Big thanks to both Eds, John and to everyone involved in the election night editathon. I suspect it was a more eventful night than many of us had anticipated! 

Cheers

Thanks for the reminder.  I have a hazy recollection of Ed Saperia asking me before I left on Friday morning if I could create such a list.  Here are the articles that we started on the night at the editathon:

I've only added those started by editors physically at Newspeak House, and there may well be some I've overlooked, so please add more if need be.

The category is "UK MPs 2017– stubs":

Altogether, it looks like there were 131 new MPs elected.

Edward H, can you possibly provide a summary of what was updated? Can we see all the new MPs pages in a category somewhere?
