Labour, led by Sir Keir Starmer, is set for a landslide victory with an estimated 410 seats, a 170-seat majority, ending 14 years of Conservative rule, according to an Ipsos exit poll for Sky News. The Conservatives, led by Rishi Sunak, are projected to win just 131 seats, their lowest tally in history. Key Tory figures, including Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, are expected to lose their seats. Labour’s Angela Rayner praised Starmer’s transformation of the party, while Conservative Robert Buckland called for reflection on the defeat.
