Sir Ed Davey and his wife, Emily, visited a polling station in Surbiton on Thursday 4 July to vote in the general election. The Liberal Democrat leader said “It’s a beautiful day, I hope lots of people come out to vote” after casting his ballot. Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer were also spotted at polling stations on Thursday morning as they vie to win the election after weeks of campaigning.
