Here's a little more from that interview with shadow chancellor John McDonnell earlier. He says that Labour needs to listen to the constituents from the seats that they lost to understand his party's election defeat.

He says: “I think that it wasn’t just Brexit, it’s a long history of maybe 40 years of neglect and them saying to politicians 'you never listen to us and you’ve allowed communities to be run down.'”

Mr McDonnell also called for a debate about the way the media “demonised” leader Jeremy Corbyn with a smear campaign against him, as well as a wider debate about the role of social media and media overall.

He says a character assassination shouldn’t be allowed to dominate politics, adding: “Let’s have an honest debate about the issues. It isn’t about individuals, it’s about policies and analysis.”

Asked who he would back as the next leader, he picks out Rebecca Long-Bailey, Angela Rayner and Richard Burgon, from what he calls the “new generation”.

He adds: “You can see a coalition forming that can give us, I think, the future that this country needs.”

Protests took place in central London on Friday night following Boris Johnson's election victory.

Demonstrators carried signs saying "Defy Tory Rule" and chanted "Oh, Jeremy Corbyn".

The Metropolitan Police said two people were arrested - one on suspicion of assaulting a police officer and another for suspected affray.

Some demonstrators explained why they had taken to the streets.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is about to make a speech in north-east England.

He is visiting one of Labour's traditional heartlands - where the Tory's swept aside Labour to help his party to their biggest election win for 30 years.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell has been reflecting on Labour's crushing defeat at this election, but he insists that he didn’t back the wrong leader in Jeremy Corbyn.

He says: "We could have won in 2017, things moved on, Brexit dominated everything."

On his own future, he says he won’t be part of a future shadow cabinet, adding “we will all go now, the new leader will come in place”.

He says Labour’s ruling body, the National Executive Committee, will meet next week to decide the timetable for a leadership election – and he expects it to be a couple of months.

He says he expects the party to have a constructive debate about what went right and what went wrong and then be ready, but his fear is that “we’re in for a long haul, possibly five years”.

He says they tried to bring the UK together with their Brexit strategy but “it failed, we have to accept that, take it on the chin".

He adds: "We have to own that and then move on. The new leadership coming in – will enable us then to move forward."

Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry has been questioned by reporters as she left her London home about who will replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader.

The MP for Islington South and Finsbury says she is still in “a period of mourning” and the party needs to have a chance to “stop and think” before electing a new leader.

She says she is on the way to her constituency surgery and there is "going to be an awful lot of work in the next five years, given that we’ve got this terrible Tory government coming".

She adds: "I fear that my surgery is going to be very full indeed with people who are getting their benefits cut."

Jeremy Corbyn's sons have paid tribute to their "inspirational" father, saying that to describe them as proud is "a vast understatement".

In a message posted on Twitter by Tommy Corbyn with his brothers, Seb and Benjamin, they said defeat "hurt".

Their father had paid the price for being "honest, humble and good-natured" in the "poisonous world" of politics, with years of "the most despicable attacks filled with hatred", they said.

"His unbelievably broad shoulders and incredibly thick skin endured all of this so that we could all live in the hope of a world free of racism or hunger."

Despite the rejection of his vision by voters, they insisted that its time would come.

"To assume that the ideologies he stands for are now outdated is so wrong. In the coming years we will see that they are more important than ever," they said.

They concluded: "From the three proudest sons on the planet, please continue the fight."

A former head of press at No 10, Giles Kenningham, says the new prime minister has no time to waste if he wants to capitalise on his honeymoon period.

He says: "The key for him now is to move at breakneck speed. Labour are in an existential crisis.

"He's going to have a big honeymoon period. He really needs to make the most of that."

Mr Kenningham contrasts that with former PM Theresa May, who he says squandered her first year of government and "didn't do anything".

He says: "What you'll see now is that relentless focus and, interestingly, he's going up north today - it never stops.

"So whilst victory would have been sweet, he won't have had long to enjoy it."

Sarah Atherton says she wasn't surprised to have become the first ever Conservative MP for Wrexham, taking the seat from Labour.

She says: “From day one, we were getting a really positive response in wards where we wouldn’t have ordinarily got that support and what they were clearly saying is that they want Brexit delivered.

“What they want is that they can move on because all the focus, including here in Wales, is on Brexit – the talk is Brexit 24/7 and people feel that other issues have been neglected.”

Some traditional Labour voters have said they have only lent the Tories their support for this election, and Ms Atherton says she needs to prove to her constituents that she can deliver.

“That’s not just about Brexit, it’s about this closure and healing process and addressing some of those issues we have here in Wrexham.”

She says that voters in Wrexham also turned to her because they could see that NHS services had “deteriorated”.

“That’s one reason why I think now they want change and they’ve gone to the Conservative party. My role will be to try and influence and scrutinise the NHS – as a nurse and social worker I‘ve got the skills to do that."

