Voters in the 650 constituencies across the United Kingdom are set to head to their local polling station for the 2024 General Election on Thursday, July 4.

After 14 years of Conservative rule, the opinion polls suggest the people of the UK are set to boot Rishi Sunak’s gang from power and hand Keir Starmer’s Labour a landslide majority.

There is chitter chatter that the Tories are in danger of losing more than 200 seats, while constituencies where they boast huge majorities could be at risk.

Whether it’s in favour of Labour or the Liberal Democrats, a whole host of areas could be set to turn their backs on the Conservatives.

There are other exciting battlegrounds across the UK, however, including Islington North where former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is taking on his old party and Clacton where Nigel Farage is hoping to win a seat in the House of Commons at the eighth time of asking.

I’ve run the rule over 10 key constituencies ahead of the big vote and predicted the winners, otherwise, UK General Election constituency odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app.

Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Ed Davey, Nigel Farage

Aldershot – Labour

A constituency where Rishi Sunak’s D-Day debacle could cost the Conservatives votes due to Aldershot’s proud military connections.

Aldershot has returned a Conservative to the House of Commons at every vote since its creation in 1918 but the most recent MP, Leo Docherty, faces the threat of Reform UK taking support from his base and the potential for tactical voting boosting a Labour Party appealing to this sort of area.

1/6
Labour Aldershot

Chichester – Liberal Democrat

The Liberal Democrats are hoping to exact revenge on the Conservatives and win as many seats as possible in their traditional southern heartlands.

Chichester, which has been held by the Tories since the time of Queen Victoria bar one year of Liberal representation, has emerged as a target for Ed Davey and their canvassing data must have been encouraging as the party leader stopped in the constituency during his nationwide campaign.

A 21,490 majority looks difficult to overturn but Reform UK are standing this time around, which should further impact Tory candidate Gillian Keegan’s total.

1/2
Liberal Democrat Chichester

Clacton – Reform UK

The setting for Nigel Farage’s latest attempt to gain a seat in the House of Commons.

The polls point towards the Reform UK comfortably winning the Essex constituency and it’s no surprise he is the red-hot favourite.

1/40
Reform UK Clacton

Godalming and Ash – Liberal Democrat

Jeremy Hunt, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and one of the most prominent figures of the last 14 years of Conservative rule, is facing a huge fight from the Liberal Democrats in Surrey.

It is the type of traditional Tory stronghold that is likely to be lost to the Lib Dems and provide one of the most high-profile defeats of the whole night.

1/5
Liberal Democrat Godalming and Ash

Huntingdon – Conservative

If the Conservatives were to lose Huntingdon, the seat of former Prime Minister John Major, then they would be entering extinction territory.

A 19,383 majority is likely to be significantly slashed by Labour, although I think new candidate Ben Obese-Jecty will just about hold the seat.

11/8
Conservative Huntingdon

Islington North – Jeremy Corbyn

This proper ding-dong battle in north London will have little bearing on the overall result of the General Election, but it would be significant if Jeremy Corbyn is returned to Parliament outside of the Labour machine.

A recent constituency poll suggested the veteran socialist is a distant second to his former party’s candidate, although his personal popularity in the area and a motivated Get Out The Vote operation could win him the prize.

8/11
Jeremy Corbyn Islington North

North East Somerset and Hanham – Labour

Jacob Rees-Mogg looks like being consigned to the history books – probably where he feels most comfortable – as Labour are the hot favourites to win this new constituency.

Polling suggests Dan Norris is set for an emphatic victory as Reform are likely to eat into the Tory vote and the Liberal Democrats have not earmarked it as a major target.

1/6
Labour North East Somerset and Hanham

Portsmouth North – Conservative

A constituency that could have major ramifications for the Conservatives future. If Penny Mordaunt holds on then she would be a leading contender to succeed Rishi Sunak as Tory bigwig, if she loses then the grassroots would have to find a new candidate to rally around.

While Mordaunt has won the last four votes in the seat, the area has a history of voting Labour during the Tony Blair era – although they were marginal successes – and UKIP’s strong third place in 2015 suggests Reform will perform well.

It’ll be close but I don’t think it’s quite the open goal for Labour that Paddy Power’s betting suggests and a Conservative win at odds-against looks decent value.

13/8
Conservative Portsmouth North

Richmond and Northallerton – Conservative

Rishi Sunak is hoping to avoid becoming the first Prime Minister in history to lose his seat in a General Election and the fact he has been campaigning in the constituency suggests his local team are concerned.

It is a brand new seat mainly comprising his former constituency of Richmond (Yorks) but he should just about scrape home, which would leave him facing a spell on the backbenches if his party are hammered all over the UK.

1/4
Conservative Richmond and Northallerton

Witney – Liberal Democrat

The area of David Cameron’s former seat has been trending towards the Liberal Democrats in recent years and it would only be a minor surprise if Charlie Maynard can beat Robert Courts.

A 15,177 majority will be tricky to overturn, but Reform UK are likely to eat into the Tory vote and it could flip by the slimmest of margins.

8/11
Liberal Democrat Witney
