Labour has officially won the 2024 general election after reaching the required 326 seats.
Speaking in central London, the next prime minister Keir Starmer says "change begins now".
"It feels good, I have to be honest," he tells a cheering crowd.
He adds that the task of a Labour government is "nothing less than renewing the ideas that hold our country together".

Watching from America and saying, “if only our leaders were so eloquent… Or at least not as stupid”.
I’m jealous
Hang on, the US leaders are not as stupid?
Trust me they’re just as stupid. And arrogant…
@@hannahcallow6374at least they don’t swear an oath to an unelected king..
@@Morgonna I’d rather he was stupid this man plans to destroy our country
Honestly, if he didn’t retract all the stupid austerity measures Tories implemented in these past 14 years, he would really fumbled this change
Have you seen the national debt?
You are as clueless as you are stupid.
If you think things were bad before, just wait for what’s coming.
He won’t retract a single one.
💯👍
Well the Tories really fucked our economy, so he’s got limited options on spending, and the tax burden is already high. So no, he can’t reverse all the austerity cuts. It’s gonna take a while to turn things around. That’s just the reality of the situation.
@Isclachau More fool him! (And what about implementing Proportional Representation: the ONLY way to keep the Tories from power for good? 😏)
Almost everything in UK is behind compared to other European countries, housing, airports, healthcare, roads, Law Enforcement, right down to the water pressure in the house.
Germany’s law enforcement took down a coup, Belgium’s healthcare ranks 3rd in the world, France has arguably the best water supply in the world, Italy has on average some of the longest living people in the world with a blue zone in their country. Norway’s prison system is great too, meanwhile England still hires surgeons and GP’s from Europe even though they left the EU. Their own government doesn’t play by its own rules, Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock during the pandemic are prime examples. Their healthcare service is collapsing, their teachers and ambulance workers are striking too.
How far has the “5th richest country on Earth” fallen.
Show us what you can do Labour..
Scotland has the best water in Europe. Fact
What I’m more concerned about is the Sharia law coming to Britain in about 20-30 years time
They’ll show by accelerating islamisation of UK😂
😂
Labour didn’t really win, 14 years of inept regime rule by the Tories defeated them. So Labour was the default fallback solution.
So if labour didn’t really win like you say, then who really won 🤔❓
keep coping.
So the Tories..’didn’t really lose’? LOL…right!!!!
The monarchy @@LionHeart_.
Labour won,. Reform supporters are stamping their feet. 🤣🤣
They have a very short window to make Britain work again or they will be out in 5 years. Ruling with 35ish percent of the vote means they are only there because the Torries were so bad. not because Labor are any good.
I agree, people voted the torries out more than Labour in, conservatives had to go, I think if Diane Abbott was Labour leader they would’ve won. Starmer had 10 thousand less votes in his own constituency than in 2019.
The UK is broke af and circling the toilet. Labour will accelerate the downfall. That’s the only positive
Sunak was a brilliant PM but he couldn’t do much to kick out the refugees and asylum seekers who keep coming to Great Britain – Let us see what Labour can do about it. It is a relaxing time for Sunak – he had done a good job for the UK in the most difficult times. All the best for Starmer!
@@anthonyluna352 Rude fact. Like it or not.
You’re right but does it matter? At least we get a temporary breather from this waking nightmare of conservativism
I think the result speaks less about Labours ability to govern this country and more about the incompetence of the conservatives.
Public have proven their stupidity with this
It’s a globalist uni party so makes no difference
@@Dynasty1818Most definitely.
Especially since they only got 1.6% more votes. If the main opposition was a lettuce, they’d still win.
What incompetence is that?
His personal vote was down, and the national Labour Party vote up 1.3%. The Tories lost it by a loss of 22.4%.
@@David-lb4te 💯👍
Yes he has less of a vote share than Corbyn in 2017. Despite the ‘landslide’. What does that tell us?
