Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has now equalled his largest-ever gap between Labour and the Tories in the polls.
Labour Reaches New Heights
The latest poll figures show that the Labour Party is on the verge of a record lead over the Tories.
Tory Scandals on Rise
Since the election began, the Conservative Party has been involved in a new round of controversies and scandals almost every week.
Voters Switching Allegiance
As a result, more voters are moving to Labour or the new right-wing rival, Reform UK, with this election now looking to reach record heights.
Sunak’s Woes Continue
A recent poll has shown the extent of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s woes after another week of controversy.
Equalling Record Heights
An Opinium survey has shown that Labour’s lead equates to record heights for the Party’s leader, Sir Keir Starmer.
Labour’s Lead Reaches Record
The Labour Party sits at an unchanged score of 40%, while the Conservatives are now down to just 20%.
Lizz Truss Record Equalled
The 20-point lead is the largest gap in the polls that Sir Keir Starmer has reached since Liz Truss was Prime Minister.
Sunak Equals Truss’s Low Reputation
According to the poll’s statistics, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Party have made enough mistakes to be considered one of the worst Prime Ministers in recent times.
Latest Tory Scandal
In the week before the Opinium survey, Sunak’s Party made the headlines after several of its staff were found making bets on the election date.
Sunak’s Betting Woes
Four Tory Party members, including Sunak’s security team members, have been accused of betting on the July 4 election date.

One man working for the Metropolitan Police’s RaSP unit has been arrested, while Sunak issued a warning to all Tory Party members found guilty.
Sunak’s Warning to Guilty Members
Sunak promised that anyone guilty of betting on the election date would be “booted out of the Conservative Party.”
Prime Minister Yet to Take Action
Tory officials Craig Williams and Laura Saunders have already admitted they betted on the date, although the Prime Minister has not yet taken action.
Sunak’s Lack of Action
This lack of action is what bring Sunak’s scrutiny to the table, similar to when a Tory Party donor was not reprimanded for his racist and violent comments towards Labour politician Diane Abbott.
D-Day Hiccup
Rishi Sunak’s decision not to attend the full ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day in France has also drawn intense criticism from the public.
A Flurry of Gaffes
As soon as he’s shaken off one load of criticism, another waits to greet the Prime Minister, resulting in multiple parties taking advantage.

One Party that has benefited greatly from Sunak’s mistakes is Reform UK, led by former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage.
Reform Creeping Up Behind
In this latest poll, Reform’s tally has gone up to 16% after previously being on just 14%, likely due to the change in leadership combined with Sunak’s mistakes.
Reform Looking to Overtake
Sunak must now concentrate on keeping distance between Reform and the Tories, as one more slip-up could result in an embarrassing overtake on the cards.
Starmer’s Eyes on Premiership
For Labour, things are looking breezy at the top. Sir Starmer will be hoping that no major controversies come his way, as the Party is famous for losing a lead at the last hurdle.
