Labour is set to win a whopping 458 seats at the next General Election with the Tories crashing to under 100 in what is tipped to be an electoral catastrophe for Rishi Sunak’s party, a new poll has shown.
A seat-by-seat analysis is forecasting Keir Starmer to win in a landslide with a huge 286-majority over the Conservative party.
The MRP poll, conducted by Survation on behalf of Best for Britain, asked 15,000 people how they would vote in the next General Election.
According to the data, Labour would take home 45 per cent of the vote share and would hold a 19-point lead over the Tory party.

It also showed the Conservative party winning just 98 seats, with none being won in Scotland or Wales.
Undecided voters were not accounted for in the survey but represented about 15 per cent of those polled.
Former Brexit secretary Lord Frost said the figures showed the “desperate situation” the Conservative Party was facing.
“The polling is getting worse over time, not better,” he told The Times.
“The Tory party needs to face up to the reality that its current policies have alienated huge numbers of our voters.
“Only a shift to properly conservative policies, to deliver the change in the way the country is run that people voted for with Brexit, can alter that. It’s not too late – but time is running out.”

The MRP polling’s shock result also shows the Prime Minister could lose his own constituency of Richmond & Northallerton as he sits ahead of Labour by just 2.5 percentage points.
Nigel Farage, who has been tipped as a potential candidate to help get the Tory party back on track gave GB News his clearest message yet on whether he would join Rishi’s ranks.
Patrick Christys shared his direct message after it was reported that Tory MPs have urged Rishi Sunak to offer the GB News presenter a deal to make him the UK’s ambassador to the US or hand him a peerage in return for not standing for Reform at the election.
GB News host Patrick Christys questioned: “Any conservative politicians holding out hope that Rishi might develop an urge to buy Nigel Farage off and stop him from wiping the Tories off the map by giving him a cushy job as our envoy to America?

“That was doing the headlines earlier on and that was the rumour today.
“Unfortunately, I've got some bad news for you. I called Nigel at about 4 pm today, and I asked him whether or not there was any chance of this happening.”
In the conversation, Nigel told Patrick: “I am not for sale. If they wanted to do this, they should have done this in 2017.
“Rishi is finished. The fact that they are thinking of doing this now shows what dreadful people they are.”
