Saturday, July 6, 2024 Time for change Sir Keir Starmer has delivered a historic election result for Labour, while the Conservatives suffered their worst ever parliamentary defeat. The new prime minister has promised change. Now it is time to see if he can deliver on his pledges and maintain the support that has propelled him into Downing Street. There is no doubt that Labour has won a landslide, taking more than 400 seats. But there is a more complex picture underneath: the party received 34 per cent of the national vote, compared to 24 per cent for the Conservatives. That is much closer than the pollsters had predicted.
