An artist has created Conservative Wipeout Bingo cards to pin up at election results parties, with July 4th and the early hours of the next morning expected to be a bruising encounter for Rishi Sunak’s party.
Labour is on course to win more than 450 seats and the biggest majority of any post-war government, according to a poll of almost 20,000 people.
The poll by Ipsos, published on Tuesday, estimated Labour would win 43 per cent of the vote and secure 453 seats, giving it a majority of 256 and reducing the Conservatives to just 115 seats.
That would be the Tories’ worst result ever, exceeding the previous record of 156 seats in 1906, and mean senior figures such as Grant Shapps, Penny Mordaunt, Gillian Keegan, Johnny Mercer and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg losing their seats.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt faces a close battle in his Surrey constituency of Godalming and Ash, while the poll has cabinet ministers James Cleverly and Kemi Badenoch clinging on.
That result could be even worse for the Conservatives, with Ipsos estimating a lower range of just 99 seats for the party that won a commanding 80-seat majority five years ago.
It has prompted artist Chris Barker to produce Conservative Wipeout Bingo cards for people to use on election night – and he’s had quite a response so far!
