00:00Britain's began voting on Thursday in a parliamentary election that is expected to bring Keir Starmer's
00:08Labour Party to power, sweeping away Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservatives after
00:1314 often turbulent years.
00:16Opinion polls put Starmer's centre-left party on course for a landslide victory, but also
00:21suggest many voters simply want change after a period of infighting and turmoil under the
00:27Conservatives that led to five Prime Ministers in eight years.
00:31The country's 40,000 polling stations open at 0600 GMT.
00:37Sunak was among those to vote early.
00:40He walked into the polling station in North Allerton, accompanied by his wife Akshata
00:45Murthy, to cast his vote.
00:48Having called the election months earlier than expected, Sunak has in recent weeks abandoned
00:54his call for a fifth consecutive Conservative victory, switching instead to warning of the
01:00dangers of an unchallenged Labour Party in Parliament.
