Tories to slump to lowest number of seats since party's formation, new poll projects
Wednesday, 19 June 2024 Labour are on course for a majority of 200 according to a new YouGov projection, which also suggests the Tories will slump to their lowest number of seats at an election since the party's formation.
Kemi Badenoch, whose party currently holds around half the seats up for election on Thursday, acknowledges that the local elections present her with a challenge. Visiting a farm in Lincolnshire, the Conservative leader says, “it is a very, very competitive political environment” and claims Reform UK are profiting through Labour doing so “badly”.

Video emerged of the group at a November 2023 gig appearing to show one member saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP." The Conservative leader accuses Kneecap of being "anti-British” and says, “they should be prosecuted”. Report by Blairm.
