The Conservatives are at risk of being “all but wiped out” in London, according to a new poll.
The Savanta poll found that both Reform and the Liberal Democrats are set to benefit from the Tory troubles, but Labour overall commands a 30-point lead in Londoners’ voting intentions — 49 per cent to 19 per cent for the Conservatives.
It comes as the main party leaders threw themselves into final-week campaigning four days before the electikon - in the case of Ed Davey, literally, as he went bungee jumping in Eastbourne.
In the last Monday of campaigning, Rishi Sunak admitted voters were “frustrated” with the Tory government.
He told an audience in Staffordshire: “If these polls are right, and Labour are in power with a supermajority, you have to think about what that will mean... If you hand Labour a blank cheque you will not be able to get it back.”
Sir Keir Starmer took questions from the press in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, as his Labour party urged voters not to “risk waking up to five more years of a Conservative government”.
