Your support makes all the difference.Election night has been and gone, and there have been several exciting twists, turns and upsets.
Sir Keir Starmer was handed the keys to Downing Street, recording a landslide victory for Labour after Nigel Farage’s Reform UK split the Tory vote.
In a night of stunning results, there was a bloodbath at the top of the Tory party, with a record number of cabinet ministers losing their seats.
Now the bigger picture is formed, it is time for the comings and goings on Downing Street. By early afternoon Sir Keir Starmer will be in Downing Street and a new cabinet will be appointed.
If you’re following along with the results and have a question on the results submit it below as I join you at midnight for this special “Ask Me Anything” event. I am hoping to keep answering your questions through the night and on Friday morning.
