It was Boris Johnson's victory speech sign-off this morning: "Let's get Brexit done - but first, my friends, let's get breakfast done too".

Home Secretary Priti Patel tweets to show she's doing just that.

I expect Boris Johnson will be having his breakfast after what has been frankly an extraordinary night for him.

I don't think even he could have believed he would achieve this scale of victory, which to me seems on a par with what Margaret Thatcher achieved in 1979 or Tony Blair in 1997.

It's one of those benchmark, landmark election victories which represents a moment of change in the history of this country.

Like Margaret Thatcher and like Tony Blair, Boris Johnson has succeeded in reaching out well beyond his core constituency to attract voters who would normally never support his party.

Campaigner and businesswoman Gina Miller says people were put off voting tactically because they did not want to vote for Jeremy Corbyn.

"He should go," she says. "We have no opposition that somebody feels they can vote for."

She adds that tactical voting did work - but on the Leave side.

The CBI has congratulated Boris Johnson on his return to No 10, but is calling on him to "break the cycle of uncertainty" over Brexit.

The business lobby group's director general, Carolyn Fairbairn, says Mr Johnson now has a "clear mandate to govern" but it is up to the PM to "rebuild confidence in our economy".

“Employers share the prime minister’s optimism for the UK and are ready to play a leading role," she says.

"The biggest issues of our times – from tackling climate change to reskilling the workforce for new technologies – can only be delivered through real partnership between government and business."

But Ms Fairbairn says the "starting point" for this to happen "must be rebuilding business confidence and early reassurance on Brexit will be vital".

Calling for "pro-enterprise policies" around immigration, infrastructure and skills, she adds: "Firms will continue to do all they can to prepare for Brexit, but will want to know they won’t face another no deal cliff-edge next year.

“Despite recent challenges, the UK remains a great place to start and build a business. A new contract between enterprise and government can make the UK a global magnet for investment, powering higher productivity and living standards across the UK.”

What does it mean, get Brexit done? Well, if we're looking at Brexit phase one that will be done under a Boris Johnson government, EU leaders certainly expect, by next month - the UK will leave the EU.

Then starts Brexit stage two, and that is the UK and the EU sitting down together to try to work out a trade deal. Boris Johnson says he wants to be able to do that by December next year.

The EU's response is basically, "well if you want a quick and dirty trade deal, we can give that to you, but it'll have to be on our terms". And then you can ask questions about how much sovereignty, or how much getting back control, will there be if Boris Johnson has to sign up to aligning the UK after Brexit with EU environmental regulations, labour regulations and so on.

What the EU is hoping is that, with a comfortable majority, Boris Johnson will be able to say, "OK, I know I said 2020, but that was a bit too ambitious. Let's give ourselves more time to really get this broad, comprehensive trade deal between the UK and the EU into place".

So they're hoping a bigger majority will mean a softer Brexit from Boris Johnson.

But I've already received a couple of texts from more concerned diplomats in the EU to say "we actually don't know who Boris Johnson is yet". Die Welt newspaper, the German newspaper, says today: "What kind of Boris Johnson is Europe going to get?" They don't know - will it be hard-line, will it be a softer Brexit?

From today, EU leaders are in Brussels at their summit and they'll say: "We're ready and we want to negotiate with you, so let's start."

Conservative Party chairman James Cleverly acknowledges that the UK's future trade relationship with the EU is "not a binary thing", after saying that Brexit is.

Asked about relations with other countries, and specifically whether Prime Minister Boris Johnson will "stand up" to US President Donald Trump, he says that the two men have a "cordial relationship" but adds: "When the British national interest needs to be upheld, the prime minister is happy to do that."

Asked how the Conservatives will keep voters who "loaned" them their votes happy, he says the party will "deliver" on the things they've asked for, including the result of the 2016 EU referendum.

"What we need to do is we need to demonstrate to the people who voted Conservative - perhaps for the first time in their lives, perhaps for the first time in generations - that we take them seriously," he adds, referring to policy pledges in areas such as schools, employment, and transport.

Ian Lavery, the chairman of the Labour party, defends Jeremy Corbyn's decision not to step down as leader immediately, saying the party will have a "post-mortem" into its "disastrous results".

He adds: "It's so disappointing what's happened, bearing in mind the fantastic manifesto we've had, the way people have embraced probably what's been the best manifesto the Labour party has ever produced.

"We'll be discussing it, we'll be letting the dust settle and looking at how we go forward as a party in the next few days or so."

The pound and shares have surged after the Conservatives won a clear majority in the UK general election.

Traders say the result has "removed a layer of uncertainty" and our business editor Simon Jack says the markets have given the prospect of a government with a functioning majority a round of applause.

The national coordinator of grassroots Labour group Momentum, Laura Parker, admits Jeremy Corbyn was "a factor" in Labour's defeat, saying "it would be ridiculous to suggest otherwise" given he is the party leader.

“But what we’ve seen here really is Labour beaten by Brexit," she tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme, repeating a line we've heard from many allies of Mr Corbyn this morning.

She denies claims made earlier by veteran Labour MP Dame Margaret Hodge that Labour has become the "nasty party", adding that "the media frequently hasn’t really been on our side”.

“I do believe that we have broadly speaking got the right policies but clearly something needs to change because we’ve just lost an election," Ms Parker says.

She says the party "could definitely have communicated better" and would have benefited from "a more united parliamentary Labour Party".

“In a way, we had such a broad and ambitious policy offering that I do wonder whether some of it got a little bit lost," she adds.

There was a dramatic twist in the Nottinghamshire constituency of Ashfield - as a former aide to the seat's outgoing Labour MP gained the seat for the Conservatives.

Lee Anderson was the ex-office manager for Labour MP Gloria De Piero but he quit the party and joined the Conservatives in March 2018. He was selected as Tory candidate in July.

