good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six live from a wet downing street, where the uk's new prime minister is tonight hard at work shaping the team he wants around him, the people he hopes can deliver the change he has promised. labour has won an historic victory in the general election. the conservatives suffered their worst ever defeat in their near 200—year history. speaking outside downing street, the new prime minister, sir keir starmer, has promised to build a "government of service" and pledged to restore trust in politics. out of 650 possible seats — so far — labour has taken 412. the conservatives have been left with just 121. the liberal democrats had their best result in over a century with 71 mps, but a terrible night for the snp,

who went from 47 seats to just 9. history is made as sinn fein becomes the biggest party from northern ireland, with seven seats. reform uk took five seats, while the greens and plaid cymru will have four mps each. independents and others make up the remaining. there is one seat — inverness — left to declare. labour's victory is largely on the back of a dramatic decline in support for the conservatives. back in 2019, much of the uk was a sea of blue tory seats. but now, so many have changed hands. 0ur political editor chris mason is here. what an extraordinary night and day, huge change. yes, after a decade of change, we at the scottish

independence referendum, conservative governments are a small minority of —— majorities, boris johnson's landslide victory of five years ago, the brexit referendum, and underlined that change, a pattern of stability, as far as parties have spent considerable periods of time in downing street. 0nly periods of time in downing street. only the fourth time today that we have seen a transition of power from conservatives to labour or labour to conservatives, 1979, 97, 2010, and now 2024, so quite the day, and quite the change. just look at our new prime minister's face, undisguised joy. sir keir starmer and his wife victoria arriving their new street to be greeted by flag—waving labour activists. it has been 27 years since we have witnessed a activists. it has been 27 years since we have witnessed a moment like this. labour winning from

opposition and assuming power. labour does usually lose elections, but this looks like a turning point. i havejust but this looks like a turning point. i have just returned from buckingham palace, where i accepted an invitation from his majesty the king, to form the next government of this great nation. cheering i want to thank the outgoing prime minister rishi sunak. his achievement, as the first british ageing prime minister of our country, the extra effort that that will have required, should not be underestimated by any —— first asian prime minister. the country has voted decisively for change. whether you voted labour will not, but especially if you did not, i say to

cabinet, the new deputy prime minister angela rayner, the first woman to be chancellor ever, rachel reeves, and the new foreign secretary, david lammy. all of this began to unfold at ten o'clock last night. blimey, just take a look and taking those numbers. a nocturnal political earthquake. massive labour gains in england, scotland and wales, colossal conservative losses. just look at their faces. in norfolk, a former prime minister became a former mp. conservative party chairman richard holden had a nervous wait, winning byjust 20 votes. former cabinet ministerjacob rees—mogg wasn't so lucky, and lost. thank you very much to everybody and good night. # sweet caroline... lib dems leader

prime minister liz truss. she had a majority of more than 26,000 in a rock—solid tory seat in norfolk, but look at this chart — she lost to labour by just 630 votes. afterwards, liz truss, who oversaw the mini—budget that spooked the markets, accepted some responsibility for the tories' plight. ros atkins was at her constituency count. 0utside liz truss's constituency office, a clean—up was under way this morning. for those inside, there is a political mess that will take longer to fix. south west norfolk has elected a tory mp for decades. not any more. account in kings lynn, rumours swirled king's lynn, rumours swirled that this time was different. it was. —— at the count. irate this time was different. it was. -- at the count-— at the count. we have received a stron: at the count. we have received a strong indication _ at the count. we have received a strong indication that _ at the count. we have received a strong indication that liz - at the count. we have received a strong indication that liz truss i at the count. we have received a i strong indication that liz truss has lost. forthe strong indication that liz truss has lost. for the last few hours, the labour party has been telling us they believe they are in a strong position. they are apparently slow hand

i have already answered your questions. thank you very much. it was time for goodbye, to her colleagues, and for now, her political career. just one last opportunity to ask for a message to conservative voters, because i think they would like to hear from you... hearfrom you... from prime minister to losing her seatin from prime minister to losing her seat in two years. a damning judgment on a politician and party, delivered by voters who reached their breaking point. ros atkins, bbc news, norfolk. well, in scotland, labourstormed to victory, completely overturning the scottish national party's 2019 majority. look at the results from them. —— from then. scotland was dominated by the snp, with only one labour seat in edinburgh south. but now, the picture couldn't be more different. the central belt has gone almost completely to labour, with keir starmer�*s party gaining 36 seats and the snp reduced to just 9, with one seat still to declare.

