Buckinghamshire election: All you need to know

Of the eight constituencies in Buckinghamshire which were Conservative, only two stayed blue: Beaconsfield and Mid Buckinghamshire.

Among the losses was prominent Brexiteer Steve Baker, beaten by Labour in Wycombe.

"I wanted to win this, I fought to win... but for me personally, thank God I'm free and it's over. I'm glad."

He added to his surprising admission by saying: "I did this for duty. Being a member of parliament is, of course, long hours... a lot of abuse. My house is like Fort Knox, and you know, enough is enough.

"I would have been glad to continue and serve the people of Wycombe... it was often a joy... but I will not be coming back."