There are less than two weeks to go before Christmas, so how much can Boris Johnson achieve before then? Here is what we can expect over the next week:

• Mr Johnson is expected to announce a minor government re-shuffle as early as Monday
• MPs will then return to Westminster on Tuesday and begin the process of swearing in
• The Queen formally opens Parliament on Thursday with "reduced ceremonial elements" - it's worth remembering that her last one was just two months ago
• The prime minister has also vowed to reintroduce his Withdrawal Agreement Bill to Parliament before Christmas, which could happen by the end of next week

Fleur Anderson was Labour's only candidate to take a seat from the Conservatives at this general election – a situation that she says she was "very disappointed” about.

The new MP for Putney says: “I expected to be walking into Parliament next week with other new Labour MPs alongside me so this is quite sad for me."

However, she says she is delighted to have won her seat in Putney, where she says they focused on the issues that mattered to the area – Brexit, the NHS and school cuts.

She defends Jeremy Corbyn’s decision not to stand down immediately, saying that is what Tory leaders usually do - and leave their party "in the lurch".

She says an “orderly reflection, taking our time and making sure we do this in a very controlled and responsible way” is absolutely the right thing to do.

Asked about whether the new leader should come from the Corbyn-wing of the party, she says the party needs “someone who will bring us together”, adding that “dividing us up into Corbyn and non-Corbyn” is divisive.

She says the future of Labour is not just about the leader, but about the party as a whole and how "we keep up the fight" against the Conservatives.

Videos about the NHS were the most viral posts on social media during the 2019 general election campaign.

Four of the most viewed and shared videos on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram were about concerns regarding funding and staff levels in the NHS.

We checked video views and shares on Facebook and Instagram using CrowdTangle, a Facebook-owned social media analytics tool that tracks and records public data from Facebook, Instagram and Reddit. We also used Khoros to track data from Twitter.

We looked at videos posted between 29 October - the day the election was called - and 11 December, the last day of campaigning.

We've only tracked the number of views up until the 11th.

Here are some of the most viewed and shared videos of the campaign.

1. Joe Politics video on US healthcare cost:

The Joe website, which has a history of producing viral political videos, approached members of the public on the streets of London with questions about the average cost of calling an ambulance, buying an inhaler or giving birth in the US.

The video has racked up 39.5 million views in total on Facebook and Twitter, making it the most viral piece of digital content in the campaign.

2. 'How many nurses?'

Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan, who was not standing in the election, faced questions about a Conservative manifesto pledge to recruit 50,000 more nurses in England by 2024-25 during an interview on ITV's Good Morning Britain.

She was pressed by presenters Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on whether 19,000 of those would be existing nurses.

Various versions of the video have 13.8 million views in total on Facebook and Twitter.

3. Rob Delaney's support for the NHS

UK-based American comedian and actor Rob Delaney, who is a vocal Labour supporter, featured in a party video about differences between the NHS and the private insurance healthcare system in the US.

Mr Delaney compared his experience in the US, where he faced a hefty bill for surgery following a car accident, with the way his deceased son Henry was treated by the NHS for a brain tumour.

The video was posted on Mr Corbyn's Facebook and Twitter accounts, and has been viewed more than 13 million times.

Here's a bit more from that discussion between MPs Lucy Powell and Dame Margaret Hodge over the future of Labour.

Dame Margaret says her party can’t have the “proper, deep reflection” that it needs under Jeremy Corbyn, who she says hasn’t accepted the real reasons for the defeat.

Mr Corbyn has said he would stay on as leader during a "process of reflection" and will not "walk away" until another leader is elected.

However, Dame Margaret, MP for Barking, says there needs to be a “completely fresh team at the top” for the review of how to “reconnect and build trust” with Labour voters.

“The heart of the Labour party is about representing the people who need us most – we’ve lost that connection and trust. We need a new team at the top, leading the debate and leading the thinking.”

Ms Powell says she agrees to some extent with Dame Margaret, but she worries about having a leadership contest straight away without having processed the messages from this election.

She says: “We are already seeing a factional debate about why was it that we lost – some people want to wholly blame Brexit, others want to wholly blame Jeremy.

“It’s about all those things and much, much more.”

Asked who should be the next leader, Dame Margaret said she didn't have a name but if the party couldn't elect a woman this time "we are not being true to our values and ethics".

Predictions for major scalps this year ranged from the foreign secretary to the prime minister. But in the event, who are the high profile politicians to lose out in the 2019 general election?

Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson

Jo Swinson, who began the campaign saying she was standing to be PM, was emotional as she thanked her family for their support after losing her Dunbartonshire East seat by just 149 votes., external

Following the defeat by the Scottish National Party's Amy Callaghan, Ms Swinson said: "Some will be celebrating the wave of nationalism that is sweeping on both sides of the borders.

"But let me say now, for millions of people in our country these results will bring dread and dismay.

"I still believe that we, as a country, can be warm and generous, inclusive and open and that by working together with our nearest neighbours we can achieve so much more."

Former attorney general Dominic Grieve

Former Conservative Dominic Grieve, who fought many battles against Brexit in the House of Commons, was among those to lose his seat.

He was once the party's attorney general but was kicked out by Boris Johnson earlier this year after he backed a bill to try to stop a no-deal Brexit.

