Celebrities go to the polls! Who will they vote for?
In today’s general election, polls have opened across the United Kingdom, and celebrities have been flocking to cast their ballots.
Millions of Britons will go to polling places between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. to vote in the first Westminster election since 2019.
Stars like Lizzie Cundy, Myleene Klass, Ashley James, Piers Morgan, and Charles Dance are among them; they participated in the voting process.
Socialite Lizzie, 56, photographed next to her neighborhood voting place while sporting shades and a form-fitting blue outfit.
First at the polls, she said in the caption. I entered my village hall with the force of a thunderstorm, cast my ballot, and then bought tea and custard cream for everyone.
«A constant vote-winner!» It’s the big day, let’s go! #politics #elections #electionfever #bigday
Presenter and singer Myleene, 49, encouraged her followers to «make change for you and for your children» by sharing a photo of herself heading to the polls with her passport.
Posing outside the polling place in a T-shirt and shorts, journalist Piers,59, was also on his way to cast his ballot.
In his caption, he wrote: «Cast your vote! You have no right to complain about how this country is managed if you don’t cast a ballot.
«So, go to your neighborhood polling place and cast your ballot.»
In the meantime, 77-year-old star Charles Dance was spotted leaving early this morning to cast his ballot.
In an emotional tweet, former Made in Chelsea star Ashley James encouraged her fans to vote out the Conservatives. Ashley James even brought her daughter to the polls.
«SUN’s OUT, TORIES OUT. ☀️It’s a beautiful day to get out and vote,» the writer wrote.
With her mother accompanying her, the Traitors actress Charlotte Chilton went to the polls and declared that each vote «counts towards positive change.»
Prior to today, a number of opinion surveys indicated that Labour was expected to win by a massive margin.
However, the Prime Minister has cautioned voters against giving Sir Keir Starmer unbridled authority since he called for the general election six weeks ago.
With a series of late-night social media tweets, the leader of the Conservative Party persisted in his campaign against a Labour «socialist supermajority» until the polls opened.
He has frequently threatened to raise taxes if Sir Keir were to take office and asserted that Labour would pillage drivers, homeowners, workers, savers, and retirees.
The prime minister acknowledged that he was the «underdog» during his penultimate campaign event last night, but he promised that «this underdog will fight to the final whistle.»
Mr. Sunak and his spouse Akshata Murty were observed casting ballots in Kirby Sigston Village Hall early this morning, representing their Yorkshire constituency of Richmond and Northallerton.
In order to cast a ballot, they, like every other voter, had to make sure they carried proper photo identification, like a passport or driver’s license.
For the first time, voters in the UK who wish to cast a ballot in person at a general election this year will need to present identification before being given a ballot.
Later on this morning, Sir Keir cast his ballot at a polling place in their north London seat of Holborn and St. Pancras, where he was accompanied by his wife Victoria.
They arrived at Kentish Town’s Willingham Close TRA Hall holding hands.
According to a final Ipsos poll released today, Labour’s vote share dropped to 37%, a five-point decrease from the previous week.
However, Sir Keir’s party continued to dominate the Tories by a comfortable 18 points, with their 19% share remaining steady.
More than 2,000 adults participated in the poll, which was conducted between Monday and yesterday night. Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party was ranked 15th, followed by the Liberal Democrats at 11 and the Greens at 9.
According to Ipsos records, the Conservative Party’s vote percentage has not increased since the late 1970s, while Labour’s vote share has decreased since 2021.
