THE dust has almost now settled after a hectic evening of politics and here are all the key numbers from the General Election in Scotland.
It is no surprise that Labour won by a landslide while the Tories suffered heavy losses across the country, but perhaps one of the biggest surprises is how poorly the SNP have performed.
The tone from the SNP is considerably different from 2019 after their own historic victory when the party returned 48 MPs to Westminster.
Meanwhile, Alba were unable to make any of their deposits back in the 19 constituencies they stood candidates in.
The Scottish Greens celebrated a rise in their share of the vote, but still failed to secure any seats at Westminster, while their southern colleagues saw their best result ever, returning 4 MPs south of the Border.
With all seats declared in Scotland, bar the Highland constituency of Inverness, Skye and West Ross-Shire which has gone to a recount for Saturday morning, here are all the numbers you need to know.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
