The Commons Library has published an interim summary of general election results, thanks to the quick work of @CarlBaker.
Full vote counts and candidate-level data to follow hopefully by end of week and more analysis planned for later in the summer.

Thanks to the small army of Parliament's staff - Library, digital and elsewhere - who have been working tirelessly overnight to update Parliamentary systems to ensure that new MPs can move smoothly into their roles straight away. Much of the work now continues over the weekend.

End of an era in the Commons Library today: Richard Cracknell is stepping down as Head of Social and General Statistics after over 25 years in the post. He has positively impacted so many careers during that time, and overseen an incredible amount of change. He will be missed!
