Independent candidate Claire Wright was hotly tipped to take the East Devon seat - her third attempt at doing so - but lost out again to the Conservatives.

The BBC exit poll suggested early on she could break the 150-year Tory hold.

She received 25,869 votes - trailing the Conservative's result of 32,577.

Simon Jupp has been elected in the seat which was occupied by Sir Hugo Swire for the last 18 years.

Through numerous boundary changes, the area has been represented by a Conservative MP since 1835.

The Conservative Party has secured more votes in all seven of the South West results to be declared so far than in the 2017 election.

In the six seats they have held, the party has increased its votes in the past two elections.

Even in Exeter, where Labour MP Ben Bradshaw was returned, the number of votes received increased in the past two elections - this time round it was 1,260 more compared to a loss of 4,454 for Labour.

Anthony Mangnall has been elected MP for Totnes, meaning that the Conservative Party holds the seat with a decreased majority.

The seat had been held by Sarah Wollaston, who left the Conservatives in February in order to found the Independent Group. In August this year she joined the Liberal Democrats. Her 13,477 majority in the 2017 general election has become a 12,724 vote majority for Mr Mangnall.

Louise Webberley of the Labour Party came third and independent candidate John Kitson came fourth.

The most south-westerly constituency in the country, St Ives includes some of Cornwall's best-known place names, including its namesake town (pictured above), Helston and Penzance.

Its notable landmarks include Land's End, tidal island St Michael's Mount (pictured below) and The Lizard peninsula.

A Conservative seat since the 1930s, though with an earlier Liberal tradition, St Ives fell to the Liberal Democrats in 1997, with Andrew George keeping the seat through a boundary change in 2010 and retaining it until 2015, when he was ousted by Conservative Derek Thomas, who held it in 2017.

This seat also includes the Isles of Scilly – so ballot boxes have previously had to be flown to the mainland once the polls closed for vote counting.

However, this time the boxes are due to be taken to the island of St Mary's by boat and votes counted there before the islands' result is phoned through to be added to the constituency's final count.

There were warning there may be problems due to tidal conditions, but in the end bad weather caused a delay to the ballots being gathered together.

Only three parties contested the seat in 2017: the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberals Democrats.

It is twice that this time round, with other parties on the ballot including: the Greens, the Liberal Party and The Common People.

The seat of North Cornwall, which includes an Atlantic coast, sees the popular resorts of Padstow (pictured) and Bude in the area, as well as the historic towns of Bodmin, Launceston and Wadebridge.

Often going between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives, only four parties are contesting the seat: the Conservatives, Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Party.

It was a Liberal Democrat seat from 1992 until 2010, when the Tories managed to take it and hold on to it since, increasing their majority in 2015 and 2017.

The seat of South East Cornwall is characterised by many small ports (Looe is pictured above) and a tourism industry.

Like many south coast locations, it has a high proportion of retired people - with about one in five of the population being over 65.

The area, which did see some boundary changes in 1983 and 2010, has really only swapped between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives since 1983.

Conservative Robert Hicks, who had actually been an MP in Cornwall from 1974, became the first MP in the constituency named South East Cornwall in 1983, staying in the seat until 1997.

Liberal Democrat Colin Breed was then MP from 1997 until his retirement in 2010.

At that election, Conservative Sheryl Murray took the seat with 45.1% of the votes, increasing her majority in both the 2015 and 2017 polls.

Before 2010, most of this constituency area was part of the Truro and St Austell seat.

That was a Tory stronghold until 1974, when it fell to the Liberals, who held onto it for many years.

In 2010 - after the most recent boundary changes - Stephen Gilbert narrowly won the new seat of St Austell and Newquay for the Liberal Democrats with a majority of 1,300. He then lost to Conservative Steve Double in 2015 after Lib Dem support dropped by nearly 19%.

Steve Double held the seat in 2017 with an increased majority, seeing an increase in support of just over 9%.

As well as the Conservatives, Labour and Greens standing, the constituency has two liberal candidates - from the Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Party.

It is also the only seat which Cornwall-only party Mebyon Kernow - which is looking for an assembly for the county - is standing in after ruling out putting up any Parliamentary candidates in 2017.

Labour candidate Ben Bradshaw says it is "inevitable that Jeremy Corbyn will go" as an "absolutely devastating" national picture is emerging for the party.

Mr Bradshaw is likely to hold his Exeter seat, but says the General Election is the worst for Labour since 1935.

"I feel desperately sad for the country - particularly for those people who really need a Labour government and for the consequences of another five years of Boris Johnson and a damaging no-deal Brexit," he said

“What is vital for the Labour Party is that we have an honest assessment of why we lost, and lost so badly and learn the lessons from this catastrophic defeat in a way that we failed to learn the lessons of our defeats in 2017 and 2015.

“The reasons are overwhelmingly the leadership. We knocked on more than 20,000 doors. The overwhelming negative for us was the leadership.

"It’s inevitable that Jeremy Corbyn will go after such a catastrophe but it’s more fundamental than that.

"The people around him who have brought this catastrophe on us need to take responsibility for what they have done. They have betrayed millions of voters.

“There is no public enthusiasm for Boris Johnson but we managed to hand a landslide victory to the worst Tory leader I can remember,” he added
