After the election, this is what Devon and Cornwall looks like this morning...

Nationally, Labour has defied expectations by taking dozens of seats, as the UK was left with a hung Parliament.

The Conservatives failed to make the widely predicted gains in Labour heartlands or benefit from the collapse of support for UKIP.

The Liberal Democrats gained five seats in England, but former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg lost his.

A high turnout among young voters boosted Labour's vote share, the National Union of Students said.

On the surface it may seem like business as usual in Cornwall, with the Conservatives retaining four seats that have been declared.

The big story emerging however is the resurgence of Labour.

The party came a close second in both Truro and Falmouth, and Camborne and Redruth making huge gains from 2015.

In both seats, the Labour candidates had a increase in share of more than 19 percent from two years ago.

Since Tamsin recorded the video, Conservative Steve Double has been re-elected to represent St Austell and Newquay.

"What I'm going to to do when I get to Parliament next week, I hope all MPs do, is to reach out across the political divide.

"There's so much more that unites us than divides us, and really make sure that we've got a good agreement for the Prime Minister to negotiate the best possible Brexit that she can get with our European colleagues."

The Prime Minister is expected to give a speech at 10:00.

All three constituencies in the west of Cornwall have been retained by the Conservatives, but with reduced majorities.

• Derek Thomas has held St Ives by 312 votes, down from 2,469 in 2015.
• Sarah Newton has held Truro and Falmouth by 3,792, down from 14,000.
• George Eustice has held Camborne and Redruth by 1,577 down from 7,004.

The results for the three remaining constituencies are yet to be declared from St Austell, while the Carn Brea team is now packing up with their work for the night complete.

Conservative Derek Thomas has retained his seat in St Ives, beating the Liberal Democrats with a slim majority of 312.

This was a key target for the Liberal Democrats, with Andrew George trying to win back the seat he held from 1997 to 2015.

Both candidates received more votes than last time, with the majority falling from 2,469.

Cornwall Council has apologised for the late declarations for constituencies in the county. 645 of 650 seats nationally have been declared, but only two of six have been resolved in Cornwall.

Part of the explanation is a new venue for three counts, at Polkyth leisure centre because the Royal Cornwall showground is not available.

Paul Masters from the council said "We'll try and do better next time but we need to focus on getting the count done properly."

As the nation awaits crucial general election results from Cornwall, the chatter on social media is that the counts will be finished 'dreckly'.

Dreckly is a popular term in Cornwall and is defined by the Urban Dictionary, external as:

An unspecified period of time, leaning towards sometime never. Has been described as Manana without all the rushing about. Derived presumably from directly, but given a Cornish twist.I'll gt around to that dreckly my ansom.
