Given there's a huge divide within the party and that Beer Korma will be lucky to last 18 months. I suspect that given a majority beyond their wildest dreams the far left will be unable to resist going full retard. And without Beer Korma calling in the favours, I predict they'll become mired in corruption in short order and end their term as the most unpopular UK government of all time.
Indeed, I suspect that many of them will be lucky to avoid prison. Interesting times.

I think 2 terms - Labour will have such a big majority now that the (inevitable) reduction in 5 years time will still give them a small majority.

I think it’s a two term Labour government. Unless Labour is so spectacularly poor that they are unsustainable.

Based on what we know today, and the direction of play, IF the polls are somewhere near correct, it would be difficult for Labour to be dislodged after one term, and so we should look at probably two terms.
HOWEVER, the Tory Party after defeat, will descend into a civil war with Right versus Moderate, or should that be traditional Conservatives versus Populism.
So here's the big problem the Tories now face
If the Tories choose a leader from the populist Right, they may very well pick up support from working class areas ( The Red Wall ), but they will lose many traditional Tory votes from Conservative heartlands such as the Midlands, the Home Counties and the South.
I suppose anything could happen, but one very real scenario could be that the Conservative Party could become the third party, and the Lib Dems could take their place.

You are aware of what has just happened in europe? Good point , my best guess Labour may get one term in office especially if Reform get some seats it could be a bumpy ride for them , but who knows at this stage one thing for certain money will be flowing out of the UK very quickly before the Polls open

You are aware of what has just happened in europe? There's a quite significant move to the right, but it happened with a Proportional Representation system. This may empower people's minds to believe they can win in this country and vote with their true feelings instead of their tactics. Let's hope so, and that the LabCon uniparty get a kicking. Labour are not even in yet, so discussing the number of terms is moot.

Boris was not in charge for long, if Labour win and Starmer is PM if the Unions don't oust him if he does not follow their orders they will have a long time to screw the country big time as they did when last in office

Remember Liz Truss only lasted 49 days.
