It was a night to remember, or forget, depending on your political colours.
The Conservatives stormed to a huge majority, Brexit looks set to happen and Boris Johnson is very very happy.

Swinson, who lost her seat to the SNP in 2015 before winning it back in 2017, was defeated by just 140 votes.
Which side are you on?
