Tories to keep hold of less than 100 seats as Labour take 468, new poll suggests in further blow to Rishi Sunak - whose own constituency survey says is also at risk

The Tories are on track to suffer their worst election result with less than 100 seats, while Labour could sweep the board with 468, a new poll suggests.

In such a scenario, Sir Keir Starmer's party could end up with a 286-seat majority as Britain swings from Conservative rule to the first Labour government in 14 years, according to a 15,000-person MRP poll conducted by Survation on behalf of Best for Britain.

With 45 per cent of the vote, Labour would largely dominate the House of Commons, with the Tories picking up just 98 seats and notably not one in Scotland or Wales, The Sunday Times reports.
Adding to his woes, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is not even guaranteed his own constituency, with just a 2.5 percentage point lead and the new Richmond & Northallerton seat forecast to be won by Labour.

Also treading a fine line of risk is Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, who leads by just one point over the Liberal Democrats in his new seat of Goldaming & Ash.

This latest poll will fuel further fears that delaying the election until later in the year will almost guarantee a Conservative defeat.

Tory MPs have privately told Sunak fears that things will only get worse for the party, suggesting the PM could use the Rwanda row as a springboard for a campaign.

The frenzied speculation came as the PM publicly bemoaned his 'hospital pass' from Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, saying he had inherited the 'worst' situation for 'decades'.

Conservative unrest has been mounting over previous dire polls showing Keir Starmer on track for a landslide when the country goes to the ballot boxes.

Election guru Sir John Curtice has estimated a 99 per cent chance of Labour being in power in the next Parliament.
