Good morning. Liz Truss lost. A new dawn has broken, has it not?
At 4.58am, a moment before Jacob Rees-Mogg was defeated in Somerset, Labour won their 326th seat and officially won the election. As of a few minutes ago, they had reached 408 seats. In front of a jubilant crowd at 5am, the new prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, said: “We did it … now we can look forward again, walk into the morning – the sunlight of hope, pale at first, but getting stronger through the day.”
