'Britain's future is on the ballot': Labour tipped for historic win as UK voters go to the pollsLabour leader Sir Keir Starmer delivers a speech to supporters during a visit to a community centre on 3 July 2024 in Redditch, United Kingdom. Keir Starmer visited three countries of the UK on the final day of election campaigning.
Britons head to the polls Thursday in a general election widely expected to emphatically return the opposition Labour party to power and end nearly a decade-and-a-half of Conservative rule. Centre-left Labour is projected to win its first general election since 2005 by historic proportions, with a flurry of election-eve polls all forecasting its biggest-ever victory.But Starmer was taking nothing for granted as he urged voters not to stay at home. "Britain's future is on the ballot," he said."But change will only happen if you vote for it.
Britain's Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader Rishi Sunak delivers a speech at the National Army Museum in London on 2 July 2024 as part of a campaign event in the build-up to the UK general election on 4 July. That would make him the first sitting prime minister not to retain his seat in a general election.
Meanwhile, three large-scale surveys indicated Labour was on the brink of a record victory, with the Tories set for their worst-ever result and the centrist Liberal Democrats resurgent in third.
