Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has taken the office of the prime minister after a landslide victory in the British general election. Starmer’s Labour Party won a stunning 412 seats in the 650-seat parliament, securing a majority of 168.
“Keir Starmer is officially Britain’s next prime minister after Labour were declared winners of the general election,” the Daily Telegraph reported Friday. The Labour Party leader “travelled to see the King at the palace. He has been appointed as the country’s next prime minister and asked to form an administration.”
Out-going Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives got only 121, suffering the biggest loss in history. The BBC confirmed Thursday’s election outcome as the “[w]orst ever result in Conservative Party history.” Sunak announced his resignation as Prime Minister and stepped down as party leader as a result.
Voters abandoned the Conservative Party in droves after it failed to deliver on Brexit after eight years of inaction. Illegal immigration is now at an all-time high after 14 years of Conservative rule. Despite a Conservative government at the helm, the globalist woke agenda made deep inroads into schools, public service, police, and other government institutions.
Many Conservative voters switched to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, which received 14 percent of the total vote. The presence of the Reform UK party could have accounted for the defeat of Conservative candidates in several constituencies.
Nigel Farage-led Reform UK party won four seats. Farage, a long-time member of the European Parliament, will be entering the British parliament for the first time.
President Donald Trump congratulated Farage on his win of over 10,000 votes over his Conservative rival. “Donald Trump has congratulated Nigel Farage on his “big WIN” after the Reform UK leader was elected as an MP for the first time,” Sky News (UK) reported. “Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump said: “Congratulations to Nigel Farage on his big WIN of a Parliament Seat Amid Reform UK Election Success. Nigel is a man who truly loves his Country! DJT.”
The Labour Party lost four seats to insurgent “pro-Palestinian” candidates in Muslim-dominated constituencies. Former Labour lawmaker George Galloway’s Workers Party of Britain (WPB) also took votes away from the party. Galloway, the 69-year-old far-left politician who made his career peddling anti-Israel campaigns, lost his parliamentary seat in the northern English town of Rochdale.
“Labour has lost four seats to pro-Gaza independent candidates and been run close by several others, as the impact of the Middle East crisis dented an otherwise jubilant night for Keir Starmer’s party,” the Guardian newspaper reported. “Jonathan Ashworth, the party’s shadow Cabinet Office minister, was one of the highest profile political casualties of the rise in support for pro-Palestinian candidates in urban areas with high Muslim populations.”
In an apparent bid to intimidate voters, Palestinian flags were seen flattering over several polling stations. “Numerous Palestinian flags have been spotted in the streets of London as Britons head to the polls to vote in today’s General Election,” the GB News TV channel noted.
