In her acceptance speech, Diane said she will support the incoming Labour government in their bid to transform the country. She said: "We are here on the morning of a historic Labour victory and I believe we will all remember where we were this morning. And this incoming Labour government has the opportunity to be a truly transformative Labour government, and I’m sure that we will all support them in that goal.

"But let me say this. I became an MP to give support to give people who don’t have support, to speak up on issues other people are ignoring and to be a voice for the voiceless. I’ve not deviated from those goals in 37 years.

"I’ll also say this, 70 years ago my parents came to this country as migrants to make a better life for themselves and a better life for their children. I will never stand by and see anybody, from whatever party, whoever they are, demigre and blame migrants for the ills of this society."

The move to Downing Street is a symbolic moment for any incoming prime minister, the most obvious proof of your drastically changed situation.

For five years, barring calamity, it is yours, for you to decorate with all the golden Lulu Lytle wallpaper you like.

France will not have a far-right government, but that answer, that single fact, does not cover another crucial point.

The centrist group, coalesced behind President Emmanuel Macron, has defied all predictions to come second.