the first ministerjohn swinney described the result as "very, very difficult and challenging." 0ur scotland editor james cook has the story. applause in dramatic, emphatic fashion, scottish labour is back. they swept the board here in glasgow, a moment for which they have waited nearly a decade. people across glasgow, scotland and the uk have voted for change. as the clock ticked at night, it slowly dawned on the snp this was not just a slowly dawned on the snp this was notjust a bad dream. it was a nightmare. notjust a bad dream. it was a nightmare-— notjust a bad dream. it was a nirhtmare. , ., ., , , nightmare. there is no doubt this has been a _ nightmare. there is no doubt this has been a very — nightmare. there is no doubt this has been a very difficult - nightmare. there is no doubt this has been a very difficult election, j has been a very difficult election, and the _ has been a very difficult election, and the snp has some serious questions _ and the snp has some serious questions to answer. what _ questions to answer. what are they? i think we need to reflect on the fact that — i think we need to reflect on the fact that during this campaign, the biggest _ fact that during this campaign, the biggest concern of voters was the cost of— biggest concern of voters was the cost of living crisis, and unfortunately, when voters were concerned — unfortunately, when voters were concerned with that, or they were hearing _ concerned with that, or they were hearing was discussion about luxury camper— hearing was discussion about luxury camper vans hearing was discussion about luxury campervans and ipads. a reference to two very different

investigations into snp finances and an msp's expenses. and for the leader, questions about his focus on independence. i want to make it clear that i take full responsibility for the scottish national party campaign and the outcome that has been achieved stop thatis outcome that has been achieved stop that is what leadership is about. you plan your campaign and you take responsibility for it when it is completed. the one brought more than a splash of red to clydeside. at the last election, labour had just one scottish mp. now we need a wide angle lens to fit them all in. let me be really clear. the vote last night— let me be really clear. the vote last night was not about independence, and i say directly to people _ independence, and i say directly to people who may have voted snp in the past, people who may have voted snp in the past may— people who may have voted snp in the past, may have voted for independence in the past or may even be thinking _ independence in the past or may even be thinking about voting for independence at some point in the future _ independence at some point in the future i_ independence at some point in the future. i want to deliver change for you _ future. i want to deliver change for you i_ future. i want to deliver change for you i don't — future. i want to deliver change for you. i don't support independence or a referendum, but i recognise people demand _ a referendum, but i recognise people demand change. labour's winning message was that it could deliver change. across the uk,

it might have five years or so to prove to voters that it can deliver it, but across scotland, there is a more urgent deadline. the scottish parliamentary elections are just two years away. the problem is, it may need to win that election before it can even tackle some of the country's biggest concerns. educational attainment gap is widening, health outcomes are weak, . ,., , is widening, health outcomes are weak, . , , is widening, health outcomes are weak, y,, , weak, child poverty is stubbornly hirh. all weak, child poverty is stubbornly high- all of _ weak, child poverty is stubbornly high. all of these _ weak, child poverty is stubbornly high. all of these things - weak, child poverty is stubbornly high. all of these things so i weak, child poverty is stubbornly high. all of these things so that l weak, child poverty is stubbornly i high. all of these things so that we are not progressing as a society, and that's a job for the labour party now, to fix that. there was a consolation prize for the snp, who unseated the scottish conservative leader, who had announced his resignation in the middle of the campaign. 0bviously deeply disappointed. what obviously deeply disappointed. what we knew— obviously deeply disappointed. what we knew would be a risk here was the reform _ we knew would be a risk here was the reform vote _ we knew would be a risk here was the reform vote allowing the snp in via the back— reform vote allowing the snp in via the back door, and so far, i think this is— the back door, and so far, i think this is the — the back door, and so far, i think this is the highest reform but we have seen— this is the highest reform but we have seen in scotland, almost 15%,

