THE Tory party has suffered a historic wipeout with a devastating exit poll predicting it will have just 131 MPs with Labour on 410.
Sir Keir Starmer is on course to have achieved one of the biggest landslide election victories in history.
If the survey of voters is confirmed Nigel Farage's Reform UK has also secured a stunning breakthrough that would propel it into Parliament with 13 MPs. More than a dozen Tory "big beasts", including Cabinet ministers and leading backbench MPs, could be booted out in a brutal reckoning by voters after 14 years in Government.
Labour's predicted victory put it on its second-highest total of MPs ever, just shy of Sir Tony Blair when he secured 418 seats in 1997.
At that time, the Tories were left with 165 seats. Labour's predicted victory put it on its second-highest total of MPs, just shy of 418 in 1997.
The Tories were left with 165 seats at that time, marginally ahead of their then-record low of 1906 when they had plunged to just 156 MPs following a thrashing by the Liberals.
Rishi Sunak faces a backlash after his snap General Election gamble spectacularly backfired and landed the Tories with their worst result in the party's 190year history.
But last night Sir Keir thanked all those who voted for Labour.
He added on X: "To everyone who has campaigned for Labour in this election, to everyone who voted for us and put their trust in our changed Labour Party thank you."
In a campaign that appeared to have cursed the Tories from the off when the Prime Minister announced he was going to the country in the driving rain from a lectern in Downing Street, operational blunders, gaffes, a betting scandal and his early departure from D-Day commemorations compounded the already difficult position his party was in.
Mr Farage's late entry into the race turned the screw further.
