SVT foreign correspondent: “Starmer won't have a honeymoon when he moves to Downing Street”

There looks set to be a change of power in the UK. This is shown by the country’s large polling stations, which have historically been reliable.

Labour looks set to win 410 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons, while the Conservatives will win just 131.

– The voters have spoken and they are ready for change, Labour leader Keir Starmer says during his victory speech on Friday morning, after being elected in his north London constituency.

Foreign Correspondent: He will put pressure on the Labor Party.

Most notable is that the UK Reform Party, led by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, looks set to win more seats than expected. Here's what SVT's foreign correspondent Anna-Maja Persson says:

– If they get 13 mandates, that's a lot more than people think, she says.

– This will be Farage's eighth time being elected after seven attempts. It will put pressure on the Conservatives and Labour.

In a video on X, Nigel Farage says:

– The revolution against the establishment is underway.

If the exit polls are correct, Labour leader Keir Starmer will become the new prime minister of Great Britain. But in addition to the UK Reform Party, he also faces a disillusioned left-wing faction within his own party that he must deal with.

– He will not have a honeymoon when he moves to Downing Street.
