Keir Starmer has said the 'sunlight of hope' is bathing Britain again after Labour won a landslide UK election victory to bring a crushing end to 14 years of Conservative rule. Here's how his victorious night unfolded

It will be interesting to watch the ‘fully costed manifesto’ steadily crumble over the next 6 months.
Yep, a snap election is imminent.
Make that a week. They’re already talking about increasing spending…
They have 5 full years with that majority. ENJOY!
@@duncanbowtell2607No, they aren’t.
@1milliondogs can’t wait to see what folk say 6 month down the line 😆

uk politics is a joke 😂
Valid
Explain?
I dont think you need the UK in front of politics there. Lol.
@@vetvendosje-kosov-gjenev9986 whole countrys a joke 😆 welcome to 🇬🇧
Look across the pond to the land of the free, it could be so much worse.
Sunak is relieved he can now ride away in the sunset…
Yeah in California
He’s got books to flog and speaking dates to go on for a million a pop.
RIP Britain
Unfortunately there will be no peace.
Bit late for that – country has been dead for years. Tories killed it.
@@machidaman
Labour will bury it.
Absolute coward.
How labour did it. they did it because it’s either labour or conservatives.
Exactly. Sit tight till the other one screws up then it’s your turn and that’s why you should always have controlled opposition so that way you never lose.
Very much of the “democracy”😂
The same system that USA have. Democrats or republicans
No, it isn’t. There are other parties or independents.
Oxfordshire got rid of conservatives, and voted in lib dems in all but one of the seats that went to Labour. Henley and Thame always voted for conservatives. There was a 72. 3% turnout, and lib dems won. It is many of the electorates fault for sticking with the two main parties. Now both Cameron and Boris have lib dems MPs😅
We had reform but the social engineering and tribal nature of people still meant there were die hard votes for Labour and tories. That’s the incredible thing.
Labour didn’t do it. The Tories were just so bad. Labour only gained 1.8% on Corbyn’s historical failure. A 35% vote share is the lowest of any winning party. Shows just how bad the Tories have been.
Absolutely. The election highlights our broken electoral system.
Labour were crippled by Starmers support for genocide
Yes. This election was get the conservatives out at all costs, not vote Labour because they are anything special.
Sour grapes yeah haaaaaa
The Tories were really bad … Jeremy Hunt … we saw just how bad he really turned out to be for all his elitist heritage.
I didn’t vote for Labour but i dont feel anywhere near as negatively as most people in this comments.
A lot seem like bots
@@PikaJess123 Yeah I think you’re right.
Give it chance..
Wait a couple of months….
@@PikaJess123
On both sides
Nothing will change, Labour will raise taxes, not deal with the illegal immigration and life in Britain will get harder for anyone who is not rich.
It will be uncomfortable for rich people too – but at least they’ll have the option to move abroad along with all their tax contributions.
They said they wont raise taxes. I wouldn’t mind if they did though if they put the money towards the NHS
@PikaJess123 you wouldn’t mind I they did? Lol love how you’re going to reconcile that with the cost of living crisis. Besides politicians always say anything to get elected. Give it 6 months the government will take more of our money
You know we let in over a million immigrants legally per year? Only 30,000 are illegal, but sure immigration’s the problem. Nah mate
@@PikaJess123 Putting more to the NHS won’t fix the NHS. The NHS is a money blackhole, it’s broken to the core. It’s needs rebuilding from the ground up not more money that will be wasted on managers.
From one plum to another
You spelt “globalist” wrong.
Despite Greens going from 1 to 4 seats, and Reform having the same, Greens still going ignored and supressed in 3… 2…
Media is so rw
Utter nonsense. The BBC had the Greens results as one of their main stories.
I think it’s more shocking since reform were polled way higher.
it’s not hard to be better than the conservatives it’s a really low bar
They were not better, but simply perceived as less worse.
Reminder that in Europe, only the UK and Belarus use FPTP. That the LD got 1 seat for every 50k votes received while Reform got 1 seat for every 1 million votes received is daft.
I’m going to try real hard to feel bad for Reform. Hmmm… nope, can’t do it.
@@PersonalPariahthat’s because, despite your age you have been indoctrinated by social engineering. Perhaps your 40ish plus years means you’ve succumbed to it. But I do know you are old enough to have seen through the empty promises of the left right dichotomy smokeshow. Shame on you.
And now the floodgates open.
Flying in to Heathrow under cover of darkness.
They already were open. Now, it’s consensual.
Nothing new, happened decades ago.
@@daveoliver5838 1948. 1998.
So Labours vote share increased by 1.6% and as aresult it gets 100% increasse in seats share. That’s some cool democracy. Looking forward to doing 1.6% more work in my job and getting a 100% pay rise.
Not a single person was forced to vote for Labour. Not one.
UK fptp election system is terrible. similarly 2019 tories got 43% of the popular vote but got a majority of seats. this time its even worse because of reform gaining a lot, but not enough to win, splitting the votes, handing the win to labour.
we’re all fuckdd
Economy gone, borders gone, civil rights gone, healthcare gone, infrastructure gone, transport gone, brexit gone, education gone, military gone. Shameful protest “win”.
ahh the classic. complaining about borders! classic racist conservatives
@@cwega2463he complained about a lot of things, you just chose to pick out the one that you personally are emotional about. Nonetheless, migration is one of the top concerns of voters throughout Europe.
@@wheeIz i disagreed with all of his points, just i pointed out the objectively morally wrong take. because conservatives have normalised it so much, and forgotten about the human element.
“How labour did it”
1. Exists
2. Not the other party
One third of the votes, almost two thirds of the seats, FPTP is looking less defensible than ever.
2 minute silence for UK.
