Levels of gay, bi and lesbian representation in the UK parliament have remained stable at the election after a Tory surge.

The last UK parliament had 45 out LGBT+ MPs – the highest number in the world.

There’s now more out Tories than LGBT+ Labour MPs.

Ahead of the election, six out Tories and one out Labour MP stood down, while three out Labour MPs lost on Thursday.

However, the MPs departing were offset by a new cohort of LGBT+ politicians, with ten new out MPs were elected –  seven Tories and three SNP.

There are now 20 Tories, 15 Labour and 10 SNP MPs who identify as LGBT+.

The Scottish National Party now has the highest proportion of gay, bi and lesbian representation of any party in parliament, at 21 per cent, while 5.5 per cent of Conservative MPs and 7.4 per cent of Labour MPs identify as LGBT+.

Once again, the Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru, Green Party and Northern Irish parties all have no out LGBT+ MPs.

None of the candidates who identify as trans or non-binary were successful on Thursday.

One of the new out MPs was suspended from the SNP before election day over antisemitic posts.

The full list of out LGBT+ MPs can be found below, with the newly elected highlighted in bold.
