After winning an historic victory for the Conservative party with just one seat left declares have been hearing in the majority of 7364 seats the last night since 1935 losing 59 seats the month of this column the same as before this morning only it was 3 new Conservative M.P.'s I talked to one of them short lived Paul Adam Ben Bradshaw from Labor held their seats in Plymouth and Exeter albeit with reduced majorities what should go next what should happen next what for you should be at the top of Boris Johnson's to do list how you voted how are you feeling today did you get what you want. B.b.c. Radio 110183 fold. Text records we're starting the moment with the way to email Janet said b.b.c. Don't take the t.k. I think it's time to recap we heard from Jenny Kim Our political reporter a little bit earlier on but I've got her back into just recap and set the scene again for the last hour special 3 hour phone in today Fitz is on with the 1 o'clock is Janet taking your calls now 101034 want to hear from you let's go back to to Jenny Jenny 1st of all reset for us the national results what do you think that shows us the Conservatives had a simple message get bricks it done and it's one through in contrast Labour's manifesto failed to attract voters and they ended up with the worst result they've had since 193435 of the conservatives took seats off the seat from labor in areas of northern England the Midlands and Wales all areas which backed wrecks it in 2016 Have a listen supports Johnson speaking earlier this morning this election means that Doug is now the irrefutable irresistible all arguable decision of the British people. And with this election I think we put an end to all those middle miserable threats of a 2nd Reverend. Boris Johnson talking a little bit earlier but about the local picture Jenny Well all parties have held on to their seats in Devon one casualty of that is Sarah Willesden a former conservative who won the toss my seat 3 times but last night she was voted out because she's now a liberal Democrat she defected a few months ago. She may for a find some consolation though in the fact that she increased the Lib Dem boats quite considerably in top ness coming 2nd when they only managed a 3rd place in 2017 Has she is reflecting on why she lost the conservatives have persuaded people that they're going to deliver a positive brick set I think that nationally there was a loss as well because of what's happened with the Labor Party and the absolute failure of labor to properly make the case remain. Jenny what she think about then is that was it the big issue I guess is going to continue to be for a while there I would say definitely so because if you look at the way areas in Devon voted in the referendum they pretty much backed the local m.p. According to how what their position was on breaks it so Exeter one of only 2 remaining areas Ben Bradshaw a remain m.p. Has held onto his seat albeit with a majority cut by 9 percent. The only anomaly is Plymouth and Devonport where Luke Paul r. Does hold on to his seat to the slightly reduced majority as well he is a remain in pay but the city voted to leave now both M.P.'s in Devon both Labor M.P.'s and Devon have criticised Jeremy called Corbin's leadership and here's Lou Paul our assessment of what Labor needs to do next I want to see the new generation stepping forward I want to see us to reflect on the campaign that we've got but not to give the Tories any free yet owing to define a narrative to brand the victory in only their words we need to be clear that our policies were popular but there were lessons that we need to learn and some of those are about bricks it's some of those are about leadership Bracks it was a big issue but pap surprisingly especially considering how many people I've had on this show saying they were going to vote for the Bracks party it felt to make any headway it didn't generate Yes so they withdrew they actually didn't stand in many of the seats in there because they were conservative Peled and they decided to target those Labor held areas so they stood in Exeter and Plymouth and would come with the big name standing in the Plymouth Sutton Devonport seat pulled one but she only polled just under 3000 votes and in Exeter their candidate only got around 1500 votes I think what that shows is that the conservatives have become the breaks at Party thank you very much indeed Jenny Cuma political reporter 101034 if you want to comment on anything that you her. That all indeed just tell me how you feeling this morning did you get what you wanted and although we still write in this rise of the election result I think people are already looking ahead to what happens next a lot has been promised what do you think is going to be delivered Wait wait 10134 now we got 3 new M.P.'s in Devon all conservatives because previous M.P.'s have stepped down I'm going to talk to one of them. Be the new conservative m.p. For North Devon the 1st female m.p. To win the seat and won with a very comfortable majority of 56.6 percent of the vote which was quite a rise silang from Peter he didn't Genz How did you do it. I think this election he did sort of reflect the meat of the making that people wanted to get back to and you know I'd like to point b. To. Make a deliberate