Cumbria's Chamber of Commerce has sent a list of policies it wants to see to all three of the county's new MPs and the three members who have been re-elected.

The chamber's chief executive, Rob Johnston (pictured), said many businesses had felt politicians were not listening to them during the campaign.

He said business people wanted to see a number of measures, including business rate reform, support for nuclear new build and renewable energy such as offshore wind, and a flexible immigration system allowing businesses to recruit migrant workers after Brexit.

Two of the Labour candidates who failed to win seats for their party have been talking about the changes in the political landscape that have left Cumbria with only one seat not occupied by a Conservative.

In Barrow and Furness Chris Altree blamed a combination of anger over Brexit delays and concerns about Jeremy Corbyn for losing the constituency.

In Carlisle, Ruth Alcroft lost to the incumbent MP, Conservative John Stevenson, by more than 8,000 votes, and In a speech afterwards, she said that he must stand up for Carlisle in Westminster.

The Northern Powerhouse Partnership, set up under the previous government, has called on the new administration to act on its promises to close the north-south divide.

Lord Jim O'Neill, vice chairman of the partnership, said the new government should "focus on improving the infrastructure of the country, boosting the education and skills needed to transform those areas left behind, which means voters in the North and Midlands will be boosted by their electoral support.”

And the director, Henri Murison, said both main parties had promised to close the north-south divide.

The first satellites in the Starlink network, designed to provide internet access all over the world from space, were caught on a mobile phone camera by Katy Stamper from Lorton

She sparked a debate by posting the photos on Instagram and Facebook , externalasking what they were, and was kind enough to say we could post them as well.

The Elon Musk company SpaceX started launching the trails of satellites earlier this year, with a plan eventually to have up to 12,000, which has left astronomers concerned that they will completely change the night sky.

This week it's been reported that the company will be trying to make the satelites less obvious, external.

Cumbria's tourism businesses have pressed the new government to go ahead with the "sector deal" proposed earlier this year to improve training and other support for the industry.

The scheme involved ministers picking five areas of the country, where businesses would be helped to build new faciities such as hotel rooms for tourism and back thousands of apprentices to improve training.

Gill Haigh (pictured), the managing director of Cumbria tourism, said a recent survey of businesses had shown most faced growing costs and problems recruiting staff.

Cumbria's new Conservative MPs say that having won more seats in the "Workington man" area of the north, their party must now pay more attention to it.

But the MP Tim Farron, who held his Westmorland and Lonsdale seat with an increased majority to become the only non-Conservative Cumbria will send to Westminster, said delivering on some election pledges might be a challenge.

Right at the outset of the election, we were told Workington Man - a rugby league-loving leave voter - would be crucial to the outcome.

He was someone the Conservatives needed to nab from Labour. And it seems the Tories did win over more than enough Workington men (as well as some women of course).

In the end, they comfortably took a seat they'd only previously held for three out of the last 100 years, removing Labour's Shadow Environment Secretary, Sue Hayman.

The new MP Mark Jenkinson is pretty much the model of the Workington man they had to appeal to, so he probably knew a thing or two about how to reach them.

Add in the Tory victory in Barrow, and Labour are left without a single seat in Cumbria. Lib Dem Tim Farron's Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency is now the only part of the county that isn't true blue.

As in the rest of the North, the Get Brexit Done message seems to have cut through, with Jeremy Corbyn also deeply unpopular on the doorstep.

There's a test ahead though. Brexit could pose problems for the county's industry, and its agriculture. The tourist trade relies on migrant labour. The Conservatives will need to consider these factors as they work out what getting Brexit done actually means.

And their new and old constituents will also expect the party to make good on promises to invest more in the North.

But the county could also get money and powers passed on from London in a renewed push for devolution. They will come with strings attached though - the need to have an election for a Cumbria-wide mayor.

Another poll on last night's showing the Conservatives would hope to win.

If you're just waking up, here is what happened in Cumbria overnight:

• Labour lost Workington and Barrow to the Conservatives which means the party now has no seats in Cumbria
• The Conservatives kept hold of Carlisle, Copeland and Penrith and the Border
• Liberal Democrat Tim Farron retained his Westmorland and Lonsdale seat

Financial Times reporter Sebastian Payne outlines the sheer scale of how Labour's vote has disintegrated over 22 years, with the North East and Cumbria in particular focus:

Neil Hudson has been elected MP for Penrith & The Border, meaning that the Conservative Party holds the seat with an increased majority.