this is leanne's place. a baby bank, food bank, and subsidised bingo. she is seeing more and more in need. this country isn't the country that it used to be. she voted labour, but onlyjust. just how committed are you to labour? i voted for them. i'm not particularly committed to them. a tactical voting, to get the others out. simple as that? simple as that. labour's to—do list could be found here. the cost of living still hurts. one in four commercial premises are empty and grimsby. many feel let down. every time there is about. like elsewhere, more than one in two people here who could vote, didn't. did you vote? no. i have been a labour man all my life. trade unionist. working class. no point in me voting. this town has gone downhill. i don't vote because i'm really disillusioned. labour faces new pressures.

reform came second in grimsby. butchers gary and his son lee have found a new political home. i voted nigel farage, because i don't think the others have got the balls to do anything about what is happening in the country. your number one issue this election? i would say it is immigration. there will be more and more people voting for reform if nothing changes. that is what is going to happen, i think. but change has come. it has got to be better than it has been, for my whole family. we have to now be hopeful going forward, otherwise what is the point? stored tall, went in, voted what i thought— stored tall, went in, voted what i thought was right. it grace is 18. she voted labour in her very first election. i'm feeling very hopeful. i hope that it is a new path, new direction. hopefully it is going to be a bit better. that hope is that promises made are promises kept. ed thomas, bbc news, grimsby. the liberal democrat leader sir ed davey has been celebrating his party's best results for more than 100 years after a campaign of

eye—catching stunts. at the last election in 2019, they won only 11 seats. now they have 71. the pa rty�*s success followed a decision to focus resources on target seats, mostly held by the conservatives — many in the south west of england. our political correspondent hannah millar reports now from maidenhead, the seat of the former conservative prime minister theresa may, which is now in the hands of the liberal democrats. # sweet caroline. ..# a series of historic winds that felt... so so good, so good! as the liberal democrats won 71 seats, even more than they managed before going into coalition.

ed davey rebuilding the party to become the third biggest in parliament. trust is a very precious commodity. it's hard won. and sometimes, you lose it, and you will have to work very hard to win it back. the party took a swathe of seats across the south—west, including cheltenham, where they defeated justice secretary alex chalk, and tunbridge wells in kent, which has been conservative ever since its creation in 1974. there are two main factors in the lib dems' success — the crumbling of the conservative vote in heartlands like in maidenhead, but also the party's own laser—like focus on places where it had previously come second. their national vote share has barely changed since 2019, but the lib dems stacked up votes in key target areas. while people may have laughed at the stunts, behind the scenes, there

was a serious strategy. how long has this been in the making? we have been working in maidenhead for a long time now. we took control of the council last year. we have been working since 2019 to really cement ourselves in the community so that we are known as local champions. at the village hall, kate told us why she supported the lib dems. i used election. i think the lib dems one. do you feel like the conservatives lost here or did the lib dems win? i think the lib dems one. we are looking forward for the lib dems to do what they should do for the community. whilst there is much to celebrate for the lib dems, they now have plenty to prove if they want their gains to be a spectacle that lasts for more than a moment. hannah miller, bbc news, maidenhead. celebrations too for reform uk. they won five seats, one

going to party leader nigel farage, who finally enters the commons as an mp on his eighth attempt. he promised his party would "stun" everyone. during a speech this afternoon which was interrupted by several hecklers, mr farage said he was going to "professionalise" the party. our special correspondent lucy manning reports on the rise of reform. hello, how are you? nigel farage that himself off for a celebratory lunch in london, finally making it as an mp, and not his party's only one. do you feel a bit guilty that you have taken so many votes from the tory party, and let labour have this landslide? listen, they would have lost anyway. how should a bruised tory party deal with you now, that you are an mp? i don't really care. they can do what they like. they will fight amongst themselves like they have done for the last four years. i am not bothered about them at all. successfully squeezing

