UK - Boris Johnson's colossal victory in the General Election was splashed over front pages across the world today as the Prime Minister's historic win cleared the way for Brexit. German tabloid Bild went with 'Landslide victory for Brexit Boris!', while Italy's La Repubblica summed up its reports with, 'Europa bye-bye,' and referenced the Tories' biggest win since Margaret Thatcher in 1987.

Others spoke of 'Hurricane Boris,' the Brexit 'earthquake' and a Tory 'avalanche.' Like the British press, the European papers were largely relying on the exit polls, but it became clear early on Thursday night that Mr Johnson was to deliver a thumping victory. The Conservatives have so far taken 364 seats, a gain of 47, while Labour sits on 203, a loss of 59. There is just one more seat left to declare its result.
