The UK Has a New Prime Minister Following Landslide Win for Labour Party 

Labour has achieved a landslide victory in the UK general election. The new Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, promised to guide the nation towards “calmer waters” in his inaugural address. Starmer is now assembling his cabinet and has appointed the UK’s first-ever female finance minister.

Sir Keir Starmer is the UK’s new prime minister following a landslide general election victory by the Labour Party. The Conservative Party suffered a dramatic collapse after 14 years in power, losing 250 seats in a devastating night. Outgoing PM Rishi Sunak accepted responsibility for the result and announced his upcoming resignation as party leader.

In his first speech as prime minister, Sir Keir vowed to lead a “government of service” and initiate a period of “national renewal,” emphasising the need to address insecurity and promising immediate work on change.

Labour won 412 seats, the Conservatives dropped to 121, and the Liberal Democrats secured 71 seats. Reform UK and the Green Party each gained four seats. Labour’s success was partly due to the collapse of the Scottish National Party, which fell to nine seats.
