Poll puts Tories on lowest seat total in history

How is the Conservative campaign going? Well, according to the latest YouGov poll, things are looking worse for Rishi Sunak and his party than when he called the election. The latest MRP poll from the pollster suggests that were an election held now, the Labour party would return 425 MPs, the Conservatives would come in second on 108 seats and the Liberal Democrats in third on 67 MPs.

What will make this particularly uncomfortable is that the figures are less favourable to the Tories than their poll two weeks ago – they are down 32 MPs from the last poll. Meanwhile, Labour are up two from that poll. The big winner, however, appears to be the Liberal Democrats who are now predicted to win a whopping 67 seats (including Michael Gove’s old seat of Surrey Heath), a significant improvement.
