General election 2024: Last general election results in 2019 and which parties were in second place

Voters are going to the polls on Thursday, July 3 in one of the most competitive elections in recent decades with a whole range of national issues including the NHS, cost of living crisis, sewage spillages and the impact of immigration top of many people’s concerns.
