, one nation conservatives, one nation conservatives, for the first time.ple of london when i was elected, in what was thought of as a labour city, your hand may have quivered over the ballot paper as before you put your cross in the conservative box. and you may intend to return to labour next time around. and if that is the case, i am humbled that you've put your trust in me, and you've put your trust in me, and you've put your trust in me, and you've put your trust in us. and i and we will never ta ke trust in us. and i and we will never take your support for granted. cheering and applause. i will make it my mission to at night and day to work flat out improving your right for voting for me this time and only support in the future and i say to you in this election your voice has been heard and about time, too. because we, politicians, have squandered the last three years, 3.5 years, in squabbles about brexit. we've been arguing aboutarguing! squabbles about brexit. we've been arguing about arguing! and about the tone of our arguments! i will put an end t

the conservatives won here as well. so, what now?e to think there is some truth. trust's a big thing in politics, isn't it? because there's many an amount of them that tell a lot of lies, but fingers crossed. from the north sea to the irish sea, labour's red wall reduced to rubble. jon kay, bbc news. the conservatives did lose votes in the south of england and scotland, but these were balanced by all the gains in the rest of england and wales. labour, meanwhile, lost vote share in every nation and region across britain. my colleague reeta chakrabarti has been looking at the some of the key results in more detail. i want to show you the final score board, the state of the uk parties. and, as you can see, the conservatives having a very good night, gaining 47 seats. labour losing 59 seats. a bad night for them. and the snp also putting in a strong performance, gaining 13 seats. i want to show you, though, how the vote share changed, compared to the 2017 election, and what's so interesting here is the conservatives actually only put on

tonight it has gone conservative and sarah is the first female conservative and pn wales ever. she's done it with 45% share of the vote as compared to labor 39%, again, i want to show you the way in which the vote share has changed since 2017 and it's the same story as in peterborough. they been given the seat by the drop in the labor vote share. labor is down 10% and that's allowed sarah to become the first female conservative mp in wales. ... for decades and decades. from northern ireland's i would like to go to in a second but before that, look at this response. this is about my true labor that requires careful analysis but it could be much worse for those that rely on public services of the nhs but if you still have a leadership that fights for the many, not the few. we have a response this is from 2001 the independent unionist. this has been taken by the alliance party of northern ireland, very significant gain even on 18,358 and being beaten into second place on 15,000. 45% share of the vote and look at the percentage boost for the party of 36% in the feet but was held fo

voted conservative —— eton. never voted conservative before voted conservative -- eton.lass prisons. now there isa of middle—class prisons. now there is a real possibility in uk politics for the votes of working—class people. labour are only ever going to get back into power if they start reclaiming their northern heartland. the tories will only retain power if they keep those northern heartlands. and that is a good kind of competition to have in our electoral politics, that we haven't had before. you once wrote in the times... iam before. you once wrote in the times... i am sorry, we're going to go for a declaration. let's go straight back to huw. yes, to brighton pavilion to join the returning officer. 10,176. 13,211, labour party. lucas caroline, green party, 33,151. richard melton, brexit party, 770. citizen skwith, the official monster raving loony party, 301. brighton pavilion, i declare that caroline lucas is duly elected. the first green mp, former coleader of the green party, re—elected with a big majority. let's see what she has to say. well, a huge thank you t

that has now gone conservative. great grimsby, labour since the war, now conservative.wn by 25 points. the labour vote completely collapsing in bassetlaw and that represents a swing from labour to conservative of 18%. that is the biggest swing of the night that we saw. i want to show you one more thing, which is the different way in which the country voted depending on whether people were in strongly leave seats are strongly remain seats. as you can see, the conservatives doing well in those leave seats and labour's vote dropping sharply. but both the main parties losing share of the vote in the strongly remain seats. again, it's the difference between the two performances that is important here. the conservatives performed less badly than labour and therefore were able to pick up seats. well, you can find out much more detail on all of this, including your own results in your own constituency, all on the bbc news website. in northern ireland nationalist mp5 outnumber unionist mp5 for the first time — but it was a tough night for both the dup and sinn fein, who saw thei

