Boris Johnson is 16 points behind Labour as a result of a Mail on Sunday survey on the seats that he must retain in order to win next Election.
Deltapoll’s survey of the 57 constituencies that the Conservatives won in 2019 General Election places Labour at 49 percent and the Conservatives at only 33%, according to the poll.
This poll shows Sir Keir’s party leading in national voter intention. Labour is at 40%, and the Tories are at 35%.
If the results were repeated in a General Election it could lead to the loss of more than 100 Tory seats – enough to put Sir Keir in No10, although without a clear majority.
This comes as Tory backbenchers start to think about whether to send letters asking for Sir Graham Brady’s vote, chairman of Conservatives’ 1922 Committee.

Red Wall seat MPs from Labour heartlands dominate the “Tory gain” seats. This is the first time that the Tories have won the Red Wall seats.
Ashfield’s Lee Anderson writes in Sunday’s Mail on Sunday that Johnson is beginning to be doubtful about his Tory vote because of ‘the massive rises of the cost of life coming down, through higher electricity bills which my voters much more than the platitudes spouted by the rich elite who flew in private planes into the COP26 summit’.
Red Wall voters gave Sir Keir 38 percent to Mr Johnson’s 33 percent. The results indicate that Tories have suffered from their standing in swing seats due to the row over Downing Street parties in apparent disregard of Covid laws.
Just 16 percent of those who voted in the seats believed Johnson had followed the rules. However, 72 percent said he didn’t.
The mistakes made by No10 that led to Lord Frost’s resignation as Brexit Minister have fueled speculation about whether the MPs will be able to force a vote for no-confidence or a presidential election.
Sir Graham needs to receive 54 letters to trigger a vote – but guards the number sent in.
According to the Deltapoll survey, Labour is at 49% and Conservatives are at 33% in respect of the 57 constituencies they won. This poll shows Sir Keir starmer’s party leading in national voter intention. Labour is at 40%, while the Tories are at 35%.
Despite his reputation for discretion, it has been claimed to The Mail on Sunday that an ally of Mr Johnson’s on the committee has tried to dissuade MPs from submitting letters by telling them they ‘can’t trust Graham to keep their identities secret’ – a claim Sir Graham described as ‘odd’.
With a “reboot” of his Government, which includes a shakeup at No10 as well as the delayed launch of his levelling-up’ manifesto, the Prime Minister hopes that the turmoil will be quenched.
However, the opposition of Chancellor Rishi to spending more on top of the hundreds of billions of Covid support to the economy has hampered the plan.
A poll of 1,567 British adults conducted between December 23rd and 30, found that Mr Sunak was the most popular choice to succeed Mr Johnson for both national and Red Wall sampling.
Deltapoll’s five-point lead in the national vote for Labour was the biggest since the General Election.
If the results of its polls were repeated at a General Election then the Tories might lose more than 100 seats (including potentially 50 of those that they gained in 2019).
If the results were repeated in a General Election it could lead to the loss of more than 100 Tory seats – enough to put Sir Keir in No10, although without a clear majority.
Deltapoll’s figure of 57 constituencies was based on the Tories taking 58 from other parties, less the former Speaker John Bercow.
In 2019, the party saw a net gain in 48 seats, while losing ten.
Last night, Sir John Redwood (Tory MP) urged Johnson not to increase National Insurance’s April rate or risk losing May’s local elections.
On Mail Online, he wrote: “Sandbagging an economy with a tax job will slow growth and make getting down the deficit more difficult.”