and we know we had a number of people back in labs if you like to the point many many thanks to them you can really see that you're plus over 10 percent on the vote share of the previous elections and of course this used to be the Liberal Democrats didn't it the conservatives took it for from the Liberal Democrats in 2015 What were people saying on the doorsteps to you. I think it's very clear that people just want to get on with other things that are over there eking to get back to the corner phrase and taking farmers and small businesses and he just is certainty of knowing the direction of travel and I think people in the door that really you know were broken even lots of plans for the feasibility that a fantastic job and has and to create significant image investment in the constituent States and we really came out we have to deliver on things like the link right and our new hospital and to really push things forward how does Boris Johnson reunite the country that is going to be a massive issue and let's remember that despite this result and I'm going to exact proportions but the still what a lot of people most voted for remain parties for the Liberal Democrats for Labor to a certain extent the Green Party how it you and how in your area but also how it's going to bring everyone together again. Our because it's a birth but I think from a passion and they just moving forward I think will be a big step in the right direction uncertainty that Proviron gridlock at Westminster Brayley has meant I think people have sort of plan on taking their place that we're going to do that and they didn't really care for it has been incredibly clever the country that we are going to get it done and that that is the number one priority which I think once you've got through this next phase it will mean that people can start questioning move forward that there's not the possibility of a door opening or something changing or another referendum we are all going in the same direction and I very much hope that will be the stat to work in best that towards unifying the country some people of course will be very unhappy about that and thinking it's going to be a lot of economic trouble to still that viewpoint there but you're confident that he can draw everybody together. I am and I think oh you know we are a democracy and in 20 states Spain is a punch I am taking here in north Devon people did leave the European Union and I develop politicians our job is to represent the views of the people that elect us and the fact that should have been delivered by now and I'm optimistic to the future and that we will now go ahead and get by Saddam but it's always been quite a divisive figure some people in the slipping a lot of speculation an accusation about the the truth in his statements and some of his more that descriptions of people like single mothers and women wearing but because is he going to be able to put all that successfully behind him. And I think yesterday's election won't be long before our confidence in the direction of travel and again I'm not going to make a boy but I do think that you know he has shown that he's a great leader and people are at that trust in him to deliver day and I hope that actually we can all now move forward and. I've got to let you go now because of understand you got to teach a class haven't you your mass teacher. And I have to take a lesson in 5 years I'll let you go the judgment Westminster starts on Monday I think. Thank you very much for joining us today the practicalities that. The new conservative m.p. For North Devon What do you think about what she's saying there do you feel this great rift in the country. Even though we've got this result is still there isn't it we've heard it from people this morning the people who wanted to remain the people who voted in other ways how do we bring everyone together run into evidence that I want to make a comment on politics but I would like to request a certain song Oh what a beautiful morning oh what a beautiful day you're out of luck with that play list I'm afraid I think we get the point you're making 101034 let's talk to Steve in Barnstable we're asking today Steve did you get what you wanted most. Thank you all quite result yelling it's a conservative Yeah all to the little for all it was a lot but. It is the point now a lot this morning who sat there knows everyone suicide they criticize Johnson the lawyers than the shooter not stuck to his guns now we found in the truth was who the leaders we would have had if we got anybody else could we can after go once in Washington we have an I mean she left she she didn't know 2 she didn't hold on to a seat she confided in me so where is Polish Johnson he has got 3 guns and he's been a bit of a fall into is that there is what we will get excluded now you are no human but it did mourn a pretty great state but if it's a day off because it's not that different a reason Miles may still effect. I don't know what don't believe Carol just work it out you know it was interesting so don't completely fool he don't care if the deal is different on not Teresa Mayes but that that was so I rounded condemned by people yet Mr Turner and we were all sitting there a lot of people in the critical standing there going. To Happen no 'd