Among those polishing their Linkedin CVs this morning... Former members of the Culture Select Committee, Andrew Bingham, Jason McCartney and the languid tv presenter John Nicolson. Culture Secretary Karen Bradley, accused of robotic May-like performances in interviews, got back in Leek with 4,000 extra votes.
It's likely that No 10 special advisers Fiona Hill and Nick Timothy will be back on the market, as will manifesto-writer Ben Gummer, who lost his seat in Ipswich. Damian Green, who was put out to front the manifesto, was re-elected in Ashford with 5,000 more votes than last time.
Hopelessly under-used in last night's BBC1 coverage - John Curtice, whose constituency-modelling turned the exit polls into a spot-on seat prediction. George Osborne proved the hire of the night for ITV.
