          Boris Johnson has brought chaos and neglect - new Tiverton and Honiton MP

          Andrew Segal

          BBC South West

          The new Liberal Democrat MP for Tiverton and Honiton says his win shows that voters think "enough is enough" of Boris Johnson's leadership.

          Richard Foord said it was an "extraordinary and historic result which has sent a shockwave through British politics".

          He said: "Tonight the people of Britain have spoken.

          “They’ve sent a loud and clear message: It's time for Boris Johnson to go and go now.”

          He said the prime minister had brought a state of "shame, chaos and neglect”.

          He added: “By any measure you are unfit to lead, and the people of Tiverton and Honiton have said is enough is enough.

          “The only decent course of action is to heed their call and resign.”
