Keir Starmer to be UK's next prime minister as Labour secures thumping majority and Rishi Sunak's Tories are humiliated.

In his victory speech, Sir Keir Starmer said: “Our task is nothing less than renewing the ideals that hold this country together.” 

  • Labour wins the UK general election in a landslide - Keir Starmer will be the new prime minister

  • After 14 years, the Conservatives lose power in a catastrophic defeat - they are set for the worst results in their history

  • "Change begins now," Starmer says; Rishi Sunak says Britain has delivered a "sobering verdict"

  • The Lib Dems make huge gains, while the SNP lose dozens of seats

  • High-profile Conservative casualties include former Prime Minister Liz Truss, Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Penny Mordaunt

  • Reform UK leader Nigel Farage becomes an MP as the party nets four MPs; the Greens are also on four in their best election performance yet
