Boris Johnson <\/strong><\/p>\n

Boris Johnson has promised to work \u201cnight and day\u201d to repay the trust of voters after he led the Conservatives to an \u201chistoric\u201d general election win.<\/p>\n

With just one seat left to declare, the Tories have a Commons majority of 76.<\/p>\n

Speaking in London, the PM said he had a mandate to take the UK out of the EU next month \u201cno ifs, no buts\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Corbyn has said he will not fight another election as Labour leader after the party was swept aside in its traditional heartlands.<\/p>\n

With just one constituency \u2013 the Cornish seat of St Ives \u2013 left to declare, the Conservatives have 364 MPs, Labour 203, the SNP 48, Liberal Democrats 11 and the DUP eight.<\/p>\n

Sinn Fein has seven MPs, Plaid Cymru four and the SDLP has two. The Green Party and Alliance Party have one each.<\/p>\n

The Brexit Party \u2013 which triumphed in the summer\u2019s European Parliament elections \u2013 failed to win any Westminster seats.<\/p>\n

The Conservative Party\u2019s Commons majority is its largest since Margaret Thatcher won a third term in 1987.<\/p>\n

In his victory speech, Mr Johnson told activists it was a \u201cnew dawn\u201d for the country, echoing comments Labour\u2019s Tony Blair made when he won the general election of 1997.<\/p>\n

He thanked Labour voters, many of whom, he said, had backed the Conservatives for the first time, vowing to lead a \u201cpeople\u2019s government\u201d and fulfil the \u201csacred trust\u201d placed in him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou may intend to return to Labour next time round, and if that is the case, I am humbled that you have put your trust in me, and I will never take your support for granted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will make it my mission to work night and day, flat out to prove that you were right in voting for me this time, and to earn your support in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
