The Labour Party has defied odds of 66/1 to win Kensington. The seat was the last to declare and went to Labour by just 25 votes after the count was paused because of teller fatigue. Historically Kensington is a Conservative stronghold, highlighted by Lady Victoria Borwick winning over 52 per cent of the vote back in 2015. It was also  Michael Portillo's seat when he won the 1999 by-election, and is also the constituency in which The Daily Mail is based. People...

A DUP billboard running an anti-Conservative pledge has backfired spectacularly after the party teamed up with the Tories to give them the majority they need to form a government. The advertisement features a woman giving her allegiance to Northern Ireland's DUP because she "wants an MP who answers to us - not to the Tories". But it will undoubtedly come back to bite the party in the arse. Theresa May announced today that she would be forming a government with...

May has decided to carry on regardless, relying on the help of the DUP to form a government. But...
