The next Labour leader will have to reverse an eye-watering 26 point deficit if they are to stand a chance of winning the next general election.

According to the latest Opinium research the Conservatives are polling at 54 per cent as Boris Johnson is lauded for his response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Labour sits on a lowly 28 per cent of the vote, down four points compared to the Tories’ gain of seven.

Westminster voting intention:

CON: 54% (+7)
LAB: 28% (-4)
LDEM: 6% (-1)
GRN: 3% (-1)

Labour leadership race

It comes as the Labour leadership race enters its final stages, with the result expected to be announced on Thursday.

Rebecca Long-Bailey, Lisa Nandy and Sir Keir Starmer are the three remaining candidates, with all three having to pre-record a winning speech to be broadcast once the result has been announced.

Boris Johnson extended thanks to Jeremy Corbyn on his last Prime Minister’s Questions, saying that while “we may not agree on everything… “no one can doubt his sincerity and determination to build a better society”.

Corbyn said that his “voice will not be stilled” when he returns to the backbenches, adding:

Since you are here

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.
