One option would be the SNP, which currently holds 45 seats in the Commons.

The obvious solution to getting over the magic number of 326 seats would be to form a coalition with another party. So if that scenario were to materialise, what would be Sir Keir's options to get his hands on the keys to Number 10? However, Sky News' national estimated vote share shows that, should there be a uniform swing, Labour would be the largest party, but fall 28 seats short of a majority. Sir Keir Starmer has seized on the moment to claim the country is "on course for a Labour majority" government after the next general election. Labour did very well at the local elections in England last week, gaining 536 seats and control of 22 councils, making it the largest party in local government for the first time since 2002.
