This has proved to be one of the most dramatic elections in recent memory.

As the results continue to pour in, the Conservatives and the SNP are the winners with Labour and the Lib Dems the losers.

The full picture of how the political map of the UK has changed should be known by this afternoon.

Is it a new dawn in Northern Ireland's political landscape? That's for others to say but the difference in the BBC NI newsroom from last night can be measured by the discarded junk food wrappers, empty coffee cups and more-caffeinated-than-usual journalists hoping for sleep.

The Irish News tweets, external that the UUP is going to mud wrestle to decide who is the Assembly group leader - that's according to Mike Nesbitt.

Sinn Fein MP for Mid Ulster Francie Molloy celebrating earlier with party colleagues Ian Milne MLA and Stormont agriculture minister Michelle O'Neill.

In his speech, Mr Molloy said: "This constituency changed dramatically when Martin McGuinness first defeated Willie McCrea and I understand that Willie is on the run again.

"Another constituency has said time to move on so I will send him a letter to explain what it's all about."

With Sinn Féin losing Fermanagh and South Tyrone, that changes the wider UK picture slightly.

The finishing line - the total number of seats needed for an effective majority - now increases by one, to 324, from the last parliament because the number of abstaining MPs has fallen.

Just realised it's light outside. Now it's all over in Omagh it could be time for a dip before breakfast.

It was a 530 majority for Tom Elliott. He says Sinn Fein asked for a recount and the returning officer decided not to "because the margin was too great".

On a Westminster deal, Mike Nesbitt, who was at the count centre in Omagh, said the party certainly will not be rushing to sit down with the DUP.

That's it - all votes have been counted, biscuits munched, coffee glugged and we have Northern Ireland's 18 MPs.

The DUP loses a seat in South Antrim, but gains East Belfast; Alliance loses its only MP in Naomi Long; Sinn Féin loses Fermanagh and South Tyrone; and the UUP goes from zero MPs to two.

"Issues to fight, mountains to climb," says Michelle Gildernew, leaving the Omagh count.

Michelle Gildernew thanks the "thousands of people" (23,078) who voted for Sinn Fein: "I believe that vote represents people of all faiths and none and I am proud and humbled to have been chosen by those people in Fermanagh South Tyrone."

Mickey Brady tweets, straight after winning the Newry and Armagh seat:

Mickey Brady, the new Sinn Féin MP for Newry and Armagh keeps it short and sweet in his victory speech.

"We have won with an increased vote. I am replacing Conor Murphy, I am so proud to do that and I will carry on the good work.

"On a personal level, it's a bit of history."

The Ulster Unionist Tom Elliott looks delighted to have taken Fermanagh and South Tyrone from Sinn Fein.

He says: "This is not a green constituency. It doesn't belong to Bobby Sands.

"It belongs to the people of Fermanagh and South Tyrone and that is who I intend to represent."

Sinn Féin asked for a recount but was refused says Michelle Gildernew.
