Meanwhile, Diane Abbott turned up to vote in the Election 2017 just a day after being replaced as shadow Home Secretary due to ill-health.
The gaffe-prone Labour politician looked downtrodden as she donned a red suit and black top to cast her vote just a day after she pulled out of two major election events on Tuesday.
Ms Abbott was temporarily replaced by Lyn Brown before today's election over health concerns.
