Conservative Scott Mann has conceded the North Cornwall constituency, which he previously represented.

Talking to staff, he said: "The tide is out, it looks like it is across the South West, my boat is above the water line."

He added: "I think I could have knocked on another 40,000 doors and it wouldn't have made the difference."
