Following a resounding victory, Labour leader Keir Starmer has been elected as the United Kingdom’s new Prime Minister. In his first speech outside Downing Street, he stated that the public had voted “decisively for change.”
Starmer led Britain’s Labour Party to a landslide election victory, becoming the country’s 58th prime minister on Friday. He is the first leader from a center-left party to win a national election in the United Kingdom since Tony Blair, who won three in a row beginning in 1997.
Sir Keir, who formally replaced Tory leader Rishi Sunak following an audience with the King at Buckingham Palace, has begun to appoint his new cabinet, which will convene for the first time on Saturday.
