Peter Anderson: UK Correspondent on Labour's landslide victory in the UK election
Manage episode 427285137 series 2098282
The UK Labour Party has won county's election in a commanding fashion.
The tally of Sir Keir Starmer's party's seats has now topped 360 seats —it needed 326 for a majority— and he will become Prime Minister.
Starmer says they're here to return Britain to the service of working people.
UK Correspondent Peter Anderson told Heather du Plessis-Allan that they’re expecting, based on figures so far, for Labour to end up with about 410 seats in the 650 seat Parliament, giving them a majority of 170 seats.
In comparison, he said, the Conservatives are looking to have shed more than 200 seats, and will likely have a rather lowly 140/150 MPs at most.