we made set out to make the conservative party conservative again and we've done that.s had jeremy corbyn, this isn't good for our country. the tory party is different from the one i joined. if it is as it is now i never would have joined. regardless of the result, we are in a bad place for democracy in this country. millions of votes will be ignored, they will have no value whatsoever, and we have a hard right government in control and an official opposition that has failed to do its job, and that's not a good place.” will pause for a second because we have a result in workington, sean daly is there. what's going on? well, everybody is gathering round the tables to find out exactly how workington has voted in the final event. conservative think tank onwards identified the typical voter that boris johnson onwards identified the typical voter that borisjohnson needed to win over to break labour vote in the north and it is looking very much as if the conservative party have won here. we will find out in a minute but the labour party looking rather sombre and the conservat

i voted conservative. the family has a lwa ys voted conservative.f the world leaders. so i think we look forward to working with a country to get the economy up and going and get out of brexit. people of had enough these last three years. with the brexit swea rwo rd. last three years. with the brexit swearword. i think with brexit and everything it is absolute rubbish. causing all that trouble, all that assault and never going to win with jeremy corbyn. so unfortunately...” a lwa ys jeremy corbyn. so unfortunately...” always vote labour because i've a lwa ys always vote labour because i've always been a working lad and i voted thinking we need a change and i think boris had the right ideas. go to the point as yesterday at, i said to my daughter and said i might toss a coin. because jeremy corbyn and dynamic are the things that you have seen, it is not who i want so i voted labour and would hopefully change leader or something. that was kind of what we were hoping but obviously it is conservative so we have to go with it. maybe a big change for the b

conservative party. the national from investors is that you get more certainty -- rationale from investors is that you get more certainty from parliament. still raises big questions about what happens later on in the year. future extend or not the trading relations between the eu and u.k.? he said he won't do that, but we will see if that has to happen and what happens at the end of december 2020. markets going with more certainty on brexit, and more predictability to what happens in the u.k. politically. that was one of the interesting points made from our guest from monex earlier. you get a bigger majority, you get more predictability. we are going over the details of these votes. all 650 constituencies counting up paper ballots. >> the results coming in fast. forot of games from -- gains the conservatives. they are making ground in the north of england, the midlands, and wales as well. these voted heavily for brexit in 2016. they are putting that vote in the conservative box. that is where we are stan

now going for the conservatives. and from labor and next to that you see the famous already mentioned be out of parliament on the exit poll. let's just move forward a bit. as we move forward on this live, we see constituencies where the exit poll has these very tight results indeed. going blue for labor in kiesling, the house of commons for labor. a tight game from labor. warrington, mvp, a tight game. labor steve. these are all the exit polls, gains. london going blue, and on we go. can we go right going blue. as you can see there, tom watson former deputy lead leader of the deputy leader stood down friend you never expected to go blue and very tight indeed. also south, again these are not seats, also true for and you would not expect them to be going blue. it is the exit poll telling us that. why should be sent tight. we may see them in the online pretty good news, labor needs and the other one for him go further down the street here, i can bring on these labor exit polls per let's have a look here. there we are in

the conservatives tonight picked up half of the vote share and the new is scott intended for the conservatives. let's take a little look at what has happened with the share of the vote in a familiar story now by this time. the share of the vote is down by 12 points. the conservatives are up by seven and the brexit party are putting in a performance here on six points. now i just want to show you a person that is now emerging, that the difference in which they've been voting when it comes to the performance and labor. when we talk about the seats we mean seats where 60% or more of the electorate voted into similarly remained. if you compare that labour performance, they are performing much less well in the lead seats down by 12 percentage points, down in the remaining seats as well put it down by less. by contrast the conservatives are performing better up by five percentage points and they are down by three points in the remaining seats but not by as much as labour, and that is why we are seeing this strong conservative performance across the board here down in both of the seats. >> some inter

