(Video: Reuters) U.K. ELECTION RESULTS KEIR STARMER BECOMES PRIME MINISTER AFTER LABOUR’S HISTORIC WIN Updated July 5, 2024 at 3:10 p.m. EDT |Published July 5, 2024 at 2:48 a.m. EDT Listen 1 min Share Add to your saved stories Save LONDON — Keir Starmer became Britain’s prime minister on Friday, ushering in a new era after 14 years of Conservative rule, following a stunning victory that brought his left-leaning Labour Party to power with a huge majority. Starmer met King Charles III at Buckingham Palace and was invited to form a government. Speaking outside 10 Downing Street, Starmer said his would be a “government of service,” telling voters: “You have given us a clear mandate, and we will use that to deliver change.” Key updates * Starmer vows to rebuild nation in first speech as prime minister * King Charles invites Starmer to form a government, capping Labour victory * Conservative lawmakers strike gracious note in concession speeches Skip to end of carousel HERE'S WHAT TO KNOW: Labour is returning to power after 14 years in the opposition — and after Starmer led an effort to purge the hard-left elements of the party and sell voters on a “changed Labour.” Rishi Sunak, the outgoing prime minister, accepted responsibility for the Conservative Party’s worst defeat. He will continue to serve as a lawmaker in the House of Commons, and for a short time as leader of the Conservative Party, until his successor is chosen. Britain has elected its most diverse Parliament, and Starmer has appointed a diverse cabinet. Among the top officials is Rachel Reeves, who became Britain’s first female chancellor of the exchequer, or finance minister. 1/3 End of carousel Skip to end of carousel HERE'S WHAT TO KNOW Labour is returning to power after 14 years in the opposition — and after Starmer led an effort to purge the hard-left elements of the party and sell voters on a “changed Labour.” Rishi Sunak, the outgoing prime minister, accepted responsibility for the Conservative Party’s worst defeat.
