The Labour Party is on course to win a landslide majority with more than 600 of 650 results declared in the 2024 general election.

According to an updated BBC forecast, the party is set to take 410 seats with an expected majority of 170.

This is likely to be the worst Conservative result in terms of seats in history, with the party winning as few as 129 seats. It is also likely to be the highest Lib Dem tally since 1923 with the party winning 69 seats

Reform UK and Plaid Cymru are set to take four each and the Green Party three with seven per cent of the vote.

Other parties, including those in Northern Ireland, are forecast to get 22 seats.

Labour's vote share is up by less than 2% but the Conservatives have seen their vote share fall by almost 20%.

BBC is predicting that turnout will be 60% across the UK a as whole. This will be the second lowest turnout ever in a UK election since 1885, with only 2001 being lower at 59%

Vote share

Labour has around 35% share of the vote across the UK and the Conservatives 23%.

While the Liberal Democrats are expected to have the third highest number of seats, it is Reform who are currently in third place by share of the vote.

However, Reform have found it difficult to convert votes into seats, and the party has only four MPs returned so far, including party leader Nigel Farage in Clacton.

The Greens have recorded their best general election performance yet, according to polling expert Sir John Curtice, and will likely win 7% of the vote.

The party has taken Bristol Central, Waveney Valley are forecast to hold Brighton Pavilion.
