UK Election Result 2017 Live: PM Theresa May Moves To Form Government
The UK election ended in a hung parliament after Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservatives Party failed to win a majority in the poll, as predicted by the exit polls.
'This election has been disastrous for Theresa May,' says SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon
Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon said the results of the election were disappointing for her party but were disastrous for Prime Minister Theresa May.
"Clearly it's a disappointing result, we've lost some tremendous MPs," Nicola Sturgeon said.

"There is clearly uncertainty around Brexit and independence which clearly will be factor in tonight's results - you know a lot of thinking for the SNP to do," she said
