"I'm enormously privileged to be elected once again as the Member of Parliament for Epping Forest and although I can't see all those who did the hard work may I thank each and every one of you for everything you've done this momentous evening.
Also, I'm extremely grateful to everyone who has contributed to making this exercise in democracy so smooth and so harmonious.
"May I also congratulate my opponents. It was a hard fought fight and I'm very grateful for the spirit in which they fought it.
So I will say no more other than to thank you again and to say I'm deeply honoured to be a member of parliament again.”
