Sky is whether we’ll see a BNP victory anywhere – Manchester seems like the most likely place.

2111, JGF: If that projection I mentioned earlier is right then, like everything else so far in this leadership crisis, the result is neither one thing nor the other.
