Sir Edward Leigh, the Father of the House (the member with the longest continuous service who is not a minister), presides over the election of a UK Parliament Speaker. It comes after Britain's general election on July 4.
The speaker of the House of Commons and new MPs are sworn into parliament after UK election.
LONDON -- Hundreds of newly elected lawmakers trooped excitedly into Parliament on Tuesday after the U.K.’s transformative election brought a Labour government to power.
The longest-serving lawmaker, known as the father or mother of the House, is sworn in first, followed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Cabinet, senior members of the official opposition and then remaining lawmakers in order of their length of service.
The halls of the labyrinthine building echoed with excited chatter as the 650 members of the House of Commons gathered - 335 of them arriving for the first time. That compares to 140 new lawmakers after the last election in 2019.
The seat of British democracy took on a back-to-school feel, from the rows of lockers temporarily installed in wood-paneled corridors to the staff holding “Ask Me” signs ready to help bewildered newcomers.
The new House of Commons includes the largest number of women ever elected - 263, some 40% of the total - and the most lawmakers of color, at 90.

How is it an election of a new speaker it's the same labour speaker of the house of commons.

[@oisinmtom]

Cause it was a completely new election al thats happend is he was the only 1 who was nominated for it and was voted in by the house.

[@snowyowel7961]

@@oisinmtom Maybe the system needs changing can't understand why no one else nominated I bet it's a well paid job.

If a MP who is also a Speaker decides to continue as such s/he is deemed to be reelected unopposed in the constituency that s/he represents. No party or independent candidate runs in that particular constituency. The premise is to uphold the office as independent, neutral and apolitical. Thus preserving Parliament as a democratic institution and it's members to go about the business of Parliament.
This is the system and position that Speakers and presiding officers of other legislative bodies must be. Independent, neutral and apolitical.

He's the one that got Starmer out of a tight corner.
