Tory rule ends in Labour landslide
FOURTEEN years of catastrophic Conservative government have come to an end as Britain gave the Labour Party a general election landslide.
Exit poll predictions issued immediately after polling stations closed at 10pm put Labour on 410 seats and the Tories humbled on just 131.
This represents a gain for Labour of 209 seats over 2019, while the Tories will have lost nearly two-thirds of their parliamentary representation.
