Meanwhile, Labour party leader Ed Miliband is likely to announce his resignation later on Friday, according to media reports on the BBC, New Statesman and Sky News. However, a Labour party spokesperson declined comment when contacted by Sharecast saying "now was not the time for such talk." He is expected to make a public appearance at 04:30 BST.

Liberal Democrat heavyweights Simon Hughes and Jo Swinson were also defeated, a significant blow to the party.
