Boris Johnson swept to a thumping election victory in Britain as voters, wearied by three years of Brexit wrangling, handed him a mandate to pull out of the European Union next month.
With results still coming in, the Conservative leader was on course to win a majority of more than 80 seats, the best result for the party since Margaret Thatcher’s majority of 102 in 1987.
“I hope you enjoy a celebration tonight,” he said in a jubilant message to party members. “You powered this campaign. We couldn't have done it without you.”
Conservatives began celebrating when voting ended and an exit poll predicted they were on target to pick up 50 seats, giving them 368 Members of Parliament in total. Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party, meanwhile, was on course for 191, the Liberal Democrats 13, the Brexit Party none, and the Scottish National Party 55, according to a BBC/Sky/ITV poll.
