There’s speculation it's a low voter turnout in the UK, despite projections of a historic and dramatic election result.

In the meantime, Keir Starmer's Labour could win the biggest majority since 1832.

He says the opinion polls show record lows for the main two parties, so turnout could dip below 70%.
