Labour wins UK election as Sunak concedes defeat

Labour has won the UK general election and is heading for a landslide, with results from more than 500 of the 650 parliamentary seats declared.

Keir Starmer will be the next Prime Minister, promising cheering supporters at a victory rally in central London that change begins now.

The Conservative Party suffered a stunning defeat after 14 years in government, bringing a brutal end to the premiership of Rishi Sunak, who says he had called the Labour leader to congratulate him and concede the election.

Nigel Farage’s populist Reform UK party won its first seats and came second in many more, splitting the right-wing vote and contributing to the Conservatives’ losses.
