At the 2024 general election, Labour won 411 seats, giving the government a simple majority of 172 votes and a working majority of 181 votes — described by multiple sources as a "landslide" comparable to Tony Blair's 1997 victory. Even as of April 2, 2026 (the most recent data point available), after various resignations and suspensions reduced Labour's seat count to 403, the government still held a simple majority of 156 and an effective working majority of 165 votes. By comparison, the previous Conservative government's working majority had dwindled to just 46 votes by dissolution. A working majority of 165 is exceptionally large by historical UK standards. It would require 82 Labour MPs to rebel (with all opposition voting against) to defeat the government. This is properly described as a "huge majority." One search result indicates that Keir Starmer resigned and Andy Burnham became PM sometime around June 2026, but regardless of who holds the office, the Labour government's parliamentary majority at the time of the speech (June 3, 2026) remained very large.