the conservative support. third in the share of votes in the number of votes but not matched by the number of seats, something that nigel farage has an issue with. reform uk's mps arrived today at westminster and at first had to deal with more than half a dozen hecklers. boring. this is good preparation for the house of commons, i suppose, isn't it? we may be too few in number to be necessarily be thought of as the opposition in the house of commons, but let me promise you, we are going to be the opposition around the country. i am now going to declare the result. the rise of nigel farage. nigel farage, reform uk, 21,000. the smile said it all.

he has helped wiped out the tories, but now he wants more. we will be targeting labour votes. we will be targeting labour votes. we are coming for labour, be no doubt about that. believe me, folks, this is just the first step of something that is going stun all of you. earlier, he had gathered with supporters at a restaurant by clacton pier and celebrated their first win. lee anderson, in ashford. cheering four mps have this evening just become five, with a late result in south basildon and east thurrock. now westminster must prepare for the arrival of nigel farage. one of his mps said there would be fireworks. lucy manning, bbc news. the numbers in this election are very interesting. labour managed to win a landslide without a significant increase in its vote share. the liberal democrats too clocked up seats with just a small rise in voter share.

but the opposite was the case for reform. their share of the vote was higher than the lib dems, but they haveonly five seats. but they have only five seats. my colleague reeta chakrabarti explains why. thank you. well let's take a look at turnout first, and despite some of the huge figures overnight, turnout was significantly down. overall across the uk, turnout amongst voters was just 60%, and as you can see, compared to five years ago that is down 7.6%, and if you look back historically, it's much lower than it used to be in the �*80s and �*90s. so, a landslide labour victory, but their vote share tells a more nuanced story. compared to 2019, it's up less than 2%, and the lib dems even less. but they've both achieved their huge successes because of the plummeting in the conservative vote, down just shy of 20%. and let's not forget reform,

who are the major beneficiaries of that fall in terms of vote share, but not seats due to the first—past—the—post system. let's break that down into the nations. this is how england looked. the labour barely up by one percentage point. the conservatives down 21%, doing desperately badly. a different story for reform and also the greens, who had a good night. in wales, the labour performance was notably down in terms of vote share, but that didn't stop them from gaining nine seats again because of the electoral system, mainly because the conservatives did so badly. and in scotland, well, it's a completely different picture. a major surge by labour at huge cost to the snp,

down 15%, and they appear to have been severely damaged by recent events. in northern ireland, the main political parties aren't in play, but overall, sinn fein have overtaken the dup in terms of vote share, becoming the largest party in terms of seats, but they won't take them up at westminster. reeta, thank you. sir keir starmer has become the uk's seventh labour prime minister. his rise to the top of british politics began in 2015 when he was first elected to parliament in his mid—50s, following a career in law. our deputy political editor, vicki young, looks at how the new prime minister has risen quickly through the political ranks to secure victory for labour. when you are named after the first leader of the labour party may be a political career is inevitable but keir starmer did not take a direct route to number ten. his story began in surrey where he lived with his parents, a nurse and a toolmaker and

has three siblings. he went to reigate grammar, and when it became a private school he became that stayed on a bursary. he was musical, playing the flute and piano. he later gained law degrees from leeds and oxford universities and became a human rights barrister. in the 80s, he spoke about the laws restricting acid house parties. the he spoke about the laws restricting acid house parties.— acid house parties. the party that mcaleese must _ acid house parties. the party that mcaleese must limit _ acid house parties. the party that mcaleese must limit themselves| acid house parties. the party that l mcaleese must limit themselves to those powers and not beyond it. rents in those days were among those in towns today. one recalled his immense capacity for work and study. what people do not see our those private moments in private when he is incredibly engaging, incredibly fun, but when it comes to work it is fair to say that he takes it very seriously. one way that he has always worked as an acrobat is football, his passion for the game as a player an arsenal fan continues today. as a player an arsenal fan continues toda . �* ., as a player an arsenal fan continues toda.�* ., as a player an arsenal fan continues toda.�* . ., today. i'm a massive football fan. remember— today. i'm a massive football fan. remember the _ today. i'm a massive football fan. remember the five _

