Conservatives surge ahead

The Telegraph reports:

The Conservatives are further ahead of Labour in the polls than they have been at any point in almost a decade, according to a new survey which gives the Tories a 21 point lead.  

A new poll puts Theresa May and the Conservatives on 44 per cent with Jeremy Corbyn’s party trailing far behind on just 23 per cent.

The UK has FPP so a result on this poll would probably see them win 420 or so seats and Labour around 130.

Despite the gloomy predictions shadow home secretary Diane Abbott, a key ally of Mr Corbyn, insisted Labour would be “languishing” below 10 per cent in the polls if he was forced out as leader by party critics.

We can only hope.
