General election 2019: Boris Johnson arrives at Downing Street

Boris Johnson has said he will make the NHS an "overwhelming priority" during his renewed tenure in No. 10 following a political “earthquake” which which saw Labour support give way top a comfortable Tory majority.

However he has not extended the same olive branch to voters north of the border - telling Nicola Sturgeon he would not lend any support to a second independence referendum.

Meanwhile Jeremy Corbyn has refused to take responsibility for the worst Labour showing since 1935 - blaming Brexit for the party’s devastating defeat.

Key Points

• Johnson vows to get Brexit done 'no ifs, no buts'
• Labour figures call on Corbyn to quit immediately
• ...but Corbyn says he won't leave until 'early part of next year'
• Swinson loses seat, leading Sturgeon to celebrate wildly
• 'End of Corbynism,' claims David Cameron
• PM promises 'permanent break from talking about Brexit' in Downing Street speech
• ...while adding the 'overwhelming priority of the British people' is a 'focus... on the NHS'.

Referendum should be held in 2020 if SNP wins in Scotland, says Westminster leader

SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford said if his party wins in Scotland Boris Johnson should allow a referendum on independence to be held in 2020.

Speaking to ITV News, he said: "We've now won every election in Scotland since (2014) so if Boris Johnson respects democracy then he has to respect the right of the people of Scotland to determine their own future."

He added: "If Scotland votes for the SNP, Boris Johnson, or any other prime minister, has to respect the views, the votes and the wishes of the Scottish.

"To do otherwise is an affront to democracy. All he will do is push people into arms of the SNP.

"We won this election tonight for Scotland, that should be respected. The Scottish government is pushing through legislation for a referendum, it should be recognised, we should be having that referendum on independence in 2020."
