4. Theresa May 'set to win General Election in biggest landslide since Margaret Thatcher'

A last-minute poll released the day before Britain goes to the polls has Theresa May’s Conservatives winning the largest victory since Margaret Thatcher was prime minister.

The poll by ComRes for The Independent has the Tories winning 44% of the General Election vote compared to Labour’s 34%, enough for a majority of 74 seats.

The result is a more favourable one for Conservative supporters than most other polls – a ‘poll of polls’ found Mrs May’s party defeating Labour by an average of seven points.

If correct, ComRes’ poll, a survey of 2,051 adults conducted this week, would give the Conservatives 362 seats, an increase of 31 on their current majority.

Labour would lose 20 seats and be left with 212, while the Liberal Democrats and SNP would also lose seats.
