John Healey told SKY he's expecting a Labour share similar to 2010 GE.
BNP and Respect apparently in battle for third place.

Apparently a rumour that the LibDems could come SEVENTH Not that surprising when you consider how badly the LDs did in Barnsley Central when that was only 10 months after the coalition was formed. They're a lot more unpopular now than then. If we had a Barnsley Central by-election today they'd probably get 500 votes instead of 1,000. |

Conflicting reports about the Tories - some saying they may have lost their deposit, others denying this.

Declaration in 10 minutes apparently.
Agents called for provisional results.
Sarah Champion has arrived with the usual round of applauses from Labour activists.

BNP will beat UKIP. There is no way nearly 4k votes from 2010 will all vanish. On top of that the BNP candidate is the only actual person from the area. None of the others are from the area and are just imported career politicians. Come in nord, would you like to comment on your prediction. |

From Jon Craig at Sky on Twitter: Early predictions from sources at Rotherham count are a Labour win by about 2,000, UKIP 2nd & Respect possibly 3rd. Tories losing deposit?|That sounds like expectations management now. |

Objectively a poor result, but will quite happily take it given the circumstances.

Despite the UKIP surge, the Labour vote share was actually still up slightly. Tories and Lib Dems collapsed, BNP down slightly too. Respect save their deposit and beat the Tories in what would have been a decent result if they hadn't spent the last few weeks ramping up their hopes of victory...

English Democrats are doing surprisingly well now, following on from the PCC elections. How have they managed this? Have they had the backing of someone wealthy to boost their campaign resources? Incredibly bad LibDem result. |

Incredibly bad LibDem result. Part of it may be down to the candidate? He has done very well here in the past in different colours... Percentage shares and changes: Lab 46.3 (+1.7) UKIP 21.8 (+15.9) BNP 8.5 (-1.9) Res 8.3 (from nowhere) Con 5.4 (-11.3) Ed 3.3 (from nowhere) Copley 2.7 LD 2.1 (-13.9) TUSC 1.2 (from nowhere) Dickson 0.2 Bristow (EDL) 0.1  |

At least this shows that the UKIP vote is mainly gathered from the anti politics people and Toiries. |
