However Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn – who comfortably retained his constituency of Islington North says Theresa May should be stepping down.

In the North – the SDLP and the UUP have lost all their seats in Westminster at the expense of the DUP and Sinn Fein.

The DUP gained two seats and their 10 MP’s could now form part of a hung parliament.

Sinn Fein was the other clear winner claiming 7 seats.

Despite losing all three of their seats in Parliament the SDLP Leader Column Eastwood says he’s not making any rash decisions.

The election result’s cast uncertainty on Brexit negotiations.

Germany’s deputy foreign minister Michael Roth has warned time can’t be wasted in the talks, which are due to start in 10 days.
