UK General Election live: Liz Truss off to the compost heap after being dumped like a wet lettuce by voters

Liz Truss stormed off stage after coming second to Labour by 630 votes in the seat she’s held since 2010.

The former PM’s loss brought election night to a dramatic end, after she turned up late to the stage and received a slow hand clap as she took her place beside the other candidates.

Keir Starmer will be the next Prime Minister after Rishi Sunak conceded defeat in a night of crushing defeat in the General Election results.

The Labour leader is now set to enter Downing Street with one of the biggest Commons majorities in history.

The Tories have lost a record 11 Cabinet ministers, beating the previous record of seven Cabinet ministerial defeats in 1997 in what is being described as a bloodbath.