>> the commitment has shown that and yesterday now people never voted conservative before voted conservative. >> i think that is a good thing for our politics we've had a long time when all the competition was for those in the middle-class britain. now there's a real competition for civility in the uk politics for the votes of the working class people. they will only ever get back into power if they start reclaiming. they will only now maintain power if they keep. and that is a good kind of competition to have in the electoral politics that we haven't had before. >> once wrote in the times -- i'm sorry, let's go straight back to huw. >> rejoined the returning officer. [applause] >> the labour party 13,211. lucas caroline green party, 33,100. [cheering] brexit party, 700,000. the number rejected was as follows. for more than a committed member unmarked hundred 42. the constituency turnout with 73.56%. i decry carolina's duly elected as a member of parliament. >> elected with a big majority. let's see what she has to say. >> all of the candidates to the returning officer, to the staff here thi

to get a conservative majority this big the labor party leader jeremy colvin has now said he will step down so what does all that mean for the brics it and can boris johnson prime minister deliver on his promise to get rex's done this is inside story. hello and welcome to the special inside story coming to you today from westminster here in central london boris johnson knew he had to win and win big and win big he did the labor party led by jeremy corbyn only had to get enough seats to form some sort of loose coalition with the scottish nationalist party up in edinburgh they didn't even get close to managing that so jeremy colvin has now said he will go he'll probably hang around however until april but boris johnson says he can deliver on bracks at that process in theory can and should he says kick off straight away with bricks it beginning to happen in january with a trade deal in the can done and dusted by the summer time his critics say that's impossible we'll get to our guest in just a moment but 1st rory chalons sets up discussion. after his election triumph boris johnson forms t

they reject the conservatives. they reject the conservatives.reject brexit. they did by 62% in the european election not that long ago. and so what we will now do, because we pay attention to what people in scotland say, and what they vote, we will now, as our first minister said, make that request, for the section 30 order which would permit a referendum on independence in scotla nd referendum on independence in scotland so, that people in scotland have the right to choose what their future should be. that doesn't necessarily mean that everyone who voted for the snp yesterday were supporters of independence, but what they were supporters was the right for scotland to choose its own future. i'm sure there was a certain sense of triumph among your party and mps last night. there was an extraordinary reaction from nicola sturgeon at the news thatjo swinson, the liberal democrat leader, had lost her seat, i'm sure nicola sturgeon will see that as a gain, a moment of triumph. i wonder if that seems a particularly seemly reaction from your party lead

the governing conservator. and they've all gone down a road of lending their votes to the tories mr johnson's message of get bricks it done does appear to cut through the white noise of the campaign so the numbers the statistics how are they unpacking at the moment the conservatives are on $361.00 labor on $203.00 the s.n.p. are on $48.00 also swinson the liberal democrat leader she lost her seat she's out of a job let's just take a pause now to look back at the main developments so far with my colleague paul brennan. the 1st results came in traditional labor strongholds in ne in lent dramatically reduced labor majority's seem to confirm the accuracy of the exit poll results live valley became the 1st labor see to fall a 10 percent swing seeing the conservatives win that for the 1st time since 195017th i was lucky the map of britain the trickle became a torrent of constituencies turning conservative blue traditional labor seats like workington and darlington peter a red car at his constituency counting oxbridge

so no complacency in the conservative camp. jessica parker in the labourcamp, conservative camp.arker in the labour camp, they have been watching the polls in the last few days, they will be pleased to see some tightening. what are the challenges tonight and one final message can they deliver to try and rally voters tomorrow?” message can they deliver to try and rally voters tomorrow? i think over the last few days, we have seen a jeremy corbyn travel up and down the country. i was at a rally in bristol on monday afternoon and since then, he has travelled up through the west of the country, ending up in glasgow, coming back down the east side of the country, and later on this evening, he will end up here for that final rally aware as jonathan was saying, parties try to motivate their troops, try to really deliver that core message, and i think something that we have seen from jeremy corbyn as he makes his speeches, speaks at rallies, is that he likes to concentrate on a few other labour's core messages, things that he they think are important to potentially motivate supporters, t

a majority for the conservatives of 14,000.n one election. look at the voce change. labour collapsing down 25%. —— vote change. a similar picture in dudley north, ian austin, but conservative, he told them, the former mayor now with a majority of 11,500. that is not going to go back to labour anytime soon. search field, the former seat of tony blair. he had a 25,000 seat majority when he came to power, that majority when he came to power, that majority when he came to power in 1997. now in the hands of the conservatives with a 4500 majority. one final one, someone with a 4500 majority. one final one, someone they met on the road, laura peacock, even she has lost her seat. she had a fairly decent majority, 110w she had a fairly decent majority, now it has gone to the conservatives. a big collapse in the labour voce. and you see the swing, 10% -- labour voce. and you see the swing, 10% —— vote share. a lot of thinking to do for labour. christian fraser. labour's major defeat has already started major soul searching, but where doe

