Survation Poll: Tories Forecasted for Only 72 Seats in Next UK Parliament
The Sunday Times published a recent Survation poll for Best for Britain, which has sent shockwaves through British politics by predicting that the Conservative Party will secure only 72 seats in the upcoming election. In stark contrast, Labour is sweeping a staggering 456 seats, potentially surpassing Tony Blair’s historic 1997 landslide victory.
Accusations Fly Over Immigration Plans
Amidst the electoral turbulence, controversy has erupted over the Conservative Party’s immigration strategy. Both Labour and Nigel Farage have accused the Tories of deception regarding plans to relocate more migrants to Rwanda ahead of the July 4th election.
The Independent reports that voluntary transfers of individuals currently residing illegally in the UK—originating from Nigeria and Pakistan—are allegedly part of this initiative. The move has sparked heated debate over the ethical and political implications of such actions during an election cycle.
Farage Claims Ground as New Opposition
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has seized on the tumultuous political climate, asserting that his party is now the "new opposition." This declaration comes on the heels of a YouGov poll that positioned Reform UK ahead of the Conservative Party for the first time. Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has denounced Farage’s tactics as "incredibly divisive," accusing him of attempting to "destroy" the Conservative Party from within.