one knows what. That small point we will see cannot compare me leaving Europe and. The world's going to fall apart how do we know how do we know when the gentleman who's talking to business gentleman about 10 minutes ago he said well you know it's a terrible thing you know because of poor you know it's not going to work. These people or that they're not pulling the country to get what we need. What can we now do we mark God's mercy for I've been bitten but he can say exactly what he wants from his position of knowledge which is as a business person is exactly what Iran is here and yet all told is very preventable can I say if you know it's correct he doesn't know if he's really going to face talking about the business community that he is a part all of so he's talking from his experience as as many people do as well for sure Steve I get the point you're making nobody's go to a crystal ball but there are people that all working in these areas that are economists that all the Bank of England all people with respect know a lot more than Stephen Bonestell and their salaries things are I certainly agree but at the end of the day I like what you say I don't know because the magic wall so when I said well we have a No Kill breaks it was a terrible thing was terrible who knows nobody knows and this is what we do some people don't do you know more than others but not 100 percent but you you know you just think Never mind about that let's just do it anyway because that's what people voted for you sorry about people who know what you know know this. The polls are meant to know when I say they. This post before the yeah Tunes outs yeah oh yeah Semaj Staples Arena No. No wise Lloyd but that's no this is a must win or well in me and thus a statistical thing I get what you saying state what about Boris Johnson himself what about beyond. This life they've promised they repeated endlessly Let's get done but I've also given manifesto pledges on lots of other things what stood out for you what would you like other than blacks to be down I think as long as he speaks truth comes with the National how. Many are there and also are the placing schools. Forward but reversing it is for if we did we missed apparently the you know the not next not the Calcutta if everybody in me country one pound you only we're not going to help the National Health Service they were everyone's today where did you get those I guess because I see how many people live in this really nice country 60 something is not some of the millions 16000000 yes 16000000 pounds if you just took one pound you can push quite international help. That's a drop in the ocean I think for the health services mob a drop in the ocean breeze better than nothing you know member when you when we were talking about boys Trump away it was a case of like a 1000000 Dr income I really was were really matter yes absolutely we connect 67000000 thereabouts between results and 67000000 if everybody I told Howard Johnson does what he said. They say if you can sell on 35 he will examine just very unclear it was Boris Johnson not anybody else because. You know how many stories tonight he appeared in Scotland. And spicy Clichy who should get so many top moving movies the last call the s.n.c. By neurosurgeon. Shooting at will help the so-called people who are in the love she get 54 she's got one if you're 48 following but I don't think she did the last or not the last election the election before it's my 6 Hussian day where you can see the 3000 something she lost. So again I just think the country's now spoken and the country said once again it's out it was out that was what Boris Johnson a strike was during his campaign let's get back to God but around Harf of state and again this is not accurate figures around half have gone to prior remain parties. Yeah so you're saying that the country has spoken but the Hill that portion of the population who want to remain and Boris Johnson is need to sneak out how bringing people together yet what a caring you know you know he's going to go into Parliament Let's see if he does what he says because he couldn't do it before because every other party in parliament was going to go so we're going to. Win when we're not going to listen to what the British public what we're going to sign no no no no so Boris Johnson the same is true I was fighting a losing battle he's hard to call me election which you don't which is what many people really pushed and I've actually felt good in a big one I will stay for always good to hear from you thank you very much I will I don't so you know. Cheerio Stephen Barts divil Stephen King's Speech said I hope Boris in Joyce's moment and it doesn't go to his head I won't breaks it down faster than anybody else but I hope he doesn't go power crazy it just goes to show that after 3 years of being called stupid leave voters didn't know what we were voting for Wait wait 10134 I guess he can't strictly say that until well 10 years down the line 5 years when will we know if it was a good idea to leave your opponent that's a very interesting question of course isn't it and once we do you leave in the at the end of January it's just the beginning of lots of different negotiations so I suspect we're going to be talking about it for a long while to come I always say wait 10134 I want to hear from you this morning $88.00 death and travel news the trinkets Honiton interests of Mary Bishop school lane is blocked in both directions due to full entry the.

