The Conservatives have won at least 326 seats in Thursday's election – an absolute majority in the UK Parliament. Here are some key takeaways:Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Conservative party will now take a commanding majority into the next five-year Parliament. With a manifesto that was light on detail, little is known about what Johnson is planning to do, beyond taking Britain out of the European Union.

During a disastrous evening, leader Jeremy Corbyn has said he would stand aside before the next election. One MP has already thrown her hat into the ring to succeed the Labour leader. Jess Phillips, a centrist MP who has been a frequent critic of Corbyn's leftist movement, suggested she will stand in a future leadership contest.It was an extremely successful election for the Scottish National Party who are on course to win most of the 59 seats in Scotland.

Labour and the Liberal Democrats split the vote in the Cities of London and Westminster, leading to the defeat of Labour defector Chuka Umunna, who had criticized Jeremy Corbyn's leadership and left to join the Lib Dems.
