Britain is poised to elect Labour Party leader Keir Starmer as the next prime minister, ending the Conservative Party’s 14-year rule. Polls indicate a significant lead for Labour, reflecting voter desire for change rather than strong support for the party. Starmer promises a new chapter for Britain, while outgoing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warns of economic risks under Labour. Labour’s lead follows Conservative turmoil, including multiple prime ministers and economic instability. Polls open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., with results expected early Friday.
