00:00Rishi Sunak, Conservative Party, 23,059 I hereby declare that Rishi Sunak is duly
00:10elected. Congratulations and he may address the stand. The Labour Party has
00:14won this general election and I have called Zakir Starmer to congratulate him
00:18on his victory. Today power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner
00:24with goodwill on all sides. That is something that should give us all
00:28confidence in our country's stability and future. The British people have
00:34delivered a sobering verdict tonight. There is much to learn and reflect on
00:39and I take responsibility for the loss. To the many good, hard-working
00:44Conservative candidates who lost tonight despite their tireless efforts, their
00:49local records of delivery and their dedication to their communities, I am
00:54sorry.
