In a historic moment, Keir Starmer has officially become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after meeting King Charles at Buckingham Palace.
Following this significant development, Starmer is set to address the nation from Downing Street.
Earlier today, Rishi Sunak resigned as prime minister after his meeting with the monarch. In his resignation speech, Sunak announced that he would also step down as Conservative Party leader, although not immediately.
Starmer has pledged to usher in a new era of change in Britain following his party's decisive victory in the parliamentary election, which ended 14 years of Conservative rule.
With a commanding majority in the 650-seat parliament, Labour has achieved a landslide win, delivering the Conservatives a historic defeat.