again the conservatives and the brexit party picking up where labourave lost. 11% from labour to conservative. looking at the actual result to see if the exit poll matches the actual result. in a remain seat and the leaves the, according to the exit poll, we are seeing this from labour conservative, which will call into real question' jeremy cor's carefully calibrated position of neutrality on brexit. huw: many thanks. back with reeta and a short while. were hoping for a declaration within minutes. you're giving a short northeast england and newcastle as well. while you are watching us, you caitget more detail on the poll, by the way, on your mobile devices. bbc news has a seat-by-seat forecast. sect a constituency to see what the data suggests using the website the bbc app. it is a very useful thing for you to do for s at you are interested in. you will see what the exit poll data ipulled have afook you get a chance because it is a treasure trove of information. with me is our media editor. we have discussed several times duri the campaign lots of the campaigning has been online in lots of t

that is what the conservatives have achieved.labour strongholds, like wakefield, another labour seat that had been in labour hands since 1932 and it is now blue. and take a look at scotland. almost completely snp yellow and that has taken some casualties with it, like the leader of the liberal democrats, jo swinson. but when you look back across our map, with all the constituencies at the same size, you see just how dramatically it has changed. sophie ralph with with the national picture. —— sophie raworth with the national picture. it was a good night for the snp, taking 48 of the 59 seats in scotland, with labour and the tories suffering defeats. the country's first minister, nicola sturgeon, said she now has a fresh mandate for another referendum on scottish independence. alexandra mackenzie has more details. her report contains some flash photography. yes! cheering for the snp, it is a win beyond their own expectation. in glasgow, nicola sturgeon saw a clean sweep, with her party winning all seven seats. scotland's first mini

the conservative party has concern -- reserved a conservative majority. .llow abortions and to carry out his brexit practice. it gives johnson free reign to take written at of the european union in january after years of gridlock. the hope of nn has made the pound jump most since 2017, and had the highest since may 2018 against the dollar, and the strong is rate against the euro since after the brexit referendum. let's look at the highlights first. declare that [inaudible] [no audio] nejra: we will get back to that in just a moment. joining us is devon merritt, the senior executive error -- editor. we did manage to see the highlights of what happened overnight. why don't you take us to of them? -- take us through them? >> what a dramatic night. british politics upended. we've got a conservative majority, which we haven't seen since the heyday of margaret thatcher, a disastrous night for jeremy corbyn's labour party. he announced he would be stepping down. this career is over and his version of a socialist britain is not going to happen. you are seeing relie

that figure now stands for the conservatives at 70%. the conservative support amongst leave mac voters two years ago and thatis leave mac voters two years ago and that is the reason why the conservatives have been able to remain ahead. 0n the other side of the fence, deliver has made progress, primarily, not entirely, amongst remain voters. when this campaign started, the labour party we re campaign started, the labour party were only just campaign started, the labour party were onlyjust a head of the liberal democrats amongst for may voters. now labour is not far short of 50% and deliver democrats are back to below a quarter —— the liberal democrats are back to blue a quarter. do understand what has been going on there, you need to understand the way in which the election campaign in the calling of the campaign just seems to have squeezed the vote of the smaller parties but in a way that's very clearly to do with the debate about brexit. basically the conservatives, this is now the party of leave mac voters in the labour party, having

french relationship that they want i mean i think any conservative whether they were on the g. hard line breaks inside or otherwise do one some kind of free trade agreement i mean frankly they probably want to they're all along without any of the bells and whistles ears so i think the next challenge actually will be about the scope of this arrangement is it ambitious is it wide or is it just a very narrow and straightforward agreement but what isn't in the. in the future relationship decoration is anything to do with the possibility of no trade deal at the end of next year and he's refused to extend the transition making no trade deal a distinct possibility or by the end of next year that is always going to be a possibility however i think they would certainly point to in a within the 90 days of saw him be him becoming the prime minister he managed to get the withdrawal of cuban reopened up and changed all those things that people said that could not be done. given the fact that we start with equivalence already with the e.u. and there is a desire to have some kind of relations

