From Checkpoint, 6:15 pm on 13 December 2019

Boris Johnson's Conservative party has won a landslide victory in the UK's general election.

It hasn't been a good outcome for the Labour Party, which has suffered a huge defeat in seats it has traditionally held.

Its leader Jeremy Corbyn has announced he won't be running for future elections.

Lydia Batham has this report as polls near closing, and Lisa Owen talks to London correspondent Olly Barratt.