Ms De Piero did not stand at the election.

"The majority of votes in Scotland went to parties that are pro-union," says James Cleverly, chairman of the Conservative Party, following Ian Blackford's interview.

He points out that the SNP did not get over half of the vote, and BBC Reality Check's Chris Mason says his stats "do add up".

"The 2014 [Scottish independence] referendum was meant to be a once in a generation referendum," he says.

"My contention, and speaking to Scottish colleagues, is that really the SNP, before they revert back to these calls for another referendum, should probably think carefully about how they sort out the NHS in Scotland and how they reverse the slipping standards in Scottish schools. They have powers that they are not using properly."

"There have been different elections in different parts of the United Kingdom," says Ian Blackford, the leader of the SNP at Westminster

"[The Conservative Party] stood on a platform of saying no to an independence referendum. That didn't work. The SNP won the election convincingly in Scotland," he says.

He adds that Prime Minister Boris Johnson "must listen to the votes of the people in Scotland".

"And he must recognise that the government in Edinburgh has a mandate, is putting forward a bill for a referendum. He can't keep saying no, because all he's going to do is inflame those in Scotland that want to make that choice," he says.

"We can't sit back and allow what is happening to us, being driven out of the European Union against our will... What we've got is the United Kingdom, different parts of the United Kingdom, moving in different directions. This is a constitutional crisis."

Veteran Labour MP Dame Margaret Hodge, a long-standing critic of Jeremy Corbyn, says the party's defeat is "the result of the failure, not just of Mr Cobyn himself, but Corbynism - of the team, of the people, of the project.”

“The people have now spoken and the people have given it a resounding no and we have to listen to that," she tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

On the doorstep, Dame Margaret says the issues which repeatedly came up were criticism of Mr Corbyn, "disbelief" in the "confetti of promises that were being thrown at the public without any clear and honest way in which they were going to be paid" as well as a lack of trust in Labour to protect national security.

Dame Margaret, who is Jewish, also says Labour "has become the nasty party" because of the issue of anti-Semitism.

A year ago she says she was one of four female Jewish Labour MPs, but today "is the last one standing", after two - Luciana Berger and Louise Ellman - were "driven out of the party" and another, Ruth Smeeth, lost her seat.

• Boris Johnson has said "we pulled it off" after securing the biggest Conservative victory since the 1980s.
• He said in a speech that the result means the Brexit "deadlock" will be broken and that he is humbled to have secured the support of former Labour voters. "We will never take your support for granted," he said.
• With almost all 650 seats declared, the Conservatives are on 364 - and will have a majority of 78.
• It's been an awful night for Labour, losing 59 seats - many of them in places the party has held for decades in traditional industrial communities. You have to go back to 1935 to find a worse loss.

• Jeremy Corbyn says he won't fight another election but suggests he's not intending to go anywhere soon.
• The message from Labour HQ has been "Brexit is to blame" - the party has won comfortably in some Remain-backing London seats.
• Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson has lost her seat and the party failed to make gains - Ms Swinson is no longer the party's leader with two interim co-leaders appointed.

• The results are all in for Scotland and it's been a good night for the SNP, who've gained 13 seats, ending up with 48. The political gulf between Scotland and England has widened significantly as Nicola Sturgeon says the result is a "huge mandate for indyref2".
• In Wales, all the seats are declared too and the first three female Conservative MPs have been elected as the party claimed six key seats from Labour.
• The DUP has had a bad night in Northern Ireland, losing two seats, including senior figure Nigel Dodds.

• The Greens have won one seat, Plaid Cymru four and the Brexit Party none.

Reality Check

In his victory speech, Boris Johnson talked about the extra money his government will spend on healthcare.

He said: “We will deliver [a] long-term NHS budget, enshrined in law - £650m extra every week.”

That roughly adds up to an extra £34bn a year. That's how much higher the NHS budget in England will be in cash terms in 2023-24.

But adjusted for inflation, it is worth quite a lot less - just £20.5bn.

There will be an average increase of 3.4% a year, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. That’s less than the average increase the NHS has received over the past six decades.

The second-to-last result of the 2019 general election has been called - a comfortable Conservative hold in Arundel & South Downs.

The final result outstanding, for St Ives, Cornwall, could be some time away after poor weather hampered helicopter flights to retrieve votes cast on the Isles of Scilly. That result could now come on Monday.

There is a striking contrast between Labour's defeat this time and the one in 1983 which might lead one to believe this was the more serious defeat.

What enabled Labour in 1983 to defend itself was that it held its traditional areas of strength.

The striking thing about this election is the way in which Labour performed worse in the north of England, in the Midlands and in working class seats.

There was a lot of speculation in this campaign that surely the workers of Workington and Bishop Auckland could not elect Conservative MPs.

But in 2017 these predominantly Leave-voting areas had already swung pretty dramatically to the Conservatives.

What happened tonight is part two of a two part story - the first part was delivered by Theresa May in 2017.

Boris Johnson has been able to turn that legacy into a valuable currency that has enabled him to get this substantial majority.

Like most of Jeremy Corbyn's allies, Labour Party chairman Ian Lavery, blames "hostility" towards the party's Brexit stance for its defeat.

He tells the BBC Radio 4's Today programme the only difference between the 2017 election and this election is that Labour is now backing another EU referendum.

Mr Lavery says there is a "lack of trust" because Labour promised in its 2017 manifesto to respect the referendum result and many people in white working class communities now feel the party is "trying to block Brexit".

Asked how long Mr Corbyn should remain Labour leader, Mr Lavery says, "Jeremy will assess the situation in the next couple of days and we’ll take it forward from there".

He adds that Mr Corbyn is "a man of real integrity" and will act in "the best interests of the Labour Party".