we can be the community conservatives, and the national interest conservatives, and we hope the otherional parties so we can change government without changing the total course of the country. i'm afraid thejeremy corbyn tendency in the labour party when they took control was to change everything, or would, if when they took control was to change everything, orwould, if they when they took control was to change everything, or would, if they had been able to enact their manifesto, and frankly the venezuelan comparison is not too off course. the tory party needs to show we can be responsible and effective and if borisjohnson be responsible and effective and if boris johnson can be be responsible and effective and if borisjohnson can be a leader who can draw on the talents of the people elected then we can do as margaret thatcher did. when she got elected in 1979, four years after i became an mp, you had to apologise for being british or english if you went abroad but in seven years that had changed totally because we had a working economy, better tax take and public services and do bett

conservative mps for 100 years.hey will have an overwhelming mandate to get brexit done and we will honour that mandate late january 31st. the national executive will have to meet in the near future and it is up to them they will make that decision not me. i hope there will be a period of good discussion within the party and i think that is healthy and to be very welcomed. i hope that you were inspired by the manifesto willjoin and you were inspired by the manifesto will join and take you were inspired by the manifesto willjoin and take part in that discussion and it is up to them for when the election will take place. it will be in the early part of the year. this is a catastrophic defeat, many people would expect you to step down straightaway.” many people would expect you to step down straightaway. i was elected to leave the party. the responsible thing to do is not to walk away from the whole thing and i won't do that. i will stay here until there has been somebody elected to succeed me and then i will step down

boris johnson either a conservative government with borisjohnson at either a conservative government conservative government with borisjohnson at the head of it ora labour with borisjohnson at the head of it or a labour government with jeremy corbyn stoplights he would rather do all of this again? neither our suit —— neither are fit to be a prime minister. i don't think either of them are worthy to be a prime minister. so you would put in a number ten? we have locked the tories out of power, would never put a conservative government and the power and jeremy corbyn has very much accepted the principle that if the macro to do well, we get the mandate for an independence referendum and you would“ mandate for an independence referendum and you would if they said his manifesto was not credible, they would still put them in power? neither of them add up, none of them hold water. they reckoned that implementing what you set out in an independent scotland would lead to deeper austerity than under conservative spending plans. that is completely wrong. the entire basis of the snp plan is not t

coming to you live from european broadcasting hub here in london we now have the exit polls the conservative majority for boris johnson is 86 according to that exit poll projection that gives him $368.00 seats in theory if this projection is accurate labor on $191.00 the liberal democrats on 13 the bracks it's party of course a party for whom it is in their political d.n.a. to get out of the european union they have got 0 m.p.'s all the predictions were that bracks it would get 0 the top line on the mr johnson boris johnson has got precisely what he wanted he's got more than what he wanted let's bring in chris hopkins from savannah to commerce chris i have to say this time last night you were saying 6 or 7 maybe he's got a strong king majority that's up there with tony blair back in 97 yeah absolutely i mean it seems to be the. completely justified if that the post correct which we've got no reason at the state a doubt that it wouldn't be he was committed justified in trying to call this election in order to get a large majority to push back that they'll through. you know he did run a very s

commanding victory for boris johnson's conservative party in the u.k. snap election giving him the mandate to push through. more jeremy corbin says he will not fight another election as labor leader after a crushing defeat. again i'm just on the attack and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up a risky operation in new zealand as 6 more bodies are recovered from monday's volcanic eruption. and we'll have the latest from the climate change conference that's wrapping up in madrid. now it's the biggest victory for the conservative party in decades in an election that's been called the u.k.'s most important voters in a generation boris johnson has headed to buckingham palace where queen elizabeth will invite him to form the next government his conservative party is confirmed with $364.00 of the $650.00 seats in parliament johnson says this shows a clear mandate to get done labor leader jeremy corbyn plans to step down after his party's west to defeat in more than 80 is and the calls for a 2nd referendum on scottish independence are growing louder

for $400.00 never a conservative m.p. for 400 years and these are the areas these are the constituencies that the conservatives were able to get this breakthrough and to get this big swing really for them ok it was certainly a big swing i mean what was behind this conservative victory and the massive losses we're seeing the breaking of the red ball of labor let's just talk about that red wall because it is incredible when you look at some of the seats that labor have lost to the conservatives tony blair the most successful labor prime minister ever his former seat of such field has gone blue it's gone tory bassett claw a seat that's been in labor for decades an 18 percent swing to the conservatives i'm somebody called the beast of polls he's done he's going to he's been an labor m.p. since 1970 nost his seat it has gone blue gone tory so this is really really bad news for labor what happened well we know that boris johnson's bracks it very simple message get back to don broke so many of those labor formulated supporters w

