UK elections: Labour Party's historic win less than five years after catastrophic defeat

Britain’s Labour Party swept to power Friday after more than a decade in opposition. Labour leader Keir Starmer will officially become prime minister later in the day, leading his party back to government less than five years after it suffered its worst defeat in almost a century. In the merciless choreography of British politics, he will take charge in 10 Downing St. hours after Thursday's votes are counted — after Conservative leader Rishi Sunak left and went to Buckingham Palace to offer his resignation to King Charles III.
