61-year-old former public prosecutor and human rights lawyer, Sir Keir Starmer is the UK's new prime minister, after his Labour Party swept to power in a landslide general election victory.

The Conservative Party suffered a dramatic collapse, losing 250 seats over the course of a devastating night, following a tumultuous 14 years in power, which saw five different prime ministers run the country.

This result marks a stunning reversal from the 2019 election when Labour, led by the veteran left-wing politician Jeremy Corbyn, suffered its worst electoral defeat in almost a century.

In his first speech as prime minister after greeting dozens of jubilant Labour supporters who had lined Downing Street, Sir Keir vowed to run a "government of service" and to kick start a period of "national renewal".

On this episode of Morning Shot, Andy Williams, Managing Director at Penta Group’s London office shares his insights.