her husband ed balls, of course, was a minister when labour was last in power. the new chancellor rachel reeves will be moving in next door, to number 11 downing street. our economics editor faisal islam is here. what are the main economic challenges for the new chancellor? you spoke to rachel reeves in the early hours of this morning. she said there was not a huge amount of money. she has a huge challenge ahead. you're the will settle into work at the treasury with a big economic injury, councilfinances, economic injury, council finances, bankrupt economic injury, councilfinances, bankrupt universities, worries about infrastructure investment, and you have this sort of low, anaemic sluggish growth rate, that this new government say is one of the omissions, notjust tojump—start omissions, not just to jump—start that omissions, notjust tojump—start that but you make it the highest growth of all the g7 advanced nations. ., , , ., growth of all the g7 advanced nations. ., , ., , nations. notjust because that is nations. not 'ust because that is what the nations. notjust because that is what they want _ nations. notjust because that is what they want but _ nations. notjust because that is what they want but because i nations. notjust because that is| what they want but because they need it to try and loosen some of the constraints on public spending,

constraints on public spending, constraints that, as you say, she was quite candid to me about it earlier this morning.— was quite candid to me about it earlier this morning. faisal islam, thank you- — well, the political landscape has changed across the uk. in northern ireland, sinn fein won the most seats for the first time ever in a general election. the nationalist party believes in a united ireland and doesn't take its seats at westminster. we'll hear what that might mean for the future of northern ireland from sarah girvin in a moment. but first, let's head to wales, where the conservatives suffered a total wipe—out. in 2019, they managed to win 12 seats, but last night, every inch of blue was erased from the map. labour won 27 of the 32 seats, with plaid cymru and the liberal democrats taking the rest. here's our wales correspondent hywel griffiths. a red letter day for monmouth. now back in labour's colours for the first time in almost 20 years, its people persuaded just

about by their message. well, i don't want to go with the political thing of "we needed a change," but we needed a change. met up with family yesterday and they all had the same opinion. they may have voted conservative in the past, but yesterday the three of us as groups voted labour. no wonder the party wanted to come here to celebrate. even if success depends on how you frame things. its share of the vote in wales was actually down the number of labour voters, the lowest since 1935. there are lots of lessons for us in the result, and the scale of the victory does give us a special responsibility. but i found on the doorstep that as well as a real thirst for change, there's an honesty about the length of time it will take to put right the last 14 years. it is the end of an era for the conservatives here. former welsh secretaries all lost their seats in what was a total tory wipe—out. people were telling us what they felt about some

of the antics and shenanigans that had gone on over the last five years in westminster, and that turned people off from voting conservative. so the tide has turned in wales, and notjust for the bigger parties. look beneath the surface and you'll also see a swell of support for reform in wales. not enough to claim any mps this time, but they will have an eye on the senedd elections just around the corner. plaid too says it's heading in the right direction after claiming four mps. we're looking forward already to the 2026 senedd election, when we are now clearly the strongest challengers to labour. plenty of work ahead, but for now the welsh map is mostly painted red. hywel griffith, bbc news. with just 18 seats up for grabs in northern ireland — every win and every loss matters. by holding its seven seats, nationalist sinn fein has become northern ireland's biggest party at westminster for the first time. it doesn't take its seats in the house of commons because it

