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'.

Newly elected Labour MP Stella Creasy is joined by newborn daughter

Newly re-elected Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy was joined on stage by her two-week-old daughter Hettie.

The Labour MP was voted back into Parliament with 35,784 votes.

She was the first member of parliament to be given maternity leave, with a locum MP providing cover for her in her constituency.

In her victory speech she said: "Walthamstow is not Gilead. Those candidates who spread lies are not welcome.

"I pledge to work hard to rebuild trust.

"I have been in the Labour movement for 27 years through ups and downs.

"Tonight is a down. My heart is breaking."

She later told Sky News: "(My daughter) started heckling me during my speech but I couldn't really leave her at home.

"I can't pretend what is happening across the rest of the country isn't devastating.

"I am gutted to see very good colleagues, very passionate colleagues, not being returned to parliament."

Ms Creasy revealed earlier this year she was expecting her first child after having had two previous miscarriages.
