Election results: what will Starmer really do with landslide win?

Jul 5, 2024

The Conservative party have suffered their worst ever defeat and Keir Starmer has been swept to power in a landslide victory - but huge challenges are waiting in the new prime minister’s intray and while he has a massive majority now in Westminster, his support across the country is on shakier grounds.  

Some of Labour’s big names, who thought they’d be helping to form a new government, are out - beaten by pro-Gazan independents and Greens. 

And now Nigel Farage says that, after decimating the Conservative vote and plunging the party into chaos, he has his eyes on Labour. 

So what does this all mean, and what next for British politics? 

In this election special edition of The Political Fourcast Krishnan Guru-Murthy was joined by former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, Labour’s Bell Ribeiro-Addy and psephologist Luke Tryl.

Produced by Shaheen Sattar, Calum Fraser, Rob Thomson, Nick Jackson.
