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'.

Sturgeon says Johnson 'does not have a mandate' to take Scotland out of the EU

SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said Boris Johnson "emphatically does not have a mandate" to take Scotland out of the EU.

Speaking on Sky News, she said: "I'm bitterly disappointed at the result UK wide, I think Tory governments are bad for the UK, more than they're bad for Scotland, and I really don't want the UK to leave the European Union.

"But I've got to accept that England appears to have voted in a particular way, they appear to have voted for a Conservative government and appear to have voted to endorse the UK leaving the European Union.

"So Boris Johnson may have a mandate to take England out of the European Union, but he emphatically does not have a mandate to take Scotland out of the European Union.

"And Scotland must have the choice over our own future because it can't be any clearer than it has been made in this election today that Scotland doesn't want a five year Boris Johnson government and doesn't want to lose our status as a European nation."

Ms Sturgeon added that on a personal level, she "feels for" Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson, who lost her seat in East Dunbartonshire.
