The Tories win their biggest majority since the 1980s, as Jeremy Corbyn says he will not lead Labour into the next election, and Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson loses her seat.

The Labour First Minister of Wales has congratulated Boris Johnson on his election victory, but urges him to remember the Conservatives are "only the largest party in one of the four nations" of the UK.

Labour MP Anna McMorrin, who retained Cardiff North, said she blamed Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn for the party's election defeat.

She told the PA news agency: "In the last few weeks of the campaign we knocked on around 15,000 doors, and a large proportion of those people we spoke to, the issue was Jeremy Corbyn.

"He's shown tonight that he's lost good, decent, hardworking members of parliament up and down the country, who are needed for this country to rebuild and to ensure that we're protected and represented and that we create a fairer society.

"That can't happen now, and I think the only person who can take responsibility is is our leader."

Asked if Labour lost traditional seats like Wrexham because of Mr Corbyn, Ms McMorrin said: "I think so."

Asked if she wanted to see Mr Corbyn stand down as leader immediately, she said: "Yeah, I think we need to rebuild quickly now, or start the process at least of rebuilding the party."

The Welsh Lib Dems president has admitted they misjudged their Brexit stance.

William Powell told BBC Radio Wales: "The Revoke policy didn't command the level of support we had anticipated."

He said he was disappointed not to have claimed a fifth seat in Ynys Mon, adding: “I’m really concerned about what it means for Wales now”.

The political map of Wales has changed enormously. Aside from the single seat of Alyn & Deeside, Labour has been vanquished from north Wales.

The Conservatives are celebrating a return to their high watermark of 1983 when they held 14 seats in Wales, Boris Johnson’s Brexit message resonated among Welsh Labour leave voters.

But many Welsh Labour sources say Jeremy Corbyn was a major factor in turning off the party’s traditional supporters.

They will also question the approach of their Welsh leader Mark Drakeford.

Should he have done more to “Welshify” this election and distinguish Welsh Labour from the UK party? Was that even achievable given the dominance of the two characters of Mr Corbyn and Mr Johnson?

The Liberal Democrats will rue the day they pushed for this election – their hubris has been mercilessly punished.

And Plaid will breathe a big sigh of relief that they hung on to two ultra marginals, and were let off the hook by a split leave vote in Carmarthen East. Coming third in their target seat of Ynys Mon is a blow that leaves them at the status quo of 4 seats.

David Davies has been re-elected as the MP for Monmouth, with an increased majority.

The Conservative candidate beat Labour's Yvonne Murphy by 9,982 votes, 1,776 more votes than the majority at the 2017 election.

Alison Willott of the Liberal Democrats came third and the Green Party's Ian Chandler came fourth.

It's been a very bad night for Labour, and a very good one for the Conservatives in Wales - with the former almost wiped out in the north east.

The Conservatives didn't take everything it had its eyes on - Gower and Cardiff North saw Labour candidates fend off their Tory rivals. But the party scored historic gains in many of its target seats - six have turned from red to blue.

Labour does have more than half of Wales' 40 MPs, at 22, but they are almost entirely are concentrated in the south Wales.

The result is the biggest challenge to Labour's dominant position in Welsh politics since the 1980s, and it is the Conservatives' biggest achievement in Wales since the days of Margaret Thatcher.

It puts the party in a decent position for the 2021 assembly elections - although they're a different kettle of fish. Former Welsh Assembly Tory leader Andrew RT Davies has warned against reading one poll into another.

How did Plaid Cymru fare? They will be disappointed the party could not take Ynys Mon where the Remain pact failed to bear fruit.

Plaid has not gained any ground, but has held all four of its seats in a campaign dominated by the two major parties.

And the Liberal Democrats? Jane Dodds left the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election count triumphant in August. But with no Brexit Party opposition she has been ousted by the Conservatives, leaving the party with no seats in Wales.

Stephen Doughty has been re-elected as the MP for Cardiff South & Penarth, with a decreased majority.

The Labour candidate beat Conservative Philippa Broom by 12,737 votes, 2,127 votes less than the majority at the 2017 election.

Dan Schmeising of the Liberal Democrats came third and Plaid Cymru's Nasir Adam came fourth.
