There are mixed emotions across the political world this morning (5 July), as the Labour party win the general election in a landslide result.
Following 14 years of Conservative rule, the Tories have lost over 200 seats in this election, including those held by household names, including Liz Truss, Jacob Rees-Mogg, and Penny Mordaunt.
However, Rishi Sunak has held onto his seat in Richmond and Northallerton.
326 seats are required for a majority, and so far, Labour has 412 under their belt.
“Change begins now”, Keir Starmer told crowds as the results came pouring in. “It feels good, I have to be honest, four and a half years’ work changing the party - this is what it is for. A changed Labour party.”
The new Labour goverment have made a 10-step plan of promises to the British public, including NHS reform, the introduction of Great British Railways, and ending hotel stays for asylum seekers.
