The new intake of MPs head to Parliament after being victorious last week.

With all results across the county now declared, the BBC live page for the election results for Dorset has now ended.

Please follow all the latest general election results here.

It was a bad night for Conservatives in Dorset.

Tobias Ellwood lost his seat to Labour's Tom Hayes in Bournemouth East.

After 14 years at the helm, Richard Drax lost his place in Dorset South

He was beaten by Labour's Lloyd Hatton who polled 15,659 votes, gaining a majority of 1,048.

Connor Burns was ousted in Bournemouth West as Jessica Toale from Labour was successful.

There was a glimmer of joy for the Conservative's Simon Hoare who held on to his seat in North Dorset

Mid Dorset and North Poole was close but Liberal Democrat candidate Vikki Slade took the win.

By far the narrowest call in the county came in Poole, where votes were counted four times.

It was a big shock in a constituency which had been held by the Conservative's Sir Robert Syms for 27 years, as he lost out to Labour's Neil Duncan-Jordan, who had a majority of just 18 votes.

Another narrow Labour victory - Neil Duncan-Jordan has taken the seat of Poole from the Tories overturning a majority of 18,608.

After a number of recounts, it has been declared Duncan-Jordan won the seat by just 18 votes.

We have three more constituencies left to declare - two in Scotland and one in Essex.

Labour has narrowly won in Poole after votes were counted four times.

It is a big change for the constituency which has been led by Conservative party candidate Sir Robert Syms for 27 years.

Neil Duncan-Jordan, the Labour candidate for the area, won the seat with a majority of just 18 votes, on a night where his party won the UK general election with a landslide victory.

There has been a third recount in Poole as candidates wait to hear their fate.

That makes four counts so far.

The seat has been held by the Conservatives' Sir Robert Syms for 27 years.

Neil Duncan-Jordan is the Labour candidate for the constituency.

Following the election of Vikki Slade, leader of BCP Council, as MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, a spokesperson for the authority said:

“Council officers and cabinet are working through how this appointment may impact the council going forward.

"We will provide a further update in due course.

“Council services will, of course, continue as usual.”

Edward Morello polled more than 26,000 votes as the Lib Dems swept to victory in West Dorset - the first liberal win in the area for more than a century.

The Lib Dems have won West Dorset after Edward Morello overturned a Conservative majority of more than 14,000.

He said the unseating of Chris Loder was a "huge result" for the party - the first liberal MP in the area for 139 years.

It follows the party's taking control of Dorset Council in local elections earlier this year.

Penny Mordaunt lost in Portsmouth North while Tobias Ellwood also lost his Bournemouth East seat.

Anxious faces at Poole in Dorset where they are on a recount after Labour and Conservative ended just four votes apart.

Conservative Sir Robert Syms has held the seat for 27 years and jokes it’s never been so interesting before.

Labour candidate Neil Duncan-Jordan says every doorstep conversation is replaying in his head as he thinks about single votes he could have won.

The count has gone on so long the press room has had to be cleared for a morning art class - a nude life drawing session…

And the count only moved here because a cheerleading convention had booked the usual venue. They know how to live in Dorset!

A full recount is being held in Poole with apparently just six votes separating the candidates.

Conservative Robert Syms is defending a majority of more than 16,000.

The Lib Dems have won their first seat of this election in Dorset.

BCP council leader Vikki Slade took the Mid Dorset and North Poole seat with 21,442, beating the migration minister Michael Tomlinson into second place with a majority of 1,352.

She overturned a Conservative majority of more than 16,000 and remarkably there was no Reform candidate standing that would split the Conservative vote.

It's Vikki Slade's fourth attempt at winning the seat - a hugely significant result for her personally and it raises the question of what she will do with her council responsibilities.

“We have made history here today,” said Labour’s Tom Hayes after winning Bournemouth East.

“We have done it over many, many months - volunteers knocking on doors, dropping off leaflets, many conversations about people’s hopes and concerns, and we’ve listened and we will not let you down.”

Both Bournemouth seats went to Labour for the first time, with Jessica Toale taking Bournemouth West, unseating Conservative Conor Burns.

Conservative Simon Hoare has held on to his seat in North Dorset, with his majority slashed from more than 23,000 to 1,589.

He said he was “very relieved and very pleased” at retaining his seat.

He admitted it had been a "bruising election" for the Tories.

"There is a cycle in politics - parties go down and rebuild and resurrect themselves and march on.

"I hope we will provide some constructive opposition.

"The country has moved noticeably to the left - you don't attract votes by lurching to the right," he added.

Speaking before the results began to come through in Dorset, Sir Christopher Chope gave his assessment of the Conservative Party

Both seats in Bournemouth have gone to the Labour Party for the first time.

In Bournemouth East Tom Hayes of Labour polled 18,318, ahead of former government minister Tobias Ellwood's 12,837 votes.

In Bournemouth West, Jessica Toale unseated Conservative Conor Burns, with a majority of 3,224.

She told supporters: "We did it!"

"We have run a relentlessly positive campaign and we should all be very proud of that," she said.

Other recent Labour gains from the Conservatives include:

• Camborne and Redruth
• North East Derbyshire

Conservative Richard Drax has lost his seat in Dorset South after 14 years.

He was beaten by Labour's Lloyd Hatton who polled 15,659 votes, gaining a majority of 1,048.

Speaking after the declaration, Mr Hatton said: "I want to thank the good people of South Dorset who put their trust in me

"Its a huge responsibility - I will work night and day to represent you. I will try my best to be a local champion for our community," he said.

He said voters "could not stomach" another five years of Conservative rule.

Bournemouth East has voted for Labour, meaning a loss for the Conservative incumbant, Tobias Ellwood
