The party is on course for a landslide victory
Labour has passed the threshold to form a majority government as the party storms towards a landslide victory at the General Election . Keir Starmer's party has so far won 378 seats , passing the 326 seats required for a majority, with almost 200 Conservative constituencies toppled.
"A burden finally removed from the shoulders of this great nation." Mr Starmer continued: "I don't promise you it will be easy. Other key departures include Defence Secretary Grant Shapps and Commons leader Penny Mordaunt, who are among more than a dozen ministers to lose their seats. Conceding defeat, Rishi Sunak said: "Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner with goodwill on all sides.
Reform UK has four MPs so far, with Lee Anderson retaking his seat in Ashfield. Party chairman Richard Tice also won in Boston and Skegness, while Nigel Farage won a seat in Parliament for the first time. Rupert Lowe won the party's fourth seat in Great Yarmouth.