B.b.c. Radio dad. Janet Kipling. Devon is still blue apart from Plymouth and Devonport. Exits are the 2 seats in the county so the colors on the map of Devon have remained the same but it's been a very good night for the Conservative Party the held all the seats including in top necessarily system defected to the Liberal Democrats the focus of the Tories increased in nearly all their seats including in Eastern. No Stephan you have the new Countess we spoke to one of those just a minute ago care right in East Africa independent hotly tipped missed out. But not enough let's talk to Patricia intemperance Mary is that your constituency Patricia. No way where mouse dried your mouse tried central John and I'm not using which everybody else's but Ok but he's won pretty comprehensively I think we can say how you're feeling absolutely related I've never in 60 years of voting I've never been so worried about an election as I was about this one Randi why well because. People will say Black said it 1st of all we live in a democracy and the people voted to leave we have an away day too because otherwise we're not a democracy anymore and also the 2 summative and in the Labor Party was frightening me because I live so. I wasn't born until 941 and didn't know about the horrors of about it until last about but I think we really did not I mean when you say the anti semitism in the Labor Party do you have any concrete examples of. Apart from stuff in the press No but if he he was are so many kinds. And refuse to make an art so warm. And he has got to send the text in the Parliament we also have quite a few people Jewish people living in cabins America and they were very very worried I must say again that would if Jeremy Corbin was sitting here he would hotly deny that and she said Yes that's right press but we'll we'll we'll take it as your saying it so what was it for you about the conservatives that gave you a lot of confidence and as you say Mel strong I did very well 32095 votes plus 1.21.2 to quite a few of labor by the look of it what was it you were voting for really Patricia when you put that cross in a box with voting for. It's difficult to quantify but I felt maybe it was. Politicians tell lies. And I'm sure they do bend the truth time. And grow into sayings but. If you look under that premise than what we consume from the opinion from people we don't vote for the to actually make laws and and grow this country what you mean they're telling lies is while we got the politicians Janet what it was too is saying so you're saying that whoever you vote for your including we voted for Mel stride voted for indirectly of course of course Johnson you're saying they would lie is well you know I mean a lot I say yes I'm not what I'm saying is. They and Baelish all. I don't want to say that anybody liason relate but how many times do we find in newspapers embellished the truth in. The media we're talking about politicians themselves I mean has been going to stunt show amount Boris Johnson in this campaign about his notion of the truth but you think you're happy with I don't think it's Ok I'm saying that politicians are politicians what will he have to do Patricia Paul from Bracks let's leave that to one side apart from bricks what would Boris Johnson have to do to prove to you he was telling the truth he has to make sure that people in this country who are on . Minimum wages or even not not on 10 are job they must be supporting people like he must be supporting the house you must be supporting the police for but it's no good just throwing money at it you have to find out what those this is really bred in 8 because my husband worked in the house of this for a long time and he knows how much money gets wasted. So it's a whole whole different raft of things not just story in there but it's like covering somebody an award absolutely like amazed and the buck stops with them and that's what I'm saying and and in the crazy force that everybody can be seen to be respond you know people in charge are responsible for what. Goes Cory done right been good to talk to you thank you for joining us today as Patricia intemperance Mary I'm going to cut David in a minute David if you can just hang on because Dave's implement the No he wants to talk but we had some talk today about the economy and particularly about the national debt I think it was and else in the news was looking at all these facts and figures and it was a little bit confusing so I said Can we get hold of an economist and we'd much find one called Martin Doris' based on Guernsey Martin hello. Hello thank you so. Taking our surprise cool and offering it to help us out fingers crossed you can it's a very simple premise but I know the answer is more complicated than that the premise was whether or not the national debt is bigger and now under the Conservatives than what they took on from labor we've had a caller say it was a caller say I think it was is and it isn't and I know it also is hinged around inflation isn't it. That's right I mean one thing you can look at is what is the center of