- Watch live as new MPs are sworn into the House of Commons on Tuesday 9 July, following the general election.
There will be 411 MPs representing Labour thanks to their landslide win, while the Conservatives form the opposition with 121 seats.
The Liberal Democrats take 72 seats in the Commons, with the SNP on nine, Reform UK on five and the Green Party on four.
Once sworn in, Labour’s Diane Abbott will earn the symbolic title Mother of the House.
The moniker is given to the female MP with the longest continuous service.
Ms Abbott, 70, was first elected in June 1987 - becoming the first black woman elected to the House of Commons.
Some believed that her ally, Jeremy Corbyn, would become Father of the House.
But Sir Edward Leigh, 73, Conservative MP for Gainsborough, pipped him to the title, as he was sworn in moments before Mr Corbyn after the June 1983 election.
Elsewhere, the youngest MP is believed to be Sam Carling, 22, the new Labour MP for North West Cambridgeshire.
He narrowly won the seat, with Conservative candidate Shailesh Vara just 39 votes behind.

They need to build a bigger house
they really should've years ago, like after the Commons was destroyed in ww2, Churchill had the choice to make the commons larger...
Or pay less useless MPs to do not very much.
They should watch india parliament far better than this
They tend to admire the older things
Has anyone got a timestamp for Nigel Farage being sworn in?
Didnt see it happen myself. Will probably be today
Go to parliament TV
I think he was late cus a recount.
Instead of swearing allegiance to king charles. Why not swear to uphold their manifestos ?
Where was Corbyn and the Independents?
corbyn at 2:39:27
@@xanderlithgo2604 Thank you :0)
Like a rowdy school assembly ....
Nigel farage brought me here after years of listening to someone political but who also spoke love how people call it “common sense” it’s not it’s choosing words wisely funny though I wouldn’t of been here if he didn’t lead me to be here
2:39:32 Jeremy Corbyn Affirmation
Have to ask whether it is really necessary, efficient and value-for-money to have three days of swearing in when it could all be over in 5 minutes. And before you yell 'tradition', that's a £million pounds of your and my taxes which could be used for (say) papering Bunter's walls in No. 10.
2:56:07 This shouldn't be allowed.
bigot
Well it is so cry a river
I liked it. She has her priorities straight.
Anyone know when nigel swore
I was looking for that too. I must have watched dozens of nobodies get sworn in, but no Nigel.
@@anicetuneDid you not listen while watching? Members are sworn in order:
Speaker, Father and Mother, Cabinet, Shadow Cabinet, Ministers, Shadow Ministers, 2010 electees, 2015, 2017, 2019, then 2024. It will likely be late tomorrow or Thursday.
He was at the end I think
Where was Herr Farage?👍
Will they all catch covid😊
Selling England by the pound
2:38:40 did they just give her the King James Bible instead?
@jefkwo Perhaps she must have forgotten to give her the "Jerusalem Bible" (blue book the MPs sworn in) which is a text that is of the Catholic Faith
@@maalogaoteote157 the literacy of the staff is sorely lacking
Any Sinn Féin member time stamps?
Sinn Féin don't participate, so they won't appear in this video. I don't have a timestamp but when the SDLP leader came up he made a comment about doing it under protest.
@@BobSmith-s7j hmm I thought they might still have to swear in, but I guess not, interesting, thanks
@@glowstoneunknown They would have to swear in (or affirm) if they wanted to take their seats, but they boycott the whole thing. So you'll never see a Sinn Féin MP in the Commons or on a committee, and they don't get paid.
Based Nigel
I agree, dint see him swear in though, is there a time stamp?
Probably wont be till tomorrow since hes a new MP.
@@user-nm6vl1nw2s oh ok thanks
The stench in that room lol…
So sad that many of Sunak's old rat pack won't be swearing in - boohoo boohoo.
40 percent took the affirmation over swearing to God. Worrying.

INDIA NUMBER 1!!
Why do they do it one at a time. They could what we do in the US swear everybody all at once
We have a Godly government may Christ give you wisdom to lead.
My God! Just think what all those goons cost the UK taxpayer!... 6 million a year in salaries alone! and that doesn't include the employer's national insurance, free pensions, free food and booze and the cost of running the building (utility bills and policing). And what do the UK public get for all that? Sod all... apart from, maybe, a good laugh... certainly, from here in Asia, where I retired in 2013 after working for 33 years in bankrupt, shithole Britain, the news from the UK is far more comical than any of my favourite, old British comedies from the 60s and 70s...
Parliament costs less than 0.1% of the total budget for government.
That includes the whole estate. Which is several buildings. The bills, the food. The staffing of the parliament.
Be nice to see the islamic members settling in and getting along with everyone for the cameras
And what do you achieve making such a bigoted dumb statement?
Can you explain your problem with Islam?
@@NayimKayIncompatible in Deutschland.
@@LinusWelt Incompatible outside of Islamic countries.
@@davetigheincompatible how
Should not be allowed to swear on the quran- we are a Christian country not a Muslim country
a christian country that allows gay marriage and teaches kids they can identify as anything and where barely anyone goes to church anymore yeah very christian
Well I mean what about Hindu scripture Hindus don't even say it in English
So you’re ok with discrimination
Tolerance... none of us our clones. Indeed, there are British people who are muslims and muslims who converted to christianity. In this respect the UK has been tolerant for centuries, they respect cultural differences as long as its laws are respected.
r.i.p england..Thug Britannia has begun
Diana abbot fook she can count lol😂😂😂😂😂 come in nigle REFOME all the way 2029 here we come
I think you might need English lessons
She can count better than you can spell
I hear that Labour are offering free remedial English lessons-take the offer up, you need them.
You write like the average reform voter.
