Thursday’s election results have transformed Parliament. Not only do Labour have a huge majority but also the smaller parties, the Liberal Democrats, Reform and the Greens made big gains.
There is also now a record number of women MPs, and first time MPs, many of them much younger than the MPs they are replacing.
Niall Paterson talks to Sky’s political commentator Adam Boulton about the new-look parliament and what it means for UK politics in the coming months.
Plus, our correspondents Greg Milam and Tom Cheshire join from Leicester South and Clacton respectively, on the part Gaza played in the election and the case for reforming the electoral system.
