DJs and artists react to the General Election result

Scuba, Erol Alkan and Throwing Shade have their say

It was a long night, but the General Election results are in and the outcome is a hung parliament.

The Conservatives got the most seats, but not the 326 needed to win a majority. That means Tory leader Theresa May now has no parliamentary majority, but she's paired up with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) to form a UK government and will today (June 9) see the Queen to confirm a deal.

Labour, led by Jeremy Corbyn, got 261 seats, increasing its tally by 31. That was in no doubt down to a 72 per cent turnout of voters aged 18 to 24, especially after a Labour campaign backed by a host of musicians.

As always, DJs and artists were sharing their reactions on social media following the result. Check out what JME, Scuba, Jackmaster (pictured), Throwing Shade and more have been saying in the gallery above.
