Starmer is set to become prime minister after Rishi Sunak conceded.
Labour secured a massive 411 seats compared to the Conservatives’ 119, with major Tory figures like Liz Truss and Jacob Rees-Mogg losing their seats.
The party also made substantial gains in Scotland and the 'red wall' areas of northern England and the Midlands.
Reform and the Greens also saw unexpected victories, complicating Starmer’s governance agenda.
