Keir Starmer arrived at Buckingham Palace today to be formally installed as Britain's 58th PM after benefiting from voters' damning verdict on the Tories.
The Labour leader, with wife Victoria, was driven up to the Palace for his audience with the King shortly after Rishi Sunak exited, having tendered his resignation.
The time-honoured choreography comes as Sir Keir's majority ticks up to 170, just short of Tony Blair's 179 in 1997. The Tories have 121 with just two left to declare, far worse than their previous nadir of 156 in 1906.
The Lib Dems also inflicted massive pain on the Conservatives, racking up a record 71 seats as Reform leeched millions of votes and came second in around a hundred constituencies - but only scored four MPs of their own.
However, Labour's victory is being dubbed a 'loveless landslide' and a 'super meh-jority', having received barely one in three votes across the UK.
