Sir Keir Starmer says change starts now as he enters Downing Street with the biggest House of Commons majority in history.

The Labour leader said it was time to deliver, as the party had officially secured the 326 seats needed to secure a majority, amid thunderous applause.

Rishi Sunak has said he has urged Sir Keir to concede defeat after the party suffered a crushing defeat. Exit polls show the party will lose just 131 seats, down from 365 five years ago.

Several senior Conservative MPs, including Penny Mordaunt, Grant Shapps and Jacob Rees-Mogg, have lost their seats, and more are expected to lose their seats as the final result is announced.

Exit polls show Labour will win a majority of around 170 seats, or about 410 seats.

The Liberal Democrats are expected to win 61 seats, Reform UKP 13, the Greens 2, the Scottish National Party 10 and Plaid Comrie 4.

Elsewhere, Nigel Farage was elected in Clacton, winning his seat on his eighth attempt.

Dan Norris, the new MP for North East Somerset and Hanham, said he had achieved a Mogg-Seat victory after defeating Sir Jacob Rees Mogg.

He said: We finished the mog-sheet.

It is a great honour to serve the people of Keynsham, North East Somerset, Hanham and surrounding areas. This is my home. I am very proud of all the communities and want to see our area become the best it can be.

Keir Starmer changed Labour, and now he will change the country for the better. This is a victory for honesty. There are no more rules for them, and there are different rules for everyone else.

It's a victory for stability. Never forget the economic chaos that the British people are still paying for. Let's get to work now.
