Summery:

Spoiler

• Labour wins the UK general election - Keir Starmer will be the new prime minister
• "Change begins now," Starmer says, as Labour is forecast to win a landslide with 410 seats, and the Conservatives on 144
• Rishi Sunak says Britain has delivered a "sobering verdict"
• High-profile Conservatives have lost their seats, including Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Penny Mordaunt
• Reform UK leader Nigel Farage becomes an MP for the first time, and the party's Richard Tice and Lee Anderson also win
• Ex-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn wins Islington North as an independent, and Labour's Jon Ashworth loses to an independent
• Green Party's Carla Denyer wins Bristol Central from Labour, while Scottish First Minister John Swinney says it's been a "very, very difficult and damaging" night for the SNP

Biggest swing since 1945, lowest Tory vote share in a century. Good riddance  

Starmer is kinda whatever but he can't possibly be worse than the shitshow of the past 10 years.

The Labour party could possibly be the same as the Tories in screwing over the people. I'm sure he knows that he came to office as an unpopular PM not because people like him but because most people only voted for him to get the Tories out. We will see if he's actually a decent politician but I'm not holding my breath

@RihannaRTT omg sis what happened to the SNP? I heard there's been a few scandals within the party but I wouldn't have thought that would be the only reason for their downfall. They were such a prominent party in Scotland when Sturgeon was running the show so that's why I'm surprised by the results last night

I see him the way I see Joe Biden, generic easy-to-elect guy. From some promises & plans I've seen from him, he seems significantly better but ultimately like Biden, nothing will fundamentally change. People also do not particularly care for him yes. Corbyn was the most promising and they kicked him out, so
