Change of political cycle in the United Kingdom after fourteen years of conservative governments. Keir Starmer's Labour Party has achieved a resounding victory in Thursday's general election. With the results of two constituencies still to be announced, Labour has secured 412 seats, well above the threshold for an absolute majority, which stands at 326. The party led by Starmer since spring 2020 has thus brought about a spectacular turnaround from the figures of the last election, held in 2019 (202 MPs), at the peak of Boris Johnson's popularity.

No time to lose. The transfer of power in the United Kingdom is immediate. At five in the morning this Friday, the Labour Party managed to surpass the threshold of an absolute majority (326 seats; it has obtained 412, with the result of two constituencies yet to be known), and seven and a half hours later, Keir Starmer, accompanied by his wife, Victoria, entered Downing Street after being tasked by King Charles III to form a new executive, and thus becoming the 58th prime minister in the country's history.
