Labour tipped for historic win as UK voters go to the polls   

Voters arrive to a polling station at the Scout & Guide headquarters in Sowerby, north of England, July 4, 2024 as Britain holds a general election. Polls are predicting that Labour will win its first general election since 2005.

Britain voted Thursday in a general election widely expected to hand the opposition Labour party a landslide win and end nearly a decade-and-a-half of Conservative rule.
