This one nation Conservative government has been given a powerful new mandate.
This is obviously a very disappointing night for the Labour party.
Tonight is terrible. It's horrendous. It's heartbreaking.
Jo Swinson has lost her seat in Dunbartonshire East to the Scottish National Party.
The most disastrous result for the Labour party.
The worst result since 1935.
[cheering and applause]
The votes are counted after this election of December 2019, the Conservatives
on 368 seats and Labour way down on 191.
A majority. [audience boos]
Well, that's what the exit poll is saying.
Boris Johnson has gambled and won.
The exit poll which is predicting a large Conservative majority.
If this exit poll is anywhere near right, this result is a catastrophe for you,
Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party.
– If it is anywhere near this – Just anywhere
Anywhere near, you're right, this will be extremely disappointing for the for the party.
But certainly this exit poll is a devastating blow.
Ian Levy, the Conservative party candidate, 17, 000
[cheering and applause]
I would like to thank Boris.
What we seem to be seeing tonight in Blythe and from the exit poll is that families,
people who have been lifelong Labour voters in Labour areas are not voting for your party.
Russia's Berlin Wall came down in 2019.
Labour's red wall came down.
Labour's red wall is analogous to the Berlin Wall
of a totalitarian state?
Well, that was a very left wing state.
Is this result making you ... I mean are you slightly gone ...?
No, not at all. The Labour party present lucidity? No.
In this election year, I did notice that Ian Duncan Smith is to be elected
as a member of parliament for Chingford and Woodford Green.
The Lib Dem vote, though. Look at that.
Just about splitting it enough to let Iain Duncan Smith in.
As the member for the East Dunbartonshire.
So we'll be celebrating the wave of nationalism that is sweeping on both sides of the border.
And I do congratulate all those who are newly elected.
Commiserations to Jo Swinson.
To lose her seat tonight, when has led her party through this campaign
will be a bitter blow for her.
Thank you very much.
All good things must come to an end.
But I do want to say that I'm over the moon by the results we're seeing nationally.
Corbyn was a disaster on the doorstep.
Everyone knew that he couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag.
I want him out of the party. I want Momentum gone.
Go back to your student politics.
And I will not lead the party in any future general election campaign.
It is six minutes past 5:00 in the morning.
And we are now in a position to say that this election of 2019 formally
has been won by the Conservatives.
This election means that getting Brexit done is now the irrefutable, irresistible,
unarguable decision of the British people.
