Rishi Sunak's Tories risk losing more than 1,000 council seats at the local elections in May, according to a new analysis.
Elections experts Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher said Keir Starmer's Labour Party could scoop 700 seats if there is a swing of 6% from the Conservatives.
The result would be dire for Mr Sunak and could potentially reignite the civil war within the Tory Party - just a year out from a general election.
