The Conservatives are facing a wipeout in the so-called Red Wall seats in England at the next General Election, a new poll has revealed.
According to the survey, which was conducted by J.L. Partners for Channel 4, Labour is now 11 points ahead of Boris Johnson 's party in the north of England and Wales.
The Prime Minister's rating have also fallen dramatically since accusations of lockdown parties in Downing Street surfaced at the end of last year.
A total of 518 people from Red Wall seats in the North, Wales and Midlands were asked between January 6 and 16 about who they may vote for in the next election.
Results show Labour 's support sits at 48 per cent, while the Tories came in at 37 per cent with the Lib Dems on eight per cent.
Boris Johnson's leadership and lockdown breaching parties were the main reason for the drop in support for the Tories.
The survey suggests the Tories would win all but three of the 45 Red Walls seats it won from Labour at the 2019 General Election, with just Dudley North, Bassetlaw and Great Grimsby staying blue.
Boris Johnson's approval rating also dropped from net -9 in December, 2021 to net -35.
MPs from the former Red Wall were said to have met on Tuesday to discuss Johnson's future in a gathering nicknamed the "pork pie plot" or the "pork pie putsch", and one told The Daily Telegraph the 15 per cent of letters needed to trigger a challenge could be reached on Wednesday.
Johnson, who was reported to have spent Tuesday evening in his Commons office meeting with potential rebels, apologised multiple times in a major broadcast interview for "misjudgments that were made".
But he stuck to his defence that he had thought a "bring your own booze" party held in the No 10 garden on May 20, 2020 had been a work event and he had not been warned about it in advance.
