Thanking his supporters, Mr Healey said: "Each election is a reaffirmation of the fact that I work for you, I serve as you allow and I will continue speaking up for our area in parliament - campaigning to change things for the better and supporting people who need help."
In a passionate speech, Ms Champion said: "We have people sleeping rough in the centre of our town, we have food banks and a community turning in on itself and hate crime going through the roof because of the pressure they are being put underby the policies of the Tories have made. It enrages me."
Mr Barron also thanked his voters, adding: "I can't quite get my head around what's happening nationally."
UKIP's vote fell apart in the Rother Valley, with almost 10,000 voters going elsewhere.

The Tory vote surged from 10,945 to 19,939 for newcomer Bethan Eddy, while UKIP fell from 13,204 for Allen Cowles to 3,704 for Lee Hunter this time around.
Tory Bethan Eddy said afterwards: "It's amazing. I never thought, to be honest, that we'd be able to get nearly 20,000 votes in Rother Valley."
Asked if the seat could be snatched from Labour in the future, she added: "In politics today, anything is achievable."