that compared to g.d.p. So this is something which should expect to be constant if no one change policy it will go out if people are spending too much money spending will make an awful lot yeah and they would go to an estate or a saving for a rainy day and the key thing is I think from 2005 to 2010 the g.d.p. As sorry as a percentage of g.d.p. Really shot up you went from 4 to 40 percent up to about sort of 80 percent and. Trying to sort of fight the past under the Labor Party went to China and then Gordon Brown went Ok so when I'm home about what I felt. That's right and then it basically stabilized and has started to only just started to turn downwards from Sir 2016 on Woods So there's attempts to to bring it back in control source it in the context of a global recession. So it's yeah I mean it's been sort of austerity has basically kept the ratio the percentage of of g.d.p. Constant but obviously you'd like to get it down faster and the perhaps closer to what Germany's been doing because Germany was about the same level as the u.k. In 2012 and they they brought it down to closer to 60 percent today so if we were if we were really doing well we're actually reported further France on their hands let's go. Now to close to 100 percent g.d.p. Sorry interesting and very clear I'm delighted to say really and so so your thing to look at the actual amount. Say was whatever 1000000000 then and whatever 1000000000 now that's. Meaningless it's mauling i.c.d. Percent reduced sentence is the important thing right right so is coming to Wal-Mart and I think we'll give you a call again of every Georgia Crystal actually or even I can understand. That from a song on. We both benefited today thank you have so much for that matter but there are a couple things think economic. Forces got some incredible challenges ahead I have a can of win over Scotland well against his will to win over all the Labor voters voted for their wanting I think government. These are challenges that boss is going to face when we're going to let some economic commitments as well hasn't he he's made some promises to spend some money that's right so you know but the public can see it Beeston in construction in the public sphere based in connectivity investment between the regions and those politically he's run some came to the Scots to keep them happy so that's that's my prediction Martin I'm going to throw this one at you know I'm not sure but this is your bag or not we've had an anonymous text saying Yeah exactly tell your envious school is the richest one percent contribute 26 percent of time. Is that right. I would expect for them to contribute a lot more than a real thing else and I think that's probably an understatement you. 3 certainly the richest members or the community probably probably provides a lot more actually in terms of tax take. And also they provide employment as well so that I don't think identity is quite sad to say I think you have a very influenced understand why someone would feel like a swell feel the other white she there all some very big name companies out there that perhaps all paying as much taxes as some people would like them to but that's Boris Johnson just so what about now isn't it well you know that she and other really good question Bill at the top or not so today I think we've covered sufficient ground Martin thank yous been happy to continue to chase us Malton dory He's an economist and a nice clear one which is a must say an honest text saying this is a general election not a Bracks we'll live with will accompanies the often ready deal David you've been so patient in Plymouth I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get to you how low are you how are you feeling today did you get what you wanted thank you in late Palazzi I did get what I would but I quite expected to reach out I was or was expecting this result for months and months and months. No one or that to say it oh I think it. I know a lot of people say we voted to come back we should occur about but but I think most people did learn a lot more in the last couple years I think what we shoot it down we should a correctly had another vote on whether we come in and Europe if we stay if we wanted to come out then we could stay calm but we come out and we voted to stay and we had to come down I don't think it should have been mixed up with the election because when you vote so you would have supported another or another referendum right and make a sewer that if you say out it's out it it's in and the people who say all. We voted to come out they've all got the right to say to come again you know what I mean to is not undemocratic is it but he's a bit more complicated if we had another vote now surely it would be starry night change no deal or deal so it would that would be tricky wouldn't it there would be and then that would the leave focus of I think that if a straightforward people would say we thought it once why do we need to vote again where is democracy yet but I don't think most of us I know I didn't and I'm quite interested in politics most people didn't know what they were really vote for they they they take out on the show and they say we Dade when you examine votes in full I mean they thought as a matter of all we will be paying all that money