The latest poll from Ipsos shows that the Tory vote share has fallen to just 19 per cent – a record low for the second consecutive month – with Labour leading by 25 points on 44 per cent.
It’s worth remembering that the current 19 percent the Tories find themselves on is three points lower than the 22 per cent recorded by John Major in May 1995, two years before Tony Blair’s landslide election win.
