Labour landslide in UK election
Anti-incumbent revolt gives party biggest majority since 1997
Labour will win 410 seats, according to the major exit poll.
The Labour Party has won a decisive victory in the 2024 UK general election, securing its largest majority since 1997.
The result is seen as a major defeat for the Conservative Party, which has been in power for the past 12 years.
Labour leader Keir Starmer said the victory was a "mandate for change" and promised to "build a fairer, more prosperous society for all".
The Conservatives have conceded defeat, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson saying he will step down as party leader.
The election was held on Thursday, July 4, 2024, and saw a record turnout of voters.
The Labour Party won 410 seats in the House of Commons, while the Conservatives won 250 seats.
The Scottish National Party won 50 seats, the Liberal Democrats won 15 seats, and the Green Party won 10 seats.
The election results are a major blow to the Conservative Party, which has been in power since 2010.
The Conservatives have lost 120 seats since the 2019 general election, and Johnson is now facing calls to resign as party leader.
