After one of the most tumultuous years in British political history, polls have opened in the country's general election.Less than a year since Britain voted to leave the European Union and just 11 days before the start of negotiations over the terms of that departure begins, the snap election was called by British Prime Minister Theresa May with a focus on securing a mandate to take into Brexit talks.
Theresa May arrives at Buckingham Palace for Queen’s permission to form government with DUP By Nicole Morley
The PM set off from 10 Downing Street with husband Philip to make the short journey to the palace in a chauffeur driven Government car. The move came after it was made clear that Mrs May has no intention of standing down as Conservative leader, despite calls from among her own MPs for her to consider her position. It is thought that she is hopeful of striking some sort of deal with the Democratic Unionist Party to allow Tories to continue in government despite failing to achieve an absolute majority in the House of Commons.
Now Theresa is more popular than Maggie! New poll reveals May gets the highest score EVER on who is best for No 10 beating both Thatcher and Blair By Tim Sculthorpe, Deputy Political Editor For Mailonline

The new poll, for today's Evening Standard, showed the Conservative Party was on 49 per cent and Labour 26 per cent.
How will the general election result affect Brexit? By Emily Allen
The general election result has plunged Britain into political chaos just 10 days before the government was due to begin the all-important Brexit negotiations. With a hung parliament after a dramatic night resulted in Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative Party losing its majority in the House of Commons, the nation now faces a minority government.
Mrs May will now team up Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), which will narrowly give her the numbers she needs to pass legislation in the Commons, but it's clear a significant period of political instability lies ahead. So how will this impact Brexit, membership of the single market and free movement?
General election polls 2017: Final tracker and odds By Ashley Kirk
The final general election 2017 polls - all published before polling booths opened at 7am today - have given a last minute boost to the Conservatives, after a Labour surge that saw the gap close dramatically.
