Watch DUP leader Arlene Foster's reaction to Nigel Dodds losing his North Belfast seat to Sinn Féin's John Finucane.

Nigel Dodds, a noted orator in Westminster, has given a robust outgoing speech.

Outlining his record in the constituency on jobs, housing, and health, he noted new MP John Finucane had made "no acknowledgement... of our role over that period".

He congratulated Mr Finucane on his victory, but said he regretted "the fact however, that North Belfast will be left unrepresented in the House of Commons at a very challenging time".

The DUP deputy leader also used his speech to call for the reestablishment of Stormont.
