ON a historic night that reshaped the British political landscape, Labour, under the astute leadership of Keir Starmer, not only reclaimed the trust of its traditional heartlands but did so with a numerical superiority that echoed the landslide victories of yore.  

In a stunning rebuke to the Conservative Party, Labour secured 413 seats – a figure that places Starmer in the league of Tony Blair’s monumental 1997 victory.
