Labour would win 307 seats in a General Election – 19 seats short of a majority – while the Conservative party would claim only 264.
The poll also found that 41 per cent of people think Mrs May should resign, 23 per cent think she should after MPs pass her deal, while 22 per cent think she should stay on as Prime Minister.
A snap general election could be called if May’s deal fails again.

Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan told The Observer: “If we have a general election before Brexit is resolved, it will only make things worse.”

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