doesn't think westminster should make decisions for northern ireland. it wants a united ireland. i think the fact that we are now the largest party of local government, the largest party of the assembly and the largest party of westminster, speaks to the fact that i think that it's time for change. it's time for us to be able to take control of our own fortunes here at home. so i look forward to the journey that we have ahead in terms of having a constitutional change conversation. it was a bad night for the democratic unionist party, which suffered significant losses — none bigger than in north antrim, where ian paisley lost a constituency his family has held for more than 50 years. a political earthquake. dup leader gavin robinson held his seat but warned about votes being split between different unionist parties. i think in constituencies right across northern ireland you can see the consequences of divided unionism. i think you can see that there are constituencies within northern ireland for which there isn't the luxury in a first past the post

election, to shop around. the alliance party, which doesn't identify as unionist or nationalist, took the seat held by the dup's former leader sirjeffrey donaldson since 1997. as the shock waves of this election settle, there is much to consider. but with sinn fein in the top spot and the dup bruised, calls for a conversation about an irish unity referendum are likely to grow louder. sarah girvin, bbc news. one feature of this election has been a rise in support for independent candidates, not aligned to any political party. jeremy corbyn, the former labour leader, stood as an independent and won in islington north. elsewhere, labour lost several former strongholds to independent candidates who campaigned on pro—gaza platforms. jonathan ashworth was the most senior labour mp to lose his seat, in leicester south. from there, anna foster reports.

sole traders rarely win elections. in 2019, not a single independent candidate was voted into parliament. now there are six of them. and here in leicester south, one shakat adam, even unseated a labour big name. shadow paymaster general jonathan ashworth should have been cushioned by a 22,000 majority. this is for the people of gaza. around 30% of the electorate here are muslim, and most of them were staunch labour supporters. but what they saw as the party's weak position on gaza meant that they withdrew that support in their thousands. how much change do you think he can manage on his own? well, we believe in him, which is why we voted for him. and we do believe that shakat adam is going to carry forward our message. and he's the people's person. pro—palestinian candidates toppled labour in dewsbury and batley, birmingham

perry barr and blackburn. and the man who led labour into its last two general election campaigns... jeremy corbyn. ..won islington north as an independent. he was barred from standing for the party this time in a row over anti—semitism. they're looking for a government that, on the world stage will search for peace, not war, and not allow the terrible conditions to go on that are happening in gaza at the present time. even as labour celebrates victory, there are still those it needs to win over. anna foster, bbc news, leicester. the green party had its most successful election night ever, increasing its number of seats from one to four. the party had run a targeted campaign, expanding their representation to both urban and rural seats. the party's co—leader carla denyer beat the former shadow culture secretary in bristol central by more than 10,000 votes, with a 28%

swing from labour to green. our correspondent danjohnson reports from bristol. this wasn't a setup, but a group of drama students, who spotted the greens' co—leader and greeted her, well, like a film star. i’m greens' co-leader and greeted her, well, like a film star.— well, like a film star. i'm really ho reful well, like a film star. i'm really hopeful that — well, like a film star. i'm really hopeful that my _ well, like a film star. i'm really hopeful that my generation i well, like a film star. i'm really| hopeful that my generation are, consider potential in her and of the greens. it consider potential in her and of the areens. , , ~' , greens. it seems like it is getting aroular greens. it seems like it is getting popular now _ greens. it seems like it is getting popular now and _ greens. it seems like it is getting popular now and the _ greens. it seems like it is getting popular now and the next - greens. it seems like it is getting popular now and the next time i i popular now and the next time i think— popular now and the next time i think she — popular now and the next time i think she has a high chance of winning — think she has a high chance of winning |_ think she has a high chance of winninr. ,, . ., ., think she has a high chance of winninr. ,, . . ., ., ., winning. i hereby declare that carla den er is winning. i hereby declare that carla denyer is duly _ winning. i hereby declare that carla denyer is duly elected. _ winning. i hereby declare that carla denyer is duly elected. victory i winning. i hereby declare that carla l denyer is duly elected. victory came from promising _ denyer is duly elected. victory came from promising to _ denyer is duly elected. victory came from promising to fund _ denyer is duly elected. victory came from promising to fund public - from promising to fund public services by raising taxes, and it was a tough urban campaign that unseated the shadow culture secretary. you've got to be a green voter with accurate like that. yes. voter with accurate like that. yes, s-ot it. voter with accurate like that. yes, spot it- jenny _ voter with accurate like that. yes, spot it. jenny used _ voter with accurate like that. yes, spot it. jenny used to _ voter with accurate like that. yes, spot it. jenny used to vote - voter with accurate like that. yes, | spot it. jenny used to vote labour. i found it extraordinarily _ spot it. jenny used to vote labour. i found it extraordinarily difficult i i found it extraordinarily difficult to make that choice, but nationally,

