Labour is on course for a 256-seat majority at the general election while the Tories are heading for their worst-ever defeat, according to a new poll.
In its first MRP model of the 2024 campaign, Ipsos estimated Sir Keir Starmer's party could win 453 seats and the Conservatives 115. If correct, that would hand Labour a historic majority of 256 - while plunging the number of Tory MPs to record lows with senior figures such as Grant Shapps, Penny Mordaunt, Gillian Keegan, Johnny Mercer and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg losing their seats.
Despite promises of further tax cuts in his manifesto, Rishi Sunak has failed to shift the dial in a campaign marred by political gaffes - notably his early exit from a D-day event. In recent days, senior figures have taken to warning voters about the risk of a Labour supermajority in a bid to convince undecided voters to stick with them. The projection predicts a huge majority for Labour even when factoring in more than 100 seats which are 'too close to call'.
