Boris Johnson has promised to "get Brexit done” after his gamble for a snap election paid off.
The Conservatives have a comfortable majority in the House of Commons, taking seats from Labour in its heartlands.
The British Prime Minister has described the victory as a political "earthquake."
He says he'll put an end to "nonsense" in Parliament which has held up progress with the EU.

Jeremy Corbyn says he'll step aside once the Labour Party has had time to reflect and decide a way forward.
The Lib Dems are also on the search for a new leader, after Jo Swinson lost her seat in East Dunbartonshire.
It's a different picture for the SNP, which has made a series of gains.
In Northern Ireland, for the first ever, there are more Nationalists in the House of Commons than Unionists.
It's been a damaging general election for the DUP who've lost two of their MPs, including Nigel Dodds their leader at Westminster.
Donald Trump's tweeted his congratulations to Mr Johnson, calling it a "great win."
