Should the poll findings prove accurate, Rishi Sunak would become the first sitting prime minister ever to lose their seat at a general election.
A new MRP poll from Savanta and Electoral Calculus has been published in the Telegraph, and it makes grim reading for the Tories. According to the poll, the Tories are headed for their worst ever defeat and are predicted to end up with just 53 seats.
The poll for the paper also predicts that around three-quarters of the Cabinet could be voted out. Labour is predicted to end up on 516 seats, with the Liberal Democrats on 50, while Reform end up with zero seats.
