Still 10 points shy of their all time record (Gallup in early 1995)

Tories would be down to three seats (yes, 3) on the YouGov figures with a uniform swing. And that's without taking tactical voting into account. Labour majority of 480 without any significant gains in Scotland.

I’m just astonished at how fast the collapse has happened for the Tories. There’s not even an event like Black Wednesday to pin it on — just Truss’s utter incompetence as PM.

It’s such an absurd lead that if you plug the numbers into a seat predicting tool, it basically breaks the system, and produces insane maps that look like this:

Yesterday did have some definite vibes of that Wednesday 30 years earlier tbf.

And if polling like this causes their remaining media support to jump ship, the previous Tory all time low - 17% in mid-2019 - might well be within reach. The insane "libertarian" type rightism espoused by the Britannia Unchained gang maybe doesn't have the support of even 10% of voters.

Truss keeps telling us she wants to be Thatcher, but maybe she’s been a Kim Campbell tribute act all along.

God Truss is having an awful media round on regional radio this morning.

There has been a reason she has been kept off the radio. It’s like Nicola Murray.

Hey, that's unfair to Nicola.

Even though I doubt Labour actually wins by 33 points, it is so bad now that even some normally safe Tory seats would be in danger.  I cannot see how she stays on as PM or Kwarteng as chancellor exchequer.  This is now a fight for survival.

Tell you what, I haven't seen this comparison made as much but Starmer is actually a damn good fit for Chretien in several respects. I can even see the Tories trying the same sort of desperate personal attack on him in a GE campaign, and it backfiring similarly horribly.

This statement is now a compliment for Starmer.