there's a a large appeal to bigotry in the conservative. kind of stylee in the way that they've sort of position themselves to the rival on the money as you go to these areas of become older and older young people have had to leave the service because they want there is work so you see you are also looking at a demographic in those areas younger people in britain not just people of diversity but in general have moved into the cities where the opportunities are ok because older people are old enough to know this is that sure if you really destroyed the manufacturing industries in those areas yes although some of them i'm going to start the strike was 19 eighty-four. that there were people there who are now out to my age to go to the school of the soldier in the miners' strike it was a long time ago. it's it's going to be very tricky the conservatives have merely used to blame immigrants and blame people and blame everybody but themselves for the situation people find they promised them that if you do this one thing if you get press it done e

after the break the chairman of the welsh conservatives and labor m.p. for 30 years kate hoey on the party's apparent betrayal of the english working class almost more comparable to a going underground. economy . it's a let me. ask i would name will. pick i could. record . this show more than. can you love lose you know my. son to make it a secret is don't want to talk. to what they were all of the kook on the standards of the out now as you. know most of the focal. i knew of those 2 morons who move them along to the snooze through learning one thing for not. so when you hire tied to use into a good. joke. to me when i meet you house on the net passing them. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm sure i'll see you then. when they miss owners johnson. and i just got out of prison for. 41 yes. 72 here and so now i got arrested for attempted something. it's still going on like this everything is taken out of. my work and. think it was. meant to snow man that looks a little bit

i am mindful that you represent the conservative and unionist party.d your colleagues, are going to face the gravest of scottish questions — what to do about the demand in scotland for independence, at least a new independence referendum. what have you got to offer them? well, i think many people in scotland will hope that this issue had been put to bed earlier, for a generation. well, with respect, 48 scottish mps just elected ran and won on a mandate which says that we must have a new referendum on independence. so, far from wanting to put it to bed, they are intent on demanding a second referendum. well, there were many factors, ithink, in play in the scottish result. but you're right that not everyone, unfortunately, accepts that you can't go having these referenda on a very regular basis. they should really be for a generation. but let's assume that that argument is not accepted. then, in the end we will have to — we will have to have an argument about this. probably better after brexit has taken place, and everyone can see what the new settlement

after the break the chairman of the welsh conservatives and labor m.p. for 30 years kate hoey on the party's apparent betrayal of the english working class also more comfortable to have going underground. system let me. ask i would then will. take i could function. not out of the mold to show more than. you love food even on the other. hand you may go to see because don't want to come . to what they were all of the kook on standards in the uk now as you had checked on bush. and then with the full circle. being. the new of those damone some of them a little known to the cynics thrown in one thing for not. so when you hire them and when he tried to use in did. not. want to meet you has on they're not passing them. well he's gone from. off the hog pretty cute. he can live you walk over do you want to make we'll see what he will do with us so. that gives a lot of quality and clarity. i'm very sad that my party did so poorly but i think that was self-inflicted by having run a dreadful dreadful campaign and i think that made the crisis that we should not have

conservative without fearing a non-conservative to emerge.oup of people who have been under discussed, and we've heard a lot about labour leave vote rs heard a lot about labour leave voters who support brexit, don't much like jeremy corbyn, thinking about voting conservative, and boris johnson has been meeting some of them today. we have heard less about remain sporting conservatives who don't like borisjohnson remain sporting conservatives who don't like boris johnson and remain sporting conservatives who don't like borisjohnson and don't feel comfortable voting for him and supporting his brexit deal, so the question is, will they do that on thursday or will they back labour? more questions than answer5. that's it for the papers this hour. katy balls and jack blanchard will be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers, and you can see all the front pages good evening. for many, monday has offered a brief respite from the wet and windy conditions, but it's going to be short lived. we have been under a transient ridge of high pressure whi

