Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is heading for a 162-seat majority in next month’s UK general election, according to a More in Common poll that’s the latest to point to Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak being swept out of office after the vote in 15 days’ time.
Labour is likely to win 406 seats, almost doubling their tally from 2019, while the Tory count is projected to more than halve to 155 seats, according to the seat-by-seat analysis by More in Common for the News Agents podcast. The Liberal Democrats are on track to take 49 seats — up 38 on the last election.
