Starmer headed for No10 with landslide Labour majority according to exit poll

Labour will form the next government with a landslide majority, the exit poll predicts.

Labour will be the largest party with 410 seats, the major poll says.

Meanwhile Rishi Sunak's Conservatives are predicted to have just 131 seats, with the PM's term in office looking set to end in electoral disaster.

It is the first indication that opinion polling throughout the campaign which predicted a massive Labour win is correct.

It marks a dramatic turnaround since the 2019 general election, when Boris Johnson won the Tories a healthy 80-seat majority and Jeremy Corbyn led Labour to its worst result since 1935.

It will mean a Labour prime minister in No 10 for the first time in 2010 and the Conservatives facing a possible civil war as the fight for the future direction of the party and the battle to potentially replace Mr Sunak gets under way.

Labour - 410 (+209)
Conservatives - 131 (-241)
Liberal Democrats - 61 (+53)
Green Party - 2 (+1)
Reform UK  - 13 (+13)
SNP - 10 (-38)
Plaid Cymru - 4 (+2)
