The UK's centre-left Labour Party had been ahead in opinion polls for months and a landslide victory was projected.
Labour leader Keir Starmer declared that "change begins now", claiming a victory for the Labour Party in the UK election. Britain's Labour Party has officially ended the Conservative Party's 14 years in power, winning 326 seats in the parliamentary election, meaning it now holds a majority in the 650-seat-strong House of Commons. "It feels good, I have to be honest," Starmer said.
The pro-independence Scottish National Party was forecast to win only 10 seats, its worst showing since 2010, after a period of turmoil in which two leaders have quit in little over a year. In the last six UK elections, only one exit poll has got the outcome wrong. Official results will follow over the next few hours.
