Sir Keir Starmer has led Labour to a decisive victory in the UK general election, securing over 400 seats and ending 14 years of Conservative rule. Moments after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak conceded defeat, Starmer addressed jubilant supporters, proclaiming, "We did it, you campaigned for it, you fought for it, you voted for it and now it has arrived, change begins now." The election marks Labour's return to Downing Street for the first time since 2010, with significant losses for the Tories and gains for the Liberal Democrats and Reform UK.
