Shropshire’s five Conservative MPs will be returning to Westminster to represent their constituencies following yesterday’s general election.
Lucy Allan, Mark Pritchard, Owen Patterson, Daniel Kawczynski, and Philip Dunne all hold their seats with each gaining a large majority.
Nationally, the Conservatives are set for their biggest victory since Margaret Thatcher in 1987 whilst Labour is set for their worst result since 1935.
Jeremy Corbyn has said he would not lead his party in any future general election campaign.
Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson lost her East Dunbartonshire seat to the SNP.
The results mean with Conservatives in power the UK remains on course to leave the EU on 31 January, after Mr Johnson campaigned on his promise to “get Brexit done”.
