It was a punishing election for conservative and national parties across the UK.

Overall, Labour gained 211 seats, giving them a firm majority in the House of Commons, leader Keir Starmer becoming the new Prime Minister.

UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Andrew Dickens that although Labour was elected with a massive majority, it’s only just under 2% more than they got when Jeremy Corbyn was the leader of the party.

He said that it’s absolutely clear that nobody within the country wants Labour or the Tories to run the country, and he thinks they know that.

Liddle said Labour knows they have a lot of winning over to do before they go into the next election, five years from now.
