PIERS Morgan has described Labour’s predicted landslide as a political “earthquake” and a “seismic night” for the UK.

The Piers Morgan Uncensored host joined our star-studded panel of experts for a Never Mind The Ballots election special tonight.

It comes as an exit poll has projected Labour steamrolling into Downing Street with a majority that may eclipse Tony Blair’s 1997 rout.

Labour is predicted to take 410 seats, up 209 from 2019.

It will leave the Tories with just 131 MPs, down 241 from Boris Johnson’s 80-seat majority five years ago.

The Lib Dems are expected to take 61 and Reform will have 13 MPs, the exit poll suggests.

Piers, who has interviewed Rishi Sunak twice, provided a snap reaction to the first indication of the election results.

He said: “It’s an earthquake. This is a political and social earthquake for this country, the likes of which I haven’t seen in my lifetime.

“I think first of all you have to say ‘congratulations to Keir Starmer, who has taken the party from being completely unelectable under Jeremy Corbyn to being a party with this gigantic majority.

“Of course there’s now huge pressure on him to deliver on the faith that the elctorate has shown him.

“A disaster for the Conservative Party which cannot be understated. Whichever way you look at this, it’s a seismic night.”

The exit poll suggests 14 years of Tory rule will come crashing to an end after Mr Sunak’s early election gamble failed to revive Tory fortunes.

It will leave the party with one of the lowest number of MPs in modern times – and is a mammoth plunge from the 365 seats won by Mr Johnson in 2019.

Piers added: “I don’t think this is necessarily down to Starmer’s fantastic, charismatic personality or any great policies.

“However, would Jeremy Corbyn have ever come close to anything like this whatever the Tories had done? No chance.

“In terms of how he has made the party more electable, moving them towards the centre, taking positions on things like Israel – very contentious for much of his party.

“Quite courageous decisions as the leader of the Labour Party, actually. For him now, the fundamental question is we’ve seen so little meat on the bone in terms of what his policies are going to be.

“We already know they’ve ruled out two-thirds of most of the tax revenue streams, so they’re going to come after the rich – inheritance tax we’re hearing, VAT on independent schools, all that kind of stuff.

“You can get away with that if it looks like you are genuinely improving the lives of everybody else. But if you’re not, and you’re whacking the middle classes and the rich then it can unravel quite quickly.”

Unless he defies the odds and avoids an expected heavy defeat, the PM will formally resign to King Charles on Friday morning before Sir Keir is asked by the monarch to form the next government.

The Labour leader will then appoint his Cabinet before finalising a raft of new laws likely to be announced to Parliament on July 17. 

Meanwhile, likes of Penny Mordaunt, Grant Shapps, Suella Braverman, Steve Baker and Robert Jenrick are all facing battles to keep their seats.

In Scotland, the SNP are expected to secure 10 seats with Plaid Cymru in Wales on four.
