Keir Starmer set to become next UK prime minister after Labour historic win
The United Kingdom’s Labour Party swept to power early on Friday after winning the country’s general election, crossing the 326-seat threshold for a working majority in the House of Commons.
“A mandate like this comes with a great responsibility,” Labour leader Keir Starmer told supporters at a triumphant dawn rally in London, moments after the results that sealed its landslide win were announced.
BBC reports that as the final figures come in, Labour is expected to win 410 seats, with the Conservatives on 144.