Damn that says a lot about tories
Glad labour got in 🎉😊
@jackie6343 why because you want to be back in the eu
Someone commented before
“We don’t vote governments in but the parties vote themselves out”
As a Bangladeshi Muslim myself, I am saying that the West should check and give citizenship to people from Muslim countries. Sheltering ideologically radical people in Western countries is suicidal. Only educated Muslims who are liberal and free-thinking, free from religious fanaticism can get citizenship of Western countries.
@@user-dl9cw4dj5rright on!
@@user-dl9cw4dj5rwell said mate. I hope more think like you. If so then all are welcome.
@@user-dl9cw4dj5r👏
I felt like UK 🇬🇧 has returned to UK people and not to Indians🇮🇳
It’s going to take deccades to undo all the damage tories have done to the country and the UK reputation on the world stage
Ah yes, the introduction of your excuse, so you can blame the Tories every time labour fails.
here take your victim card 🍆
Thing is, if Labour don’t work miracles and do it all within five years, people will vote the Tories back in because Labour ‘failed’.
@wheeIz Almost every economist right and left wing have stated the same thing. The mess the nation is in will take decades to fix as the hole the Troy party left us in is awful.
Nothing will change that, and in 50 years time we Will still be talking about the epic mess.made by this Tory government, it will not be forgotten.
@@rivgacooper5330 A lot of that would have happened irregardless of who was in power. We aren’t stupid, we know labour won’t take responsibility for their screw ups. You can make as many excuses as you like.
The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the Axe, for the Axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them.
Turkish Proverb
The axe are the tories
Brilliant proverb
Definitely
I hope we can join the EU again.
👍
I wish my country had Free and Fair Elections.
He, his party and every politician still need to convince me that they are not a crooked bunch of self serving charlatans…
“Country first, party second.” That sounds like a good ambition for any elected PM. Good to hear.
It should be the ambition country not party
Deluded. No chance I will trust this stooge either (Tony Blair 2.0)
Everybody said that until they fucked everything up
They all say that lmao
He is a politician what do you want him to say ? Sweet words .
I’m over the moon to see the Tories gone but not at all excited for Starmer’s premiership, he is utterly charmless and a charisma void…not to mention he’s basically a Tory-lite. 😩
Only SIX Labour PMs EVER,yet the Tories STILL blame Labour for EVERYTHING.The Tories have had FOUR in TWO YEARS.
and truss destroyed the economy and sunak cant even get planes to rwanda 😆what r they even crying about
Another Globalist Puppet
@@terryloftus3207 I didn’t vote labour, but I accept the result. Because now all the hot air will stop, and it’s all action now. We will see if labour will actually back up their claims in the next 5 years. If immigration is higher by then, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is major revolt like France. Because by then labour and conservative will have showed their worth. No more talk, don’t let us down.
You do realise labour would have every right to tell you to go and fu*k yourself?😂
That is true. And I agree 100% that the Conservatives wasted their recent mandate. For the next 4 years, be prepared to hear how the Labour government’s incompetence is blamed on “14 years of the Tories”. Starmer is the only competent Labour MP.
well if you think we were in a mess with the Cons , wait until this guy gets his hands on it!
Fortunately sadiq khan isn’t yet Lord Mayor
Fortunately,

After 15 years of being treated like crap as a disabled person by Conservative . There is a change . One can hope . One can pray we will get respect now.
This is not a day to celebrate. A man who cannot and will not act as a genocide continues with the support of his party shouldn’t be in any position of influence.
Amen 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
i agree
@@SuperKripke I agree, the UK needs to do more to stop the cultural genocide in Ukraine being perpetrated by Russia.
I doubt it
Its just over a year since Queen died and Charles is already on his 3rd prime minister like DAMN
Just copy and paste this comment from the Sunak speech video lol
I’ve no idea how you propose this could ever be his fault.
@@ALEXXXCTROFFICIAL They’re not? It’s just an observation
She died 1 year and 10 months ago.
So not one year, but 2 years. Still however, yeah, it is indeed crazy.
It’s nearly two years 😅
We’re fucked.
Another liar
