Labour has triumphed in the 2024 UK general election, clinching 410 seats and ending 14 years of Conservative rule. Sir Keir Starmer, set to be the next prime minister, declared "change begins now" during a celebratory speech in central London. The Conservatives, reduced to 144 seats, faced significant losses including high-profile figures like Grant Shapps and Jacob Rees-Mogg. Nigel Farage's Reform UK gained its first MPs, while former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn won his seat as an independent. The Green Party's Carla Denyer also secured a victory, reshaping Parliament's political landscape.
