Sir Keir Starmer will be the UK’s new Labour prime minister after his party won a landslide victory - including a near Lancashire-wide rout of the Tories.
Labour made huge gains across Lancashyire, taking several key seats from the Conservatives - including Burnley, Ribble Valley, Pendle and Clitheroe, Hyndburn, Rossendale and Darwen. But in one shock, Labour's Kate Hollern lost her Blackburn seat to independent Adnan Hussain, who won by just 132 votes. Labour MP Sir Mark Hendrick retains Preston Sir Mark Hendrick retained his Preston seat with a comprehensive victory, taking a total of 14,006 votes - a winning margin of 5,291 votes.
The leader of South Ribble Borough Council said he never aspired to end up in Parliament when he first entered the political fray as a borough councillor 17 years ago. However, Reform UK put in a strong showing in the seat, scooping almost 9,000 votes - almost one of five of all those cast - to finish third from what candidate Andy Hunter said was practically a standing start.
