THE Brexit Party was the clear winner in the UK's European elections, with the pro-EU Liberal Democrats coming second.

The Conservatives and Labour suffered heavy losses, with the former expected to get less than 10 per cent of the vote.

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage said he was ready to "take on" the Tories and Labour in a General Election.

He added: "With a big, simple message - which is we've been badly let down by two parties who have broken their promises - we have topped the poll in a fairly dramatic style.

"The two-party system now serves nothing but itself. I think they are an obstruction to the modernising of politics... and we are going to take them on."

The UK is electing 73 MEPs from across 12 regions – 11 regions, including the South West, have so far declared.

Overall, out of 64 MEPs declared so far, Mr Farage's party has won 28, the Lib Dems 15, Labour 10, Greens seven, the Tories three and Plaid Cymru one.

The Lib Dems topped the poll in London and have 15 MEPs, up 14, while the Conservatives have three MEPs, down 15, and are in fifth place.

Labour have 10 MEPs, down 8 and their vote share has fallen by 11 percentage points. The Green Party have won seven MEPs, up four. Change UK have not won any seats, nor have UKIP.

In Scotland, the SNP have three MEPs, Brexit Party one, Lib Dems one and Conservatives one. The Brexit Party dominated in Wales, with Plaid Cymru second.

The deputy leader of the pro-Remain Liberal Democrats, Jo Swinson, said the result should "give hope to all of the people out of there who want to stop Brexit", and that they "should not be giving up without a fight".

"When there is such a general shambles over Brexit, then [a further referendum] is the best way out of the impasse," she said.

Polling expert Sir John Curtice said the results showed just how polarised the country had become.
