The other side of the coin is carried out by Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP), which has suffered a real setback, having received only nine substitutes, having lost 38 since the last match. Close behind is Sinn Féin, which repeats its seven substitutes.

The Fall of the tories is partly due to the unprecedented advances in the formation of to the far right Reform Britain from former Europhobic MEP Nigel Faragewho has won his first four deputies, including his after seven failed attempts. With the same representation (four seats) the Greens, favourites of the young vote, the unionists (DUP) and the Welsh independence supporters (Plaid Cymru).

Starmer: ‘We must return politics to public service’

A triumphant Keir Starmer, blamed for “choking” the Labour Party after Jeremy Corbyn’s embarrassing defeat in 2019, has said “change starts now” as he emerged as the winner of the general election for the first time.

Eight Conservative ministers and former Prime Minister Lizz Truss lose their seats

The heavy defeat Tory This is reflected in the loss of seats by prominent figures, including former British Prime Minister Liz Truss and eight of Sunak’s ministers. These are the ministers for defence, justice, energy, education, culture, science, Wales and transport. The leader of the House of Commons, the Conservative Penny Mordaunt, was also defeated in the constituency of Portsmouth North to the Labour Party.

Mordaunt, a strong candidate to replace Sunak as leader of the Conservative Party, has declared that “democracy is never wrong”.

So far, the only ones to have retained their seats are the Prime Minister himself, Rishi Sunak, and the Economy Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, although the count is not yet complete.

Faced with the debacle, politicians tories like Robert Buckland, who was one of the first to lose his seat, have criticised the actions of their party colleagues in making ‘inflammatory’ statements and taking actions they consider ‘stupid’. has also accused the party of ‘not listening to the people’, despite having voted for them ‘for fourteen years’.

Cycle change

“The Labour Party won this election and I called Kier Starmer to congratulate him on his victory,” said Rishi Sunak.

“Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner, with goodwill on all sides. This should give us all confidence in the stability of our country and its future,” he said.

Looking sad, Sunak has apologised and announced he will travel to London from his constituency in northern England to leave the leadership of the executive to which he has “given everything”, and will provide more details on next steps.

Starmer will become prime minister after receiving the “permission” of King Charles III, as tradition dictates. Once at 10 Downing Street, his official office and residence, he is expected to deliver his first address to the nation and begin appointing his ministers.

The new parliament will be inaugurated next Tuesday with the election of the president and on July 17 the king will officially open the session with a speech announcing the government’s legislative programme.
