Peter Anderson: UK Correspondent on Labour's landslide victory in the UK election
Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays
The UK Labour Party has won county's election in a commanding fashion. The tally of Sir Keir Starmer's party's seats has now topped 360 seats —it needed 326 for a majority— and he will become Prime Minister. Starmer says they're here to return Britain to the service of working people. UK Correspondent Peter Anderson told Heather du Plessis-Allan that they’re expecting, based on figures so far, for Labour to end up with about 410 seats in the 650 seat Parliament, giving them a majority of 170 seats. In comparison, he said, the Conservatives are looking to have shed more than 200 seats, and will likely have a rather lowly 140/150 MPs at most.
