'Victory for Boris': How the front pages reacted to huge Conservative majority

The newspapers have reacted to the Conservative party's big win in the general election over Labour, calling it both a “victory for Brexit” and a “nightmare”.

The Tories claimed swathes of the Labour heartlands after the Prime Minister’s “get Brexit done” election message hit home with working-class Leave voters.
