Kieron O’Hara: Young voters won’t hold off austerity forever

This election has found the next generation as committed to spending other people’s money as their elders. This will catch up with them in the end.

Adam Allcroft: The Conservatives are making progress in South Yorkshire

We saw some huge swings in this ‘People’s Republic’ and we’re now second in every seat but one.

Garvan Walshe: This election has brought Putin’s prize – a Far Left-led Britain – too close for comfort

It is now necessary to consider a strong and structured security partnership with the EU that would withstand the rule of Russia’s useful idiot.

Chris Wilford: Oh, Jer-emy Corbyn. Oh, Jer-emy Corbyn. #grime4corbyn – and how he did so well in the Snapchat election

Labour have combined a huge activist base with clever use of modern media to build a formidable campaigning machine.

“To be a political leader…and to live as a committed Christian…has felt impossible for me.” Farron’s resignation statement in full.

He says that this is especially so in “a progressive, liberal party”

Alex Morton: May must not turn into Major

She cannot be a stationary establishment figure when faced with the restless mood of the voting public. She must move forwards – or we risk a 1997-style wipeout.

Edward Frith: Corbyn promised us the moon. May pretended we weren’t there. No wonder young people backed Labour.

My generation are a generation who don’t watch TV and don’t read newspapers – but do watch YouTube and get their news from Facebook.

Michelle Lowe: Social care. May ducking TV debates. Fox hunting. What sank our candidacies in the West Midlands.

We also suffered from CCHQ’s campaigning techniques. Only 50 per cent of our targets we planning to back us. We were knocking up Corbynites.

James Frayne: Let’s stick with May for the moment. But prepare to replace her with Johnson.

He isn’t perfect – and acclamation isn’t the ideal method. But the Conservatives face a crisis and must take action accordingly.

May at the ’22. She adapts to survive.

She threw herself on the mercy of Tory MPs, and the gambit appears to have paid off – for the moment.

Nicholas Mazzei: Changing the Party to attract the youth vote

Unless the Conservatives can deliver a fairer deal between the generations, a majority may be forever out of reach.

WATCH: Davis insists May will stay as Prime Minister

He also insists that the Government is pursuing the “same strategic policy” over Brexit as it was before the election.

Davidson desires neither to lead nor split the Conservative and Unionist Party

Divisions between London and Edinburgh are being overplayed – the Scottish leadership will not want an early election.

Jeffrey Dudgeon: I’m Northern Ireland’s best-known gay rights campaigner. And I see no problem with a Tory-DUP deal.

I was instrumental this year in getting the gay pardon legislation extended to Northern Ireland. Significantly, this was accomplished with the assent of the DUP.

Nadhim Zahawi: Our policies were right. But we didn’t sell them.

Despite the outcome, our manifesto was a step in the right direction, from which we must not retreat backwards.
