As the UK election draws near, the Conservative Party has all-but conceded defeat to Labour, led by Keir Starmer. Opinion polls indicate a strong lead for Labour, potentially ending 14 years of Conservative rule and propelling Starmer into the Prime Minister’s office at Number 10 Downing Street.
According to You Gov’s projections, Labour is on track to secure a majority of 212 seats, a historic feat for the party. Both Starmer and Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak have warned voters of significant economic repercussions depending on the election outcome.
