For the Financial Times, Boris Johnson’s election gamble has paid off in “spectacular style” after the public overwhelmingly embraced his “Get Brexit Done” campaign slogan.
“Rejoice! ” is the headline for the Daily Mail. The paper says Boris Johnson’s “thumping win” will finally see Brexit delivered – and sound the death knell for another EU referendum.
The Mail says voters delivered a humiliating verdict on Jeremy Corbyn’s brand of socialism. It forecasts an “extraordinary civil war” in Labour’s ranks and a brutal leadership contest.
For the Guardian, the result is a “crushing defeat” for Mr Corbyn, and a repudiation of his offer of “real change” for Britain.
