General Election: the UK picture shows Labour landslide on the cards

Sir Keir Starmer looks on course to become the new Prime Minister - taking a landslide General Election win.

The broadcasters' exit poll's suggesting his party will claim 410 seats.

The Tories are predicted to see their numbers in the Commons slump to just 131.

Some of the Conservatives' most senior figures are also predicted to be voted out, including chancellor Jeremy Hunt, defence secretary Grant Shapps and leader of the House Penny Mordaunt.

The first results have been declared in the last hour - with Labour's Bridget Phillipson being returned in Houghton and Sunderland South.

Labour also held Blyth and Ashington.

The Lib Dems will take 61 seats according to the exit poll - Reform could win as many as 13 - and the SNP look like they'll be reduced to 10 seats.