Mr Grieve ran as an independent for his seat of Beaconsfield and won the support of more than 16,000 voters.

But he was beaten by the new Tory candidate Joy Morrissey, who won with 32,477 votes.

DUP deputy leader (and Westminster leader) Nigel Dodds

The Democratic Unionist Party's deputy leader since 2008, Nigel Dodds had been North Belfast MP since 2001, taking the seat from Ulster Unionist Cecil Walker.

But in the early hours of Friday it was announced Mr Dodds had been defeated by Sinn Fein's John Finucane, who received 23,078 votes to Mr Dodds's 21,135.

Mr Finucane said the result showed North Belfast - which had always been a unionist seat - "rejects Brexit".

Mr Dodds, who studied law at Cambridge University, was key in negotiations between his party and both Mr Johnson's and Theresa May's governments in the run up to agreeing a deal with the EU.

Two Labour MPs who did retain their seats at this election - Lucy Powell and Dame Margaret Hodge – have been giving their thoughts on their party’s crushing election defeat.

Ms Powell, the MP for Manchester Central, describes the loss as “like a punch in the stomach”.

She says: “It’s an incredibly painful loss and everyone’s gutted, and sort of on the floor. People aren’t quite at the point of processing that fully yet.”

“It’s a devastating blow – more so because it’s so many of our heartland seats.

"These are places that have voted Labour for a long time and that feels really quite profound."

Dame Margaret Hodge, who has been a vocal critic of leader Jeremy Corbyn, says she has moved from a feeling of depression and sorrow, to a feeling of “anger” because it’s an election Labour should have won.

She says the Labour leadership are now trying to blame the defeat on Brexit, which although “undoubtedly an issue”, she says that is “wrong”.

The main issues on the doorstep were Mr Corbyn’s unpopularity and a lack of trust in Labour’s economic plans, she says.

Anna Turley was one of the Labour MPs who lost her seat as the Conservative party swept aside her party in some of its traditional heartlands.

She has blamed Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership as the reason she lost her seat in Redcar, north-east England.

She says she encountered numerous voters on the doorstep who told her they couldn’t vote for Jeremy Corbyn and that was “a fundamental barrier we couldn’t get across”.

Despite the fact that Redcar voted in favour of Leave, she says the issue of Mr Corbyn as leader was “absolutely” the main reason for her constituents not supporting Labour, rather than the party’s policy on Brexit.

However, she adds: “The issues obviously run deeper than that. The Labour party is bigger than just one person. There were issues around our perception, around competence."

She says her area has been “absolutely hammered” by nine years of austerity, “yet with all of that, people didn’t see Labour as the solution”.

The party should have been able to navigate "both the Remainers and our traditional working class", she says, without having "to go to the right".

About 32 million votes were cast in this election.The turnout was 67.3% of registered voters, which represents a 1.5% drop on the 2017 general election.

The Conservatives won the most seats - 365 - and also the biggest share of votes, 45%, or about 13.9 million.

Labour, who are in second place, have won 203 seats and a 32.2% share, or about 10.3 million votes.

The UK's first-past-the-post voting system means the parties with the most votes may not win the most seats.

That's because the candidate who gets the most votes in their local constituency wins a seat in the House of Commons. Coming a good second, for example, makes no difference to a party's success nationally.

There have been attempts to move the UK to other electoral systems. They include the alternative vote - in which voters rank candidates by order of preference instead of just voting for one. This was rejected by referendum in 2011.

The central element in the Conservatives' election pitch was "get Brexit done" and the prime minister will need to to negotiate a trade agreement with the EU before the end of next year.

Belgian MEP Philippe Lamberts says the Tories want the "deepest possible access" to the European single market, yet they want to "undercut significantly" EU legislation, adding that "you can't have both".

"So either you want total regulatory freedom and you do whatever you like - and if you want to undercut EU legislation then you do it, but then you lose access.

"Or you want access and you have basically to remain aligned with EU legislation - that will be the decision that Boris Johnson will need to make."

Raoul Ruparel, a special adviser on Europe to former PM Theresa May, says an agreement with the EU can be done next year, but may be limited in ambition because it would have to be agreed before the end of the post-Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020.

He says: "The short time frame does limit the level of ambition potentially, because you would be looking at a narrower and shallower deal that you might have otherwise envisaged given the speed needed."

Here is our explainer on whether the UK and EU sort a trade deal in months.

The sister of the murdered Labour MP Jo Cox says she hopes the new Parliament gives the UK an opportunity to move forward from "one of the most toxic and turbulent periods in our political history".

Kim Leadbeater, whose sister was killed in 2016, says the UK has to find a way to come together as a country.

She says: "Going back to when Jo was killed, there was a short period of time after that day when politicians and others said all the right things about doing things differently and treating each other with more compassion and understanding, despite our differences, and that didn't last very long."

She says other opportunities have also been missed but she hopes it will be different this time.

"I really do hope that we can now find a way as a country, with leadership from politicians, to move forward from the toxicity and the turbulence and find, as Boris Johnson said, a sense of healing and a sense of coming together."
