World leaders have congratulated Sir Keir Starmer after Labour's landslide victory. European Union President Ursula von der Leyen expressed anticipation for a "constructive partnership" with the new Prime Minister. French President Emmanuel Macron was pleased with his first phone call with Sir Keir.
In a speech at Lib Dem HQ, Sir Keir humorously referenced his campaign stunts and thanked voters for their renewed trust, promising not to let them down. He announced an immediate campaign for an emergency health and care budget, emphasizing that every Liberal Democrat MP would advocate for carers.
Following the election, Rishi Sunak is set to submit his resignation to King Charles III. Sunak spent around 40 minutes at Tory HQ addressing party members after the Conservatives suffered their worst election defeat, securing fewer than 130 seats. Prominent Tories who lost their seats include Liz Truss, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Penny Mordaunt, Grant Shapps, Gillian Keegan, Lucy Frazer, Johnny Mercer, Alex Chalk, Robert Buckland, and Michael Fabricant.
This significant political shift suggests a potential change in the UK's relationship with the European Union and marks a challenging period for the Conservative Party. Sir Keir's victory signals a new direction for the UK, with a focus on health and social care reforms.
