Labour get the keys for No.10 after a landslide victory.The Labour Party will be handed the keys to No.10 Downing Street later this morning after winning the UK general election by a record margin. With only a handful of seats still to be declared, Labour has already won 410 of the 650 seats available, over 200 more than at the last election in 2019. The incumbent Conservative party are currently polling just 119 seats, down 248 seats from the previous election.
UK asset markets have been pricing in a large Labour majority ever since the general election was called and today’s lacklustre opening moves reflect this. Theis barely changed against a range of other currencies, while the FTSE 100 is currently around 0.2% stronger. Financial markets like political certainty and this will likely shore up markets ahead of any major policy announcements.