to you it but we do pay a lot of money to you if we do get a lot like that man federally alone and I think this point Roy Cole will get far more of you up to what they paid in because they were the poorest part of one of the poorest parts to you of thought David I want to bring it back to today how you voted and where you are you a human son and doesn't pull Well I can't I tend to vote Labor but I'm not a man left the Labor are mean I'm a Middle East type person going yeah I don't want to follow the liberals but what I like to see this coming while I think people and many people believe what they see of it are always believe that boy is. As a person is very similar to the American chap a. Donald Trump dilute some I know I believe if you look at Donald Trump he stood up you know I believe in this I believe in the we're going to do this good and people like that is positivity and so I went to Jeremy cool big guy wrong then it doesn't look positive to see it so it's always always on the back he's always on and I know they were always attacking him they will always attack him in certain popular members of the press but tack him and he is always his only one is sort of and I think to piece air he was doing he was saying too much he should have said look you know you know service in the police and but on think all this talk about national nice noise ation he shouldn't 'd left it out because he could have said we . Have a look at it but I think to go back to do that would a proxy I should imagine it would cost a lot of money wouldn't it and we've been down that road before everybody like you know it's a big get to talk to me we must be going to have to say very briefly say that the labor people in general can't complain about the conservatives when I'm as if they are I feel all of that is in bars Johnson even though you're allowed to vote yet but I'm not a Labor left winger if you know me so should the Labor Party go back some time and so manifest but what I will like to say is very briefly if anyone says oh the concert is going with the big It's actually the labor people have voted the concert isn't it Boris Johnson acknowledged that very thing this morning in his speech outside Downing Street. 108-081-0134 fifth's I'm losing the power of speech 3 hours how do you do it every day I. Sense is that we. Will see you out want to talk full Waltz when you have a star I'm sorry I'm just found something tweeter. Side gets one of the lots of things to me and I know it's great and I shouldn't be in that on the program today basically for an entire time hour we're going to be talking to a show of hands what a fantastic change from all the politics all the disappointment over so that's why I'm sorry let's have a breather Let's talk to great musicians about their 25th album Oh my goodness we really did you know and they're out and about so I'll be talking to if he's listening double 01 from the rifles I'll explain that comment later on and what they're doing obviously we got the civil Folk Festival gearing up for next year as well where we're taking a look at term Well look at other things around the county what else we can distract ourselves with today because I think we've all politics out haven't we no I want more. I'm sure people will be bringing us the update from 5 if there's anything else happening because things are changing but sounds really excellent is lovely. Nice you do this with me on that this side of the desk and you on the other so it's pretty strange especially with wish to find out Ok time. Thank you have a 7. B.b.c. Radio exam. Let's get. To Ben Bradshaw the labor m.p. For Exeter the 2nd longest serving m.p. After Gary Streeter in Devon got into the seat $997.00 Ben thanks for spending some time with us certain Now you did so you did great but the vote was a bit down wasn't that yes I mean wonderful to have had such a good result. Of the circumstances the 2nd best result we have had in this city. Percent of the vote which I didn't get at the Hague I did not use. Devastated by what's happened to the party nationally we've lost a lot of very very good colleagues overnight through no fault of their own. Then it's really important that after this election we learn the lessons of why we lost which I'm afraid we failed to do both 20152017 you've been very strong in your condemnation of Jeremy Corbin quite a way back I seem to remember not so much in recent times I remember you saying to me if we went to an election now and I can this is couple of years ago we would be slaughtered that slaughter seems to have taken place now and you were right. Yes it doesn't give me any pleasure to say that although after he surprised the pundits in 2017 actually on the vast majority the poverty party very loyal intercourse of Germany has I'm sure all been elected twice by the membership it's the membership to elect the leader in our party and I just hope that now and the membership after 4 successive election defeat on the stand that is not just good enough to feel good about somebody or think that you quite like what they say you need to really satisfy yourself that the person you are voting for has got the ability and the capability to be prime minister when this general election is there is no point of being in politics is a completely