18 favourite reactions to Labour’s 33-point lead in the polls
Liz Truss hasn’t even been prime minister for a month, but she has crashed the pound, almost destroyed pension funds, ruined the mortgage market – not to mention the pork market – and humiliated herself on local radio.
It’s no surprise, therefore, that the results of several polls released on Thursday show the Tories a long way behind Labour.
Some huge polls this evening:
🔴 @YouGov 33 point lead for Labour
🔴 @Survation 21 point lead for Labour
🔴 @DeltapollUK 19 point lead for Labour
🔴 @RedfieldWilton 17 point lead for LabourGives you an idea of the public reaction to the events of the last week…

To really hammer home just how devastating a blow this would be in a general election …
If this poll was repeated at a general election Labour would win a 182 seat majority.
Conservative MPs losing their seats would include Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Iain Duncan Smith, Penny Mordaunt, Steve Baker, Grant Shapps, Andrea Leadsom, Andrea Jenkyns and Dominic Raab. pic.twitter.com/35wx8SRMmX

Usual caveats about isolated polls, etc, but I sense the UK public *may* be trying to tell the government something. https://t.co/J3mgn7uBin

Nothing that taking the top band of tax down to 35% won't fix. https://t.co/1pYqHpEWS9

I imagine Liz Truss will say the multiple poll results showing a Tory wipeout is because of Putin
