The results of Britain's general election were a hot talking point among morning commuters, shoppers and traders at London's Southall Market on Friday, with Brits reacting to Keir Starmer's electoral victory.

Starmer's Labour Party won a huge majority in Thursday's parliamentary election, defeating Rishi Sunak's Conservatives and ending their 14 years of rule.

"I’m not really a fan of Labour. I think, their policies are sort of backwards. I voted Reform," an 18-year-old first-time voter said. Meanwhile, another voter who was happy about the election result said, " I just think it's what the country needs."

Plus, people in the constituency won by populist Reform U.K. leader Nigel Farage on Friday welcomed his election win and said they hoped he would live up to his promises.

Starmer, a 61-year-old former human rights lawyer, took over as prime minister around midday on Friday. Sunak, the youngest leader in modern British history, stepped into the role of prime minister in the autumn of 2022.

    Dude got 20% of the vote. UK is so screwed. You get what you voted for, you get it good and hard.

    "Nigel Farage is more for the younger generation" has got to be the most ridiculous quote ever.

    Congrats Uk 💐🇬🇧 ❤ hope the snow back again instead of the flooding 😉!!!!!!!!
  • I see despite only winning 4 seats (Labour one 400+) this focuses on Reform and Farage. Says a lot about your news channel.

    If with the Conservative Party in charge Britain is doomed, imagine the country under the labor party government.

    If they want competent people why labour? It will get much worse...they will only magnify the direction they are already going. Wow
