Hour-by-Hour Breakdown of the UK General Election Results

After a long six-week general election campaign in the UK, the day has finally arrived for polling and selecting the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

In the lead-up to today, the Tories and Labour have scoured the country to secure votes as party leaders Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer battled it out in fierce head-to-head debates. The campaign trail was shaken by the last-minute addition of Nigel Farage as the new leader of Reform UK, chasing the PM’s tail in shock polls which saw the party only marginally behind the Conservatives in the vote share.

But the leaders’ hands are now tied as the government’s fate lies with the electorate. This morning, polling stations opened at 7 am in 650 constituencies across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
