The Labour party has won over 400 seats (out of 650) in the 2024 UK General Elections, and Keir Starmer is expected to replace Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister. The Conservatives, in power for the last fourteen years, have suffered a rout, losing over two-thirds of their seats. The SNP has collapsed in Scotland, mostly to Labour, and the Liberal Democrats have gained over sixty seats.

Now watch them do nothing of consequence.

Oh I'm sure they can privatize the NHS some more. Maybe make some more arms sales to Israel. Cut off healthcare for trans people.

They'll do all sorts of stuff!

Right, forgot about those devastatingly important priorities.

The least exciting Labor victory in history.
