AT THE COUNT: Thurrock MP Andrew Mackinlay.
THURROCK MP Andrew Mackinlay was among the interested onlookers as the count progressed in Thurrock.
With the first result of the evening still some time away, he did however, sense a mood swing in favour of the BNP, something he regarded as of concern.
The MP said: "It's worrying the BNP are doing relatively well but it's still early and very difficult to make an assessment and I haven't been around all the tables yet.
"The organisation has been first class."
