Polling stations in the United Kingdom officially opened on Thursday, with millions of voters across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland heading to the polls to cast ballots.
According to the latest numbers by The Telegraph, Keir Starmer is expected to secure a nearly 20-point lead over the ruling Conservative Party, which would give keys to Downing Street to the Labour Party for the first time in fourteen years. The party is projected to win 431 seats in the House of Commons, while Tories are anticipated to gain only 102 seats.
During the 2019 general elections, then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson secured 365 seats in the lower house of the parliament, while Labour won 202 seats, and Scottish National Party (SNP) earned 48 seats.
