Polls closed Thursday night, with an exit poll expected to give a sense of the results shortly after. “The younger generation are far more interested in change,’’ Mulcahy said. “So, I think whatever happens in Henley, in the country, there will be a big shift.

In the first hour polls were open, Sunak made the short journey from his home to vote at Kirby Sigston Village Hall in his Richmond constituency in northern England. He arrived with his wife, Akshata Murty, and walked hand-in-hand into the village hall, which is surrounded by rolling fields. Former Labour candidate Douglas Beattie, author of the book “How Labour Wins ,” said Starmer’s “quiet stability probably chimes with the mood of the country right now.”
