Nick Clegg holds Sheffield seat
Nick Clegg holds Sheffield Hallam with 22,215 votes to Labour’s 19,862.
He is booed as he takes the stage for his victory speech.
He says it is now “painfully clear that this is a painful and punishing night for the Lib Dems”.
The Lib Dem leader hints at the future of his position as leader. He says he has further remarks to say about that position later this morning when he speaks to his Lib Dem colleagues.
