Starmer's party won 412 seats, with a majority of 176. There is one result still to come today.
The Tories have been reduced to just 121 seats so far.
Speaking yesterday, he said his new Government has been given a “clear mandate” by voters.
He said: “And we will use it to deliver change, to restore service and respect for politics, end the era of noisy performance, tread more lightly on your lives and unite our country.
“Four nations standing together again facing down, as we have so often in our past, the challenges of an insecure world, committed to a calm and patient rebuilding.
“So, with respect and humility, I invite you all to join this Government of service in the mission of national renewal.
“Our work is urgent and we begin it today.”
Starmer promised a government “unburdened by doctrine” and to fight for people’s belief in a brighter future.

In his first speech as Prime Minister, he said: “If I asked you now whether you believe that Britain will be better for your children, I know too many of you would say no.
“So, my Government will fight every day until you believe again.
“From now on, you have a Government unburdened by doctrine, guided only by the determination to serve your interest, to defy quietly those who have written our country off.
“You have given us a clear mandate and we will use it to deliver change, to restore service and respect to politics.”