yeah, i voted conservative. have you voted conservative before?on what they were going. obviously, the lib dems were completely just disregarding everyone's vote three years ago. so ijust felt that the conservatives were going to get brexit done, and that's why i went that way. i am normally labour. every time before, i've been labour, butjeremy corbyn, i've got no faith in him either. he wasjust horrendous, really. as for paul bristow, the new tory mp, he says he wanted to look at things like the nhs, improving schools, improving education in the city and getting this city horse fairshare of city and getting this city horse fair share of police officers, as he says. as for brexit, he says it will be done by the end ofjanuary and he said we simply can't talk about it any more. iam sure any more. i am sure he would find others to agree with him! thank you. you are watching bbc election 2019. more here ina watching bbc election 2019. more here in a moment but first we can cross to the newsroom and joinjane hill, who has today's summary of the storie

the conservatives won here as well. so, what now?iver what you voted for? boris, boris himself, i don't know, er, but the party in general, i'd like to think there is some truth. trust's a big thing in politics, isn't it? because there's many an amount of them that tell a lot of lies, but fingers crossed. from the north sea to the irish sea, labour's red wall reduced to rubble. jon kay, bbc news. plenty more coverage and analysis of the uk's general election on our website. and you can find plenty more detail on the next steps with brexit as well. finally, a memorable moment in the british election. and it was indeed a big moment for boris johnson as he won his parliamentary seat in his west london constituency. as the results were announced, the prime minister shared the stage with some interesting characters, including a candidate from britain's infamous monster raving looney party. take a look. music plays. i. music plays. i, lloyd white, being the acting returning officer for oxbridge and... do hereby give notice that the number

this is the middle ground of conservative politics.'s not any longer behold ton the euro skeptics in his party. he can get bigger it looks like. all the local predictions suggest that. with that big majority he can push through his own agenda. he talked about education as well. of course ahoefd all of that, brexit comes first. he pitched that he's the man to get brexit done. that clearly resonated. and now brexit will be done. brexit's going ahead. the idea of a brexit referendum is going away. jeremy corbyn in a terrible position now on his way out. but also the whole labour movement having to reconsider what they're about. do they want to be as far left as jeremy corbyn took them or go back to the center ground made famous by tony blair. >> and max, hiss message throughout the campaign was clear, which was get brexit done. for now the challenge will be of course how does he fulfill that -- how quickly does he fulfill that promise, what kind of brexit are we going to get? and that i suspect we'll know in the coming months. >> well, ma

the prime minister is visiting the north—east of england, where a surge of support for the conservativesn traditional labour seats helped his party to its biggest election win in 30 years. in the past hour, borisjohnson met supporters in newly—conservative sedgefield, tony blair's old constituency. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn is coming under increasing pressure to resign immediately after his party suffered its worst election results since the 1930s. our report from matt cole contains some flashing images. workington, some flashing images. bishop auckland, leigh, north workington, bishop auckland, leigh, north of england focuses which photo the conservatives. and sedgefield, yes, tony blair's old seat, sedgefield. borisjohnson arrived there this morning because it, too, is now blue, and make no mistake, the choice of scene to visit, that of luba's the choice of scene to visit, that of lu ba's my the choice of scene to visit, that of luba's my success and former pm will be chosen to maximise the imagery. i know that people may have been breaking and voting habits of generations to vote

our exit poll is suggesting that there will be a conservative majority...ting brexit done is now the irrefutable, irresistible, unarguable decision of the british people. i will not lead the party in any future general election campaign. corbyn was a disaster on the doorstep. everyone knew that he couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag. for me, this is about whether the labour party is and has any right to exist. i still believe that we, as a country, can be warm and generous. scottish national party, 17,000... cheering. singing. i did it, everybody. i say thank you for the trust you have placed in us and in me. i urge everyone to find closure and to let the healing begin. and happy christmas. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sonia sodha, who's the chief leader writer with the observer, and sebastian payne — the whitehall correspondent for the ft. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. a stonking majority, says the financial times, with a photo of prime minister borisjohnson

conservatives should be.llenge to which he is referring is how do we make sure the election is not a flash in the pan and people who have given the conservative party of our trust in this election like what they see, think the conservative government gets on in serving their interests, dealing with some of the communities of written that been left behind and so of written that been left behind and so at the next election, they think the conservative government has done a good job and they wish to support it again. that is precisely the point. it seems to me the conservative party of the next few months, year or two has to make some fundamental decisions about what it is and who it is for. there are thatcherite in the conservative represented in the house of commons we re represented in the house of commons were still preoccupied with making government smaller and yet, to deliver for the people we are talking about, who voted tory for the first time in some of the most deprived parts of england, making governm