futile exercise of being in politics even if we're just a debating society in the Labor Party we are a party of government and heavens knows this country desperately needs a Labor government at the moment and we're facing another 5 years of Tories on the Boris Johnson the hard or No Deal Grex it because of our failure in the leadership needs to. Take responsibility for what what can the National Party learn from the model that you've created in Exeter What's your secret. Well we'll next have turned what used to be a very safe fairly safe conservative state almost throughout its whole history with one brief exception into what people most most people are considered to be a quite quite a secure laborously by a combination of moderate center left politics both in my case but also the case of the axle Labor Party in the city council and how the city council is run but also a very very strong campaigning culture we campaign all year round we probably campaign harder than any other local Labor Party in the country we stay in regular touch with our voters we know what they're thinking they know what that we know what their concerns are and that is how you win elections and I have issues repeated potations to labor leaders since Miliband and including Jeremy Corbin to come and see how we have done that in Mexico to no avail I'm afraid and I hope our next leader understands that wherever you have a Labor government again we need to win more seats like Exeter we need to win seats from the conservatives and hold those seats we know how to do it come on down and find out have last point are they going to have to go back to the Tony Blair New Labor model which of course was the start of your time as an m.p. 997 another question off the back of that and who's the next leader going to pay. It's not about going back to anything John that we need to move forward into the future I mean the Tony Blair era for all this success is quite a long time ago now the challenges we face as a country now are many of them are significantly different the huge challenge of climate change growing inequality and what I believe will be the chaos and damage coming out of this Tory Breck's it but I think we do need to understand as a party that you can only win elections if you have perhaps broad appeal to the voters the simple fact is our appeal hasn't been broad enough only plus side all of the moderate Labor M.P.'s country 2 was a lot of people predicted Hobson Vives those who have lost their seats unlike in the conserve is where the moderate Tory M.P.'s of all the courage to have left voluntarily and we have a lot of lot of great talent on the labor benches and columns and I'm sure that a number of people who could do an excellent job at taking our county for hopefully to victory at the next election but it's far too soon to say who that person might be Ben thanks for joining us today from not just spend broncho labor m.p. For x. It's a 53.2 percent of the vote next in line was John Grey from the Conservatives 34.7 percent of the vote bans majority was down about 8.8 percent less have a bit of a breather for a piece of music and we'll wrap it all up before we get to the knees at 1 o'clock and then faces with you. Did you bring. Us. The latest. Thank you. It is not. Illegal It is massive illegal it's a law to. Me. It's an illegal. It's. The. Eldest son. Told. It is meant to. Be. Meant to be a baby on the Florida Georgia Line Let's wrap it up for now an extraordinary night nationally and also in Devon Devon's and pays have been giving their actions to b.b.c. Radio definite any about their win but the astonishing picture nationally and just remind you what that is with just one seat left to declare the conservatives have $364.00 M.P.'s labor $203.00 the s.n.p. $48.00 Liberal Democrats 11 and their leader choice wins in the last her seat on the d u p 8 it's the largest Tory majority since $987.00 Geoffrey Cox was the government's attorney general at the heart of the legal debate over Bracks it was reelected to his seat in torch in West Devon he expressed his surprise at the scale of the conservative win in constituencies throughout the country which I visited including ignorant Origen with staff in the those who told me that they were voting conservative for the 1st time because they did not feel that the other parties were respecting their vote and democracy and so on I wasn't surprised that we won I have to say I was a bit surprised about the scale of it yes I think I think that that was a conscious and decided decisive rejection of what had been going on for the last 2 and a half years and I must say also a rejection of the extreme left wing policy program that they simply didn't believe that Labor could deliver one of Devon's longest serving M.P.'s is Gary St Infoseek he is the longest serving just a just a bit ahead of Ben Bradshaw not Gary St to win the Southwestern seat once again it's the highest regard have ever had and I'm very grateful to them in place and I trust they want to get in. I think we were hitting the right issues that this people this region did vote to leave the e.u. It didn't want a korban led Labor government a surprising amount of strong support for everyone. And I think the domestic agenda will investing and once again