A round-up of how key MPs performed in the election

After last night’s landslide victory for the Conservatives, Boris Johnson’s party now holds a 79-seat majority, securing 364 MPs.

Labour lost 59 seats while the Liberal Democrats won just 11. The SNP made gains, winning 48 seats. 

But how did the MPs and candidates connected to the construction sector fare? Here, we look at the vital statistics. 

Johnson is set to announce an initial ministerial reshuffle on Monday, although he is not expected to make wholesale changes. He is due to outline his legislative plans in a Queen’s speech on Thursday.