new prime minister, straight in there, straight down to business. what about the conservative schema, brutal night for them. we saw liz truss lose her seat, rishi sunak leaving downing street a short time ago. what now for them?— ago. what now for them? utterly brutal, devastating _ ago. what now for them? utterly brutal, devastating night - ago. what now for them? utterly brutal, devastating night for i ago. what now for them? utterly i brutal, devastating night for them. the conservatives are like the formula 1 car of british politics. they are so often the fastest, the best, the quickest, and now, to extend that kind of motoring metaphor, the wheels are off and they are up on bricks. they are crushed, humiliated by what happened last night, and they collectively have to work out what to do amongst those of them who have been returned to parliament. what we don't yet no is the timescale of rishi sunak�*s departure. does he hang around to give the party time to think, or is he tempted to run for the hills? he has insisted that he will do what is in the best interest of the party. the party needs to work out, though, firstly, what is in its best interest. chris mason, thank you. i hope you get some sleep sometime

soon! it is now raining yet again! can you sort the weather out, please, chris? it isjuly! sadly, i can't! it isjuly! sadly, ican't! it looks it isjuly! sadly, i can't! it looks like the rain will be with us for some time yet. mind you, it has been a slightly better day across northern portions of the uk. a bit of sunshine here in flamborough, and relatively calm seas. it will not look like this tomorrow. look at the radar picture, where we can see showers for scotland and northern ireland, but this band of rain across southern regions is more significant, because it will develop into a whole new area of low pressure, bringing us rain overnight and into tomorrow, along with strengthening winds. rain is here to stay for a while in london, but it becomes more extensive across england and wales. heavy downpours also for northern ireland and scotland through the night. rain at times probably best sums up the weather. temperatures of 6—13, and it feels quite humid across east anglia and southern counties of england overnight. you might notice

that. tomorrow, low pressure still with us, bringing outbreaks of rain, which could be quite heavy across scotland, and winds quite gusty for england and wales, up to 30 mph, gradually turning a bit less bad for wales and south—west england. at least you should see some sunshine here. but those temperatures still disappointing, 15—18 for most, just 13 in aberdeen, with a cool wind as well. sunday looks like being the better of the two days of the weekend, but i suppose these things are all relative. after a dry start, we see showers develop quite widely, some becoming heavy, even if you rumbles of thunder, and temperatures are still disappointing forjuly. 18 in london, average for this time of year is 24. we will report on the changes in the political landscape. sadly, no such changes in the weather landscape. into next week, further areas of low pressure, meaning rain and showers come our way for next week, with those temperatures continuing, i'm afraid, to be below average. sophie.

sir keir starmer met with king charles earlier today as the uk's new prime minister, after a landslide victory for labour in the general election. changing a country is not like flipping a switch, but have no doubt, the work of change begins immediately. the prime minister's begun appointing his cabinet rachel reeves is named as the first female chancellor. angela rayner is named deputy prime minister, david lammy, foreign secretary and yvette cooper is appointed home secretary. as he left downing street for the final time as prime minister, rishi sunak said he'd heard the anger of voters. lam i am sorry. i have given this job i am sorry. i have given thisjob my all. but you have sent a clear signal that the government of the united kingdom must change and yours is the onlyjudgment that matters.
