00:30The Labour Party won a crushing victory in the British parliamentary elections,
00:35putting an end to 14 years of conservative government, often tumultuous, and propelling
00:39Keith Starmer to power as Prime Minister.
00:42The electoral victory represents a reversal of an incredible situation for Starmer and
00:47the Labour Party, which critics and supporters said faced an existential crisis
00:52barely three years ago, when it seemed to have lost its way after its defeat in 2019.
