LABOUR stormed to a historic landslide election victory overnight to crush the Tories and devastate the SNP in Scotland.

Anas Sarwar’s Scottish party rode the Labour wave across the UK to more than 30 seats - helping Sir Keir Starmer secure a thumping victory to become Britain's 58th Prime Minister.

Mr Starmer has swept into Downing Street after securing 412 seats, with the SNP and Tories limping to heavy losses.

The Labour leader said: “We said we would turn the page and we have. Today we start the next chapter, begin the work of change, the mission of national renewal and start to rebuild our country.”

In a celebratory speech to rapturous applause from supporters, Sir Keir said the UK was waking up to “the sunlight of hope".

He added: "Thank you truly - you have changed our country! But a mandate like this comes with great responsibility. Our task is… national renewal."

He had walked into the room hand in hand with his wife Victoria.

And Mr Sarwar immediately pointed to the 2026 Holyrood election and said that would be the "second stage" of delivering change for Scotland.

It comes as SNP leader John Swinney however was forced to admit the SNP had suffered a “very poor” night - adding there would be “soul searching” ahead for the Nats.

He said: “It's a very poor result for the SNP tonight.

"There will have to be a lot of soul searching as a party as a consequence of these results that have come in tonight."

Ex-Nat leader Nicola Sturgeon described the numbers as 'grim' as her predecessor Alex Salmond said the Nats had been "slaughtered" in the exit poll.
