New poll predicts Labour General Election landslide of 194 seats in unprecedented win
A NEW poll this evening has predicted Labour will win after a landslide majority of 194 seats – the biggest for 100 years.
The survey found it was the worst turn out Tory rout since 1906, as, the Conservatives begin their second full week of election campaigning.

With the latest YouGov projection of 422 Labour wins, this would be a historic victory.
Keir Starmer’s majority would be bigger than the number Tony Blair achieved in 1997.
And, this result would be the second largest majority in British political history.
It comes as the Tories vowed to enshrine the rights of biological sex over gender.
It would let providers of single-sex services and spaces exclude trans women without fear of being taken to court for discrimination.
And it would allow firms to stop biological men entering sensitive places such as toilets, changing rooms and domestic violence hostels.
This will be done by strengthening the Equalities Act to make clear that the protected characteristic of sex refers specifically to biology.
Rishi Sunak has said this needs clarifying because of the surge in trans people since the last Labour government introduced the Act.
The PM said: “The Conservatives believe that making this change in law will enhance protections in a way that respects the privacy and dignity of everyone in society.
“We are taking an evidence-led approach to this issue so we can continue to build a secure future for everyone across the whole country.”
Meanwhile it was also revealed in court documents that the controversial flights to Rwanda will take off in just over seven weeks if Sunak wins the upcoming election.
Planes will leave the runway headed to the east African country on July 24 – but only if the Conservatives are victorious at the ballot box.
The date is set to spark clashes between the PM and Sir Keir Starmer in the first debate between the two leaders tomorrow night.
Both leaders spent the weekend prepping for their hour-long head-to-head on ITV, with Mr Sunak hoping to claw back ground in the polls.
It comes after a YouGov poll on May 29 revealed 47 per cent of Brits were supporting Labour, while just 20 per cent backed the Tories and 12 per cent are vying for Reform.
And, Nigel Farage has now announced he will stand in the General Election for Reform after being named its new leader.
The party’s former honorary president declared he would throw his hat into the ring on July 4 as he pledged to lead a “political revolt”.
A separate poll on May 28 – conducted by JL Partners – showed Labour’s lead down six points since March.
The outlier survey undertaken for the left-wing Rest Is Politics podcast has Labour on 40 to the Tories 28 percent.
YouGov’s latest research for Sky News indicates that the PM’s campaign efforts are so far failing to revive his party’s prospects this election.
Given such numbers would hand Sir Keir Starmer the keys to No10, morale amongst Tory MPs will likely remain low, unless the government can turn things around quickly.
Nevertheless, on each campaign visit the PM has insisted that the election isn’t a done deal and he will fight for every vote.
With big announcements on National Service, cracking down on “Mickey Mouse degrees” and a push to win back the silver voter, he is seeking to keep July 4’s General Election as competitive as possible.

JL Partners previously explained their poll: “Though the public still expect Starmer to win (with 51 per cent believing he will be Prime Minister versus Sunak’s 15 per cent), his lead has begun narrowing.
“Labour’s lead is now lower than the 15 point lead in early May, and the 18 point lead in April. Despite the tightening, Starmer’s lead on who would make the best PM has remained steady since early April with a 12-point advantage.
“The Conservative 2019 coalition continues to be fragmented. The Conservatives are holding on to just under half of their 2019 voters and 14 per cent still say they ‘Don’t know’.
“The big shift that has happened is amongst the over-65s. In early May, the Tories had a ten point lead with the over-65s (39 per cent to Labour’s 29 per cent). That is now a 20-point lead: 44 per cent for the Tories and 23 per cent for Labour.
“This shift is outside of the margin of error and is statistically significant. Labour retains a significant lead amongst all other age groups.
“Additionally, fewer Conservative voters (23 per cent) have said they would consider voting Reform UK, almost 4 in 10 Reform voters say they would consider the Conservatives.”
