Labour looks set to end 14 years of Conservative rule with Rishi Sunak’s party on course for a dramatic defeat.
Sir Keir Starmer is on course for Downing Street as an exit poll indicated his Labour Party will sweep to power.
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.
Going for a summer election rather than waiting until the autumn was always a gamble, and the Prime Minister was not helped by the scandal of Tory candidates and officials allegedly heading to the bookies armed with inside knowledge of the date.
