While the final results are set to trickle in slowly, the exit poll for the UK election has shown a historic landslide for the Labour Party.

The poll suggests Sir Keir Starmer will be the next Prime Minister of one of our closest allies, with a potential majority of 170 seats, while the ruling Conservative Party is out after 14 years of power, and has suffered their worst ever defeat to boot.

To discuss the seismic change in UK politics, and what it might mean for a Kiwi OE to London, we’re joined now on The Front Page by former New Zealand political journalist turned expat, Henry Cooke.
