Keir Starmer is now Prime Minister of Great Britain: “Politics will be a force for good”

It's clear that Labor managed to take home an election victory last night, meaning the Tories' 14-year reign is now over.

Starmer met King Charles at lunchtime where he was officially asked if he wanted to form a government and said yes.

After two-thirty Swedish time on Friday, according to tradition, he was greeted with cheers when he delivered a speech outside 10 Downing Street in London.

There he started thanking Rishi Sunak for being in power.

– We recognize his determination and hard work as a leader. But now our country has voted for a change, Starmer said, then continued:

– Even if you voted Labour, and especially if you didn't, I want to say straight away: My government will work for you. Politics can be a force for good, and we want to show that.
