Keir Starmer is on course to lead Labour to an even bigger victory than Tony Blair’s landslide in 1997, according to a major new poll.
The Survation survey of more than 12,000 people predicts the Tories will return just 156 MPs – around 200 less than they have now.
Labour, on the other hand, would see their number of MPs soar to 431, handing Starmer a 212-seat majority.
In 1997, Blair’s New Labour won a majority of 179 and ended up holding on to power for 13 years.
In recent days he has also been embroiled in a row with home secretary Suella Braverman over her article in The Times accusing the police of having a left-wing bias.
Sunak is now under intense pressure from many within his own party to sack the home secretary, but that could spark an angry backlash from right-wing Tory MPs.
Starmer, on the other hand, will be delighted at the poll’s findings, which come despite his own internal problems.
The Labour leader is facing a major rebellion by dozens of his own MPs – including many frontbenchers – over his refusal to support calls for a ceasefire in the Israel/Hamas war.
