Today, the United Kingdom goes to the polls to elect a new Parliament. Polls closed at 5 PM ET, but different seats will report at different times. The first results are expected between 6-7 PM ET, with more seats coming in 7-10 PM, with a deluge of seats coming in starting around 10 PM. Unlike in the U.S. where individual precincts report, the results of the entire constituency come in at once. You can find a comprehensive list of UK election resources

Thu May 07, 2015 at 9:15 PM PT (dwb115): The UUP have gained a seat from Sinn Fein, which combined with DUP's pickup of an Alliance seat means Cameron will likely have 10 Northern Irish Unionists to work with in the next parliament.
Thu May 07, 2015 at 9:19 PM PT (dwb115): More Lib Dem losses, as the Tories take Hazel Grove and Yeovil, the latter seen as one of their safest seats.
Thu May 07, 2015 at 9:21 PM PT (dwb115): Charles Kennedy, a former leader of the Liberal Democrats, loses to the SNP.
Thu May 07, 2015 at 9:26 PM PT (dwb115): Miliband wins his seat and gives what is essentially a concession speech. Meanwhile Labour loses Bolton West to the Tories, a fifth Labour seat lost to the Tories.
Thu May 07, 2015 at 9:32 PM PT (dwb115): The trend continues as Labour gains Birmingham Yardley from the Lib Dems while the Tories take Plymouth Moor View from Labour.
Thu May 07, 2015 at 9:38 PM PT (David Jarman): One more Conservative pickup, this one in Portsmouth South from Mike Hancock, a Lib Dem turned independent with, well, a wide variety of personal problems, ranging from complaints of indecent assault to employing aides accused of espionage.
Thu May 07, 2015 at 9:41 PM PT (David Jarman): Here's a rare beast: one more pickup by Labour, from the Tories, and this one's not even in London. They pick up Wolverhampton South West.
Thu May 07, 2015 at 9:43 PM PT (David Jarman): The punishment just continues for the Lib Dems. They lose Somerton & Frome to the Tories, and they lose Bradford East to Labour. (Neither one much of a surprise, at this point.)
Thu May 07, 2015 at 9:49 PM PT (David Jarman): The Tories hold Witney, not surprising, since that's David Cameron's seat. However, they also just held Blackpool North and Cleveleys, which had been considered one of the likelier Labour pickups.
Thu May 07, 2015 at 9:51 PM PT (David Jarman): Two more Tory pickups from the smoldering remains of the Lib Dems: Thornbury and Yate, and the long-time LD stronghold of North Cornwall.
