Results are expected in the early hours of Friday. Polling stations in Scotland have opened in the General Election. Voters will cast their ballots on Thursday in the first UKwide vote since 2019, with Labour tipped to win the keys to 10 Downing Street. Polling places are open from 7am to 10pm, with results expected in the early hours of Friday. The outlook is much less clear north of the border, with Labour looking to end more than a decade of SNP domination at Westminster. Labour was reduced to a single MP. Sir Keir Starmer s party led in Scotland by Anas Sarwar has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years against a backdrop of turmoil for the Conservatives, putting Labour in pole position this time around. Scotland boasts a number of the more intriguing local battles in this election, including the Aberdeenshire North and Moray East seat. Andy Brown who was due to stand for the party was suspended and stripped of support after reports of controversial social media posts, which he denies. Glasgow could also become one of the major stories, with the city dropping from seven seats in the previous Parliament to six due to boundary changes. Scotland s biggest city was a Labour stronghold for decades before it lost all of its seats there in 2015 as it struggled to hold on to the unionist vote in Scotland, meaning Glasgow could become a battleground as the party seeks to win some seats back from the SNP. He also met his candidate Dave Doogan who is running in the Angus and Perthshire Glens constituency. After voting, he hugged and shook hands with Labour candidate for Glasgow South West Zubir Ahmed, and shook hands with Labour activists as well as an SNP activist. A woman with a sign that read Starmer is a snake approached and followed Mr Sarwar on to the street, before posing for pictures. Mr Ross will cast his ballot in the Aberdeenshire North and Moray East seat he is contesting, while Scottish Lib Dem leader Alex ColeHamilton will head to a polling place in Edinburgh. The coleaders of the Scottish Greens, Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater, will cast their votes in Glasgow and Edinburgh respectively.
