UK's political parties have made their pitch to the people. Six weeks after PM Rishi Sunak called a snap election, the campaign is over, and the choice is now left to the voters of the UK.

The polls have Labour - led by Sir Keir Starmer - well ahead. They've spent the last 14 years in opposition. Nigel Farage's populist Reform Party has polled strongly but analysts say the UK's voting system will make it hard for them to pick up the swathe of seats they're hoping for.

The incumbent Tories, led by Rishi Sunak, their fifth PM in 14 years, look set for a defeat. It's how much by which is the big question - and the Liberal Democrats, led by Ed Davey, are hoping to overtake the Conservativese in the parliament.
