Millions of people are flocking to polling stations to vote in a highly anticipated general election that may significantly reshape British politics. According to opinion polls, the Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer, is poised for a resounding victory, potentially ending 14 years of Conservative rule.

The polls predict a historic defeat for the Conservatives, led by Rishi Sunak, with a projected 82 seats. Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn, running as an independent in Islington North may secure a surprise win despite losing the Labour whip in 2020, according to a survey conducted by a media outlet in the UK.

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who is running for reelection as an independent, posted a photo of himself voting Thursday in his North London district.

Corbyn, a socialist who has won his seat for Labour at every general election since 1983, was suspended from the party and barred from running by Labour after his leadership faced antisemitism allegations.

He became deeply unpopular after Labour in 2019 suffered its worst defeat since 1935.

Keir Starmer was chosen as leader to replace Corbyn and he has rebuilt it and moved it closer to the center. Pollsters and politicians expect Labour to win the largest number of seats.

Corbyn posted a photo of himself on the social media platform X with his right thumb up, saying: “Just voted for the independent candidate in Islington North. I heard he’s alright.”

The election sees various parties vying for power, including the Liberal Democrats, Reform UK, the Scottish National Party, and the Green Party, each with their leaders at the helm.
