Sir Keir Starmer has officially become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom following a historic landslide victory for the Labour Party in the general election. Exit polls projected a significant majority of 170 seats for Labour. On July 5, Starmer met with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace, where he was formally appointed Prime Minister after a ceremonial 'kissing of hands' during an audience. This marks the first time in over a decade that Labour has been in power. Starmer is the third Prime Minister during King Charles III's reign. He is set to give his first speech as Prime Minister at Downing Street.
