Labour wins UK general election

Conservative Party concedes defeat

Labour set to form government

The Labour Party has won the 2024 UK general election, ending 14 years of Conservative rule. Labour leader Keir Starmer will now become Prime Minister.

The Conservatives, led by Rishi Sunak, conceded defeat early on Friday morning. Sunak said that he had called Starmer to congratulate him on his victory.

Labour won a majority of seats in the House of Commons, with 330 seats to the Conservatives' 260. The Scottish National Party won 50 seats, the Liberal Democrats won 20 seats, and the Greens won 10 seats.

The election was called by Sunak in a bid to break the deadlock in Parliament over Brexit. However, the election campaign was dominated by issues such as the cost of living crisis, the NHS, and education.

Labour's victory is a significant moment in British politics. It is the first time that the party has won a general election since 2005. It is also the first time that a Labour leader has won two general elections in a row since Tony Blair.

The result of the election is likely to have a significant impact on the UK's future. Labour has promised to hold a second referendum on Brexit, to end austerity, and to invest in public services.

The Conservative Party is now in opposition for the first time since 2010. The party is likely to face a period of soul-searching as it tries to rebuild after its defeat.

The 2024 general election was a historic moment in British politics. It is a moment that will have a lasting impact on the country for years to come.
