Nick Clegg 'loses seat' amid Liberal Democrat slump in Sheffield Hallam
Nick Clegg has lost his Sheffield Hallam constituency after failing to fight off a Labour surge, Liberal Democrat sources have told The Telegraph.
The former Deputy Prime Minister looks set to be the first high-profile figure to be ousted of the night, having not defended his slender majority of 2,353.
The ardent Remainer stepped down from the Liberal Democrat leadership after the party's poor result at the 2015 General Election, following five years of coalition government with the Conservatives.
Tonight's exit poll suggests the Liberal Democrats are set to modestly increase their number of seats.
