Tories are consolidating while Labour are extending leads in key marginals

Lord Ashcroft has released his latest round of polling, looking at ten competitive Tory-Labour seats. In all of the constituencies, Ashcroft has reported swings to Labour, ranging from 0.5 per cent to seven per cent. At present, five of the seats are set to remain with the Conservatives: Cleethorpes, Dover, Dudley South, Harlow and North East Somerset. Some of the Tory leads are considerable: Rob Halfon in Harlow has a ten point lead, while Jacob Rees-Mogg in North East Somerset has a 16 point lead. Use the interactive chart above to see all the latest polls for each seat.

Equally, the other half of the seats Ashcroft has polled are looking beyond reach for the Conservatives., Labour is currently on track to gain Crewe and Nantwich, Finchley & Golders Green and Milton Keynes South. South Ribble and Rossendale & Darween in Lancashire both have five per cent swings from Conservative to Labour but they are currently tied.
