The Labour party has won over 400 seats (out of 650) in the 2024 UK General Elections, and Keir Starmer is expected to replace Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister. The Conservatives, in power for the last fourteen years, have suffered a rout, losing over two-thirds of their seats. The SNP has collapsed in Scotland, mostly to Labour, and the Liberal Democrats have gained over sixty seats.

Well known by... his policies? The jury's still out because he only just got into power. He could go back to more Corbynite policies by stealth.

Na, his policies were nothing close to definitive on any positions. Honestly, that part of the left has been fighting the far right so long that they've lost track of where the lines are supposed to be and just lie as policy.
