Moment Defence Secretary Grant Shapps loses seat

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has lost his seat of Welwyn Hatfield to the Labour Party.

He lost by a margin of 3,799 votes.

Mr Shapps said: "It's clear tonight that Britain will have a new government in the morning, and I am concerned that unless it quickly commits to spending 2.5% of GDP on defence, our armed forces may suffer, and so will our friends in Ukraine."