he's got to wrap them into a conservative party, a conservative party whose activists are completelyresentative of the country as a whole. and, in fact, you could say that of both major parties. but he's got to change his style. he's got to produce a more inclusive conservative party. and he's not got to be the kind of vindictive figure that we saw when he was dealing with the rebels in his own party who were trying to stop a no deal brexit. the way in which he dealt with those, pretty ruthless way he dealt with those, showed a very tough side to boris johnson. the now is, you know, will the real boris johnson stand up? and if so what is the real boris johnson? >> we're going to ask you that after we take a quick break and we'll be back with much more from robin oakley. lows ♪ ♪ we would only hold on to let go ♪ ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ we need someone to lean on ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ we needed somebody to lean on ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ all we need is someone to lean on ♪ >>>. ♪ ♪ >>> welcome back. let's bring in cnn political contributor robin oakley to talk more about what he last said

one nation conservatives, that was their slogan. the nation in question is england and to some considerable extent also wails. england is the one nation. scottish nation has the diametrically opposite view and election result. francine: given all the money the tories have pledged also during the campaign, how different is this tory party from the previous one? or especially from the james cameron one? this is very anti-austerity party. christopher: yes, i think that the conservative party has realized that austerity is not going to be a vote winner. their previous fiscal plans to arrive at a balanced budget by 2022 were formally abandoned in the camping. if memory serves, they now now have a target of a 3.3% gdp deficit. clearly in the atmosphere of confidence, i think that the u.k. gilt market will absorb that issuance without excessive difficulty, and there will not be tax cuts, according to the conservative manifesto, with the exception of perhaps some cuts on national insurance for lower paid employees. there will be debt-financ

physical yet so the money just as you can conserve man surfaces on paintings we're trying here to conserve matt surfaces on sculptures and there are ways of doing that. and here i know the whole thing reminds me of eve klein paintings which often have very powdery surfaces. coby units here here we're trying out a medical nebulizer house or in this case we're putting in sturgeon glue dissolved in water on india that will be vaporized in the air and then very slowly settle on the grains of dust and link them with each other so that they don't immediately fall off and you might even be able to touch them and this is the 1st conservator i ever really approached and he wants a conservator that was interest a lot of the issues that were being brought up by contemporary artist dita wrote them shows the boy is in flux or sort. of the things that and materials that were being used. in a way come out of that tradition. turn . to some other. let's not lose. that's all of. us. all in. this sand. beautifully. pretty. soon. our. next christian chinaman had to brooklyn to visit us. and coming artist ryan

is a long time i think what the conservative m.p.'s and the conservative party now they're representing a group of people that they have never really represented before and their policies are going to have to appeal to those long term we saw a very. conservative manifesto this election and it was all about bricks it's so between speeches that we say in the few days time it's going to need to have a programme for government in it a programme for government that goes beyond just talking about bracks it is going to be whether the conservative party can hold these votes come 2024 which is likely we will see a new election i think we've heard some labor talking heads tonight which. and some of the other members of the shadow cabinet is kind of saying that yes this is bad for the labor party but the 2024 election or whatever it is won't be the bracks it's election. maybe that will be an opportunity for labor whoever the leader is of raster coben or not remains to be say they'll give them the option to try and win those votes back ok chris h

in wales the conservatives have made major gains. one neighbor saw it see it's reduced and in northern ireland supporters of a united ireland one of those who want to remain part of the u.k. for the 1st time since partition in 1921 while the scottish national party's nicholas sturgeon says the one means that there is enough support for scottish independence i don't want a conservative majority government but the fact that it's warts is going to be the position after this election underlays the importance of scotland having a choice of something different and you know i don't pretend that every single person in your city will necessarily support independence but that has been a storm indorsement in this election of scotland having a choice over their future of not having to put up with a conservative government that we didn't vote for and not having to accept life as a nation state the european union so that independence referendum that was very much at the heart of the same peace campaign that is a renewed refresh strengthened mandat
