Anti-Conservative campaigners are predicting five leading Tories could lose their seats in aims for the "heaviest possible" electoral defeat for the Government.
The campaign group Best for Britain have been advising voters how to vote on July 4 to keep the Conservatives out of government for at least a decade and to avoid electing Reform UK MPs.
Based on MRP polling, it found that a third in almost every constituency will vote tactically in this election.
This means Penny Mordaunt, Jeremy Hunt, Grant Shapps, James Cleverly and Robert Jenrick could all lose their seats if voters work together to get rid of the Tory candidates.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, and former home secretaries Suella Braverman and Dame Priti Patel are also potential casualties of tactical voting.
Best for Britain is recommending voting tactically for the Labour Party in 370 seats, the Liberal Democrats in 69, the Greens in 3, the SNP in 7 and Plaid Cymru in 2.
No recommendations have been made for 181 seats as the opposition party is so far ahead in those constituencies.
In Rishi Sunak's seat of Richmond and Northallerton, the campaigners are advising to vote for Labour, and have reported that 40 per cent of people intend to vote tactically in that area.

The organisation is also advising people to vote for Labour in Clacton, to prevent Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, from becoming an MP.
In Godalming and Ash, the campaigners are recommending a vote for the Lib Dems to unseat Chancellor Jeremy Hunt.
The poll and MRP analysis of 22,149 people taken by Survation found tactical voting crucial to Labour's lead in the polls as one in five people who say they are voting for Starmer's party are doing so tactically.
While at least a third of voters in 558 constituencies said they would vote tactically to change the government, this jumps to 40 per cent in 234 seats and over 50 per cent in 31 seats.
This graph shows Labour is leading in the polls with 39.6 per cent followed by the Conservatives (23.5 per cent) and Reform UK (12.3 per cent)
