A voter arrives at a polling station located at the Hampstead Seventh-Day Adventist Church, in Hampstead, north London, to cast his vote in local elections, on May 2, 2024. Polls opened across the UK for local and mayoral elections. The polls are the last major electoral test before a general election that Sunak's party, in power since 2010, seems destined to lose to the Labour opposition. More than 2,500 councillors are standing in England on Thursday, as well as London's Labour mayor Sadiq Khan who is seeking a record third term in office. (Photo by BENJAMIN CREMEL / AFP)
