Keir Starmer is set to be Britain’s next prime minister after achieving one of the largest landslides in modern times.
The exit poll projects the Labour leader will go into government with a majority possibly eclipsing even that of Tony Blair’s 1997 victory. Starmer’s party is expected to win 410 seats.
The election result prediction came after polls closed at 10pm following a six-week campaign.
The Conservatives are set to see their number of seats fall to 131, down from 365 five years ago when Boris Johnson secured a dominant 80-seat majority.
The Liberal Democrats are forecast to win 61 seats, with Reform UK on 13, the Green Party on 2, the SNP on 10, and Plaid Cymru on 4.
This would give Starmer a 170-seat majority in parliament, just shy of Tony Blair’s 1997 record of 179.
