Rod Liddle: UK Correspondent on the aftermath of the UK Election

Published: July 8, 2024, 10:55 p.m.

It was a punishing election for conservative and national parties across the UK.\xa0

Overall, Labour gained 211 seats, giving them a firm majority in the House of Commons, leader Keir Starmer becoming the new Prime Minister.\xa0

UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Andrew Dickens that although Labour was elected with a massive majority, it\u2019s only just under 2% more than they got when Jeremy Corbyn was the leader of the party.\xa0

He said that it\u2019s absolutely clear that nobody within the country wants Labour or the Tories to run the country, and he thinks they know that.\xa0

Liddle said Labour knows they have a lot of winning over to do before they go into the next election, five years from now.\xa0
