YouGov has denied claims it spiked a poll in the run-up to the General Election 2017 because it was "too positive about Labour".

Chris Curtis, former member of staff at YouGov, alleged on Twitter on Wednesday that he was banned from publishing a poll following a debate in Cambridge Jeremy Corbyn took part in which results were "stark" and showed Labour had won "by a mile" and one in four Tory voters thought Corbyn was best.
