Bombshell new poll would see Tories WIPED OUT in the North - three years on from election success

Three years to the day since Brits woke up to a thumping Conservative majority, a new poll suggests the party could soon be wiped out in the North. The Tories broke new ground in the 2019 General Election, breaking up many of Labour's 'Red Wall' heartlands on a promise to 'get Brexit done', as they secured their biggest election win in 32 years.

By the time the sun rose on December 13, the day after the UK went to the polls, Jeremy Corbyn had already announced his resignation as Labour leader with the party 60 seats lighter in the House of Commons. Greater Manchester had nine Conservative MPs - even in Leigh, which had never been represented by a Tory since the constituency was created in 1885.

But now, three years on, a bombshell new poll suggests the Conservatives will not only be booted out of office at the next General Election - but they could also be left without a single MP in the North of England. The new MRP poll from Savanta and Electoral Calculus announced today gives Labour a whopping 314 seat majority in the House of Commons.
