And as ex-labour secretary Iain McNicol says;
We are going to lose a lot of great Labour MPs tonight.
Our communities are going to suffer.
It is heartbreaking.
To those of you who led this campaign, own it.
It is the least you can do. @UKLabour— Iain McNicol (@IainMcNicol) 13 December 2019
Laura Kuenssberg also says it’s astonishing that labour have lost Leigh to the Tories in a tweet;
Labour has lost Leigh in Greater Manchester – that’s astonishing, majority of more than 9k disappears – but Lisa Nandy holds on in Wigan

But a tweet all the way from Canada is supporting the Conservative party;
Conservatives in Canada can learn a lot from the results tonight in the U.K.
Run a real conservative, unafraid to be a real conservative, with a bold personality and strong, simple, punchy message.
If Conservatives can win in a landslide over there, they can do it here 💪

And Matt Hancock (Secretary of State for Health & social care) boasts that;
Of the 5 Conservative gains so far tonight, 2 of our new MPs are NHS employees. We are the party of the NHS
