London CNN —The British public has elected a new government, and with that a new family will be moving into 10 Downing Street. So, who is Victoria Starmer, and what do we know about the new occupants of 10 Downing Street? Starmer’s wife, whom he usually refers to as Vic, kept a relatively low profile during the election campaign. Ian Forsyth/Getty ImagesBoth lawyers by training, they married in 2007 – the year before Starmer became Director of Public Prosecutions. Their relationship grew out of an unlikely first meeting at work, as the Labour leader told Piers Morgan in 2021.

☆ Britain's Labour pulled off a thumping election victory with just 34% of the national vote

Toby Melville | ReutersLONDON — The U.K.'s Labour Party won a huge parliamentary majority in the country's general election, but a quirk of the British electoral system means it did so with just 34% of the total votes cast. Results show that the opposition Labour Party has won 412 parliamentary seats of the total 650, with just two seats yet to be declared. This translates as roughly 63% of the total seats, but Labour has won just 34% of the total "popular" vote, while the Conservative Party has secured nearly 24% of that number. Meanwhile, smaller parties including the centrist Liberal Democrats, right-wing Reform U.K. and the Greens took nearly 43% of the popular vote but gained just less than 18% of the seats available. Unlike in other voting systems, there are no second rounds or ranking of first- and second-choice candidates, meaning it can be difficult for smaller parties to translate an increased share of the popular vote into parliamentary seats.
