That’s a wrap – thank you for reading The Australian Financial Review blog today. Some of our top UK election stories included:

• ‘Change begins now’: UK Labour’s Starmer wins landslide election: Keir Starmer says Britons voted for change, and “it is time for us to deliver”. The Tories reeled as Nigel Farage’s populist party ate into their support.
• Britain’s ‘tragic’ decline and the anti-incumbent message for our PM: Anthony Albanese said Australia and the UK would maintain strong ties, as business leaders here warned the new prime minister faced difficult economic challenges.
• Knives out: Tory collapse sparks bitter blame game: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is under fire after an exit poll shows the Conservative Party is set for the worst result in its history.
• The Conservatives imploded. Labour simply filled the vacuum: Labour’s landslide shares some parallels with Tony Blair’s 1997 win but ends with Keir Starmer’s small target strategy and threadbare policy.
