Keir Starmer Vows To ‘Rebuild Britain’ As Prime Minister After Labour’s Landslide Election Win

Keir Starmer today vowed to “rebuild Britain” after becoming prime minister following Labour’s landslide election victory.

The new PM invited the whole country to “join this government of service in the mission of national renewal”.

“Our work is urgent and we begin it today,” he declared in a speech outside outside 10 Downing Street.

He was speaking after meeting with King Charles at Buckingham Palace to formally become PM.

With two results still to be declared, Labour have 412 seats – 211 more than they won in 2019. That means Starmer will have a Commons majority of more than 170.

It is a remarkable turnaround since he took over from Jeremy Corbyn in 2020 in the wake of Labour’s worst election performance since 1935.
