Berwick MP: 'We'll have another election by 2019'
North East Conservative MP Anne-Marie Trevelyan said she expects there to be another General Election by 2019.
When questioned on ITV News Tyne Tees about when the next election might be, the re-elected MP for Berwick Upon Tweed said "not before 2019".
Trevelyan's comments are somewhat different to that of the Prime Minister, who has spoken this afternoon of her intention to form a government with the Democratic Unionist Party over the next five years.
Speaking outside Number 10, Theresa May said: "We will fulfill the promise of Brexit together and, over the next five years, build a country in which no-one and no community is left behind.
Trevelyan, the Brexiteer who held the seat against Labour with an 11,781 majority is one of only three Conservative MPs to represent the North East.
The Tories failed to gain ground in the region, with the only major changes being the loss of the Stockton South constituency to Labour, balanced out by the gaining of Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland from Labour.
Despite the Conservative's poor performance, Trevelyan said she stands by the Prime Minister's decision to call a snap election.
Moving forward, the MP said she still considers Brexit as one of her top priorities.
Almost half of people in the Berwick Upon Tweed constituency, 54.1 per cent voted 'leave' in the EU referendum.
Trevelyan believes the promise of a strong Brexit deal helped to strengthen her campaign:
