Exit polls are predicting a huge victory for the Labour Party, while the Lib Dems are expected to also make huge gains
Sir Keir Starmer is on course for Downing Street as an exit poll indicated his Labour Party will sweep to power in the 2024 General Election.
Rishi Sunak’s term as Prime Minister looks set to end in electoral disaster, with the Conservatives forecast to endure heavy losses. It marks a dramatic turnaround since the 2019 general election, when Boris Johnson won the Tories a healthy 80-seat majority and Jeremy Corbyn led Labour to its worst result since 1935.The exit poll suggests Labour is on course for 410 seats, with the Tories reduced to 131.
From the rain-drenched speech announcing the surprise July 4 poll, through the D-Day debacle as he left Normandy early to record a TV interview to confused campaign messaging about a Labour “supermajority”, Mr Sunak struggled to convince the electorate he was the right man to lead the country. Mr Sunak is expected to resign after leading his party to defeat, but many of the contenders jostling to replace him are nervously awaiting their own constituency results to see if their leadership dreams survive the night.
