There are now 207 women in the Commons, up from 197 before the snap poll - setting a new record.

About 30% of candidates were women this year - up from the previous record of 26% in 2015. However, the actual number of women standing was down from 1,036 to 983.

Nick Clegg will be saying goodbye to Westminster, but who will be returning?

Now the voting is over, it is time for a new kind of count - a calculation of what a hung parliament means for your finances.

Uncertainty abounds yet, even in its infancy, we know that the government - whoever forms it and however it operates - will make changes that will have a significant impact on your finances.

This will have permutations for pay, decisions determining the length of our working lives and, of course, a new relationship with the European Union that will affect our financial outlook as a nation and individually.

So, what might change and when?

All day today, BBC Radio 5 live's reporters are hearing your stories from around the country.

Julie Bell is at work this morning at a café in Thornaby. Her husband is a retired steel worker. In her constituency of Stockton South, Labour have taken the seat from the Conservatives.

She told reporter Fiona Trott she believed the Labour win was down to the younger voters."There's a lot of young people I work with, who work in this café here, who voted Labour," she said.

Julie has been a Labour voter all her life and voted Labour this time, but she did consider voting Conservative.

"I was in two minds about Theresa May because I do believe she's the stronger one, but I voted Labour because I'm working class and I think Labour are for us, and I think Theresa May's for the rich people, not the down-to earth people."

Conservative MP Nigel Evans has said his party's election campaign was an "absolute disaster" but that Theresa May should remain as prime minister.

Mr Evans told the BBC he supported a coalition deal between the Conservatives and the Democratic Unionists (DUP) in order to begin the Brexit talks.

But Mr Evans said his party had derailed its own campaign and its manifesto "had steered it straight towards the iceberg", with the proposals on social care doing the most damage.

There were, he said, "big questions" about the "bear traps" in the manifesto and whether the plans should have been shown to "older and wiser Cabinet members" before it was announced.

He said: "We hijacked our own campaign and from then on it was an absolute disaster."

Labour Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell says the country is “in a bit of a mess at the moment” over Brexit, after the general election resulted in a hung parliament.

McDonnell, who retained his seat in Hayes & Harlington, said Labour were prepared to form a minority government following result and that they would seek to “change the tone” on Brexit.

“The style of negotiations isn’t the one where you bang the table and throw tantrums in the way that we’ve seen from Theresa May – you seek to secure what is in the mutual interest," he said.

The BBC's political research unit has been looking at the projected results and doing the arithmetic to work out whether the Conservatives or Labour could get enough votes to get their laws passed.

If the projections are correct, the Conservatives would have enough support in parliament if they secured the backing of the DUP:

• Conservatives: 319
• DUP: 10

Total: 329 seats

But a progressive alliance behind Labour would fall short:

• Labour: 261
• SNP: 35
• Liberal Democrats: 12
• PC: 4
• Green: 1

Total: 313

Standing down as UKIP leader, Paul Nuttall said he was "confident" his party had a "great future" as the "guard dogs of Brexit".

UKIP lost their only MP, in Clacton, in Thursday's vote. And Mr Nuttall came third behind the Conservatives and Labour in Boston and Skegness.

He resigns with immediate effect, meaning Pete Whittle, London Assembly member is now acting leader.

Dr Matthew Mokhefi-Ashton, politics specialist at Nottingham Trent University, says both wings of the Conservative party will see Theresa May as "weak and vulnerable".

“The only thing that might save her in the short-term is that any potential successor would be thrown headfirst into the complex Brexit negotiation," he says.

"They'd suffer the same problem she did as not having a personal mandate from the country. Given how her gamble turned out, they might not be eager to follow her down that path.

“We can also expect to see Conservative pro-Remain MPs who have felt ignored and bullied over the last year to suddenly start to flex their muscles."
