The Labour party has won over 400 seats (out of 650) in the 2024 UK General Elections, and Keir Starmer is expected to replace Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister. The Conservatives, in power for the last fourteen years, have suffered a rout, losing over two-thirds of their seats. The SNP has collapsed in Scotland, mostly to Labour, and the Liberal Democrats have gained over sixty seats.

All those people have probably been branded as anti-Semites now, too. Love and learn though.

Iirc there were some purge in Labour, but nothing major since succdems are by nature opportunist bags and most quickly fell in line.