heavily in our public services our schools our hospitals. You know infrastructure I think it resonated I got to be so we got tonight one of 3 new M.P.'s to take up their seat in the House of Commons is Simon job he took over from Hugo Swan as a conservative candidate for East Devon and want to comfortable majority over the independent candidate Clare Wright he told us why he thought he'd won I think a clear message and that is that in order to get over the paralysis in Parliament we need to get done a move on with people's priorities in Lang's here that means properly funding our community hospitals making sure more bobbies on the beat any step up and also making sure the education funding is improved while I know the prime minister made it really clear to all we need to do very quickly is get the withdrawal act through parliament so we can get it done and the paralysis and make Parliament work for the people again another fresh face at Westminster is conservative Solenn sucks but he was on this program earlier she's become the 1st female m.p. For North Devon with a big majority of nearly 15000 votes people I met recently very keen that we did deliver on our commitment to get back to Don and there's a lot of other things that people up here again that were able to get done and progress projects such as improving our link right into labor in our new hospital in stable and I think it's these projects on top of knowing that we're going to move forward from parliament that No 7 constituency did fight to leave the European Union and 2016 and I'm committed to deliver what this constituency did Office today meanwhile Exeter's labor m.p. Ben Bradshaw was celebrating retaining his seat we heard from him a little earlier on the show as well he said though it was a time to reflect on Labor's very poor performance nationally feel pleased to have held in Exeter but I feel devastated. For all of my great colleagues who have lost their seats tonight this was a catastrophic night for labor and we must learn the lessons of this defeat in a way that we didn't learn the lessons of our last 2 to fix in 20172015 if we're going to be an effective opposition and a credible government waiting it's about the collective failure of the Labor leadership who were brought us to this catastrophe gifting Boris Johnson's conservatives probably the worst prime minister I can remember in my lifetime not popular with the voters a tall but the voters didn't feel they could vote for us and the labor m.p. For the Sutton Devonport Luke Pollard also kept his seat but Mr Pratt she was comments really happy that I've managed to get reelected but actually quite sad about the grim results that my party's had nationwide I was hoping that we would have a Labor government that would end austerity but sadly we've got a Tory government that it's been going to continue it for the next 5 years at least and that is something that is heartbreaking I think we need to reflect on what's happened there were lots of people in this campaign right across from if you were aching to vote Labor but they weren't able to because of their leadership and I think we need to reflect on that Jeremy Corbett has announced that he will be standing down that's the right thing to do and now we need a new generation of M.P.'s to step forward to listen rebuild and refresh our party that's it for me thank you all very much indeed for your contributions and the 3 hour special general election phone in this morning have a great afternoon and I'll see you on Monday back to 1 o'clock the south dad. Says. That he. Was shocked and. I did I b.b.c. Sounds the sound of Deborah b.b.c. Radio. As far as. With 7 sneezer one I Victoria Mitzi Boris Johnson has vowed to unite the country after leading the conservatives their most divisive decisive election victory since Margaret Thatcher years but with all but one constituency declared the Tories have 3 $164.00 seats a majority of $79.00 many of the new M.P.'s were elected at the expense of labor which source support crumble in areas once regarded as its heartlands Mr Johnson also restated his pledge to get Breck's it done this morning he made a trip to Buckingham Palace as our Political Correspondent Chris Mason reports it's the final stop of a general election campaign every party leader dreams of an audience with the Queen and an invite to form a government Boris Johnson has returned to Downing Street with a Commons majority the conservatives haven't seen in around 3 decades nearly 14000000 votes a net gain of 47 seats and breakthroughs in places long seen as unwinnable by the Tories Burnley Blythe Valley Workington Wrexham and many more addressing supporters this morning Mr Johnson acknowledged some may only have learned to use their vote he added he would never take voters support for granted Labor lost $59.00 seats ending with a total of $203.00 Jeremy Corbyn said he wouldn't stand down after a period of reflection but many of his M.P.'s called on him to resign immediately the labor m.p. Day Margaret Hodge said voters just didn't have confidence in Mr trusts for the national security of the nation I got a lot of that on the doorstep so they couldn't trust Mr Corbin but looking after them and then a final saying I think which we still have to reflect on.
