Britains political leaders made a final frantic push for votes Wednesday on the last day of an election campaign expected to return a Labour government after 14 years of Conservative rule.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak insisted he was still fighting hard despite one of his closest allies conceding that the Tories were heading for an extraordinary landslide defeat on Thursday.
The Conservatives suffered a further blow at the 11th hour when The Sun tabloid, famous for backing election winners, endorsed Keir Starmers Labour.
Polls overwhelmingly predict that Labour will win its first general election since 2005 making Starmer the partys first prime minister since Gordon Brown left office in 2010.
That outcome would see Britain swing leftwards back to the centre ground after almost a decade and a half of right-wing Conservative governments, dominated first by austerity, then Brexit and a cost-of-living crisis.
