Looks like the SNP is being decimated in its own heartland. What's the story there? Disenchantment after the failed referendum? Poor jobs/economic outcomes?

Others will have a more nuanced take, but defending 54 of 59 seats was always going to be a major struggle. Especially when the fervour from the referendum the year previously has now dissipated.

What are "DUP" and "PC"?

DUP = Democratic Unionist Party. They are a Northern Irish Unionist party likely to prop up the Tories.

 

PC = Plaid Cymru = Party of Wales, they are Welsh nationalists.

DUP = Democratic Unionist Party, a Northern Irish Party that is fairly right-wing and often allies with the Conservatives. It looks like the Conservatives will need their MPs to form a government.

PC = Plaid Cymru, the Welsh Nationalist party.
