Poll shows Tories on course for sizeable majority

Boris Johnson is on course to win the general election with a comfortable majority by taking seats in Labour heartlands, according to a projection poll which accurately forecast the hung parliament in 2017.

With just over two weeks to polling day, the constituency-by-constituency estimate by YouGov indicates that if the election was held on Thursday, the Conservative Party would win 359 seats, 42 more than they took in 2017.

Labour, meanwhile, are set to lose 51 seats, falling from 262 seats in 2017 to 211 now, and taking 32% of the vote, a nine percentage point decrease.



Julia Hartley-Brewer speaks with:

► Former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith ► 0:00

► Shadow chief secretary to the Treasury Peter Dowd ► 10:24

► SNP election candidate Drew Hendry ► 23:40

► Health Secretary Matt Hancock ► 30:02

► Liberal Democrat election candidate Christine Jardine ► 40:15

Labour could still bring out the big guns, Diane Abbott and Emily Thornberry I bet Andrew Neil is bricking it

[frankjenkins]

You must vote, they are trying to make us complacent, Do not forget those who promised us they would leave ! DRAIN THE SWAMP.

I will vote Tory, it will be the first time ever. I want what i voted for in 2016, out of the EU. Boris will not be doing what was voted for but its near enough. The next time my vote will not be for the Tories as i think the Brexit party can deliver the coup de grace to the EU. Boris's DEAL will be remain by stealth.

Also use an ink pen on your ballot paper, I don’t trust pencil markings, you know what I’m saying

[davidrenton]

Who would want to buy the NHS? Not exactly a money maker!

The "Direction of Travel" seems to be the Labor Party becoming more and more hysterical.. 🤣🤣 the mask has slipped, and they keep digging themselves deeper and deeper..

[johnnybourgeois]

Polls said that last time too.
They also said Remain would win comfortably.
24 hours before Trumpety-Trump was elected the Polls said he hadn't a chance.
Polls are getting wronger every cycle.
Pollsters should go & get a real job.

what is about communism that attracts idiots ? ah, just answered my question.

[ginigang]

£9 per prescription and £60 for a tooth extraction are hardly examples of free NHS. If the USA can provide a cheaper NHS drug deal then why not? Ah, Trump, that's why.

[TheScortUK]

Here's hoping, as a big thank you, Boris will get us out on no deal/WTO.

[charlestee]

Cummings is right. You only win after the final whistle not before the start of the game and you don't take for granted the opposition because of unforeseen factors.

[tomsmith]

To me this general election is about Brexit, there is only one candidate I can vote for in my constituency that comes anywhere near Brexit due to Mr Farage withdrawing the BP candidate..This particular Labour Party has not got my support, maybe it never will in future, I don’t like the way their heading .

Looking forward to Commie Corbyn’s resignation on Dec 13th.
