It has been a bad night for the Conservatives, with a number of key figures ousted from their seats across the nation.
A record number of Conservative Cabinet members have lost their seats, beating the previous record of seven defeats in 1997.
Among those to no longer be elected as MPs include former prime minister Liz Truss, Defence Secretary Grant Shapps and House of Commons Leader, Penny Mordaunt. Here we take a look at some of the key names leaving politics.
1. House of Commons leader, Penny Mordaunt, who was believed to be a possible future Tory leadership contender, had her majority of more than 15,000 overturned in Portsmouth North. Ms Mordaunt will be remembered for carrying two heavy swords at the King’s coronation.
