The Conservatives are on track to lose 77 seats in the next general election, according to a regression poll by Find Out Now and Electoral Calculus.

A disastrous November saw the party caught in a sleaze scandal that ate into a healthy poll lead that has endured since the 2019 election.

Boris Johnson and the leader of the house, Jacob Rees-Mogg, ripped up the Commons rule book to save one of their colleagues, Owen Paterson at the start of the month.

The botched handling of the affair thrust how much time and money MPs raise from second jobs back into the spotlight, along with scrutiny of second home arrangements.

According to new polling involving over 10,200 respondents, both scandals have hit the Tory Party hard.

Using regression techniques, predictions show that they are on track to lose 77 seats in the next election, with Labour gaining 68.

This gives an estimated Conservative lead over Labour of only 1 per cent which means they would lose their majority.

The prediction is down from 4 per cent from a similar poll for the Telegraph in September, and significantly down from 13 per cent in May.

Some notable Conservative MPs in danger of losing their seats include Iain Duncan Smith (Chingford and Woodford Green), Theresa Villiers (Chipping Barnet), Graham Brady (Altrincham and Sale West) and Steve Baker (Wycombe).

Martin Baxter, CEO of Electoral Calculus, said: “Our latest poll with Find Out Now shows the Conservatives are not doing well with the public.

“Labour is now about equal in popularity and likely to win nearly as many seats if there were a sudden election. Given the parliamentary arithmetic, it could be more likely for Keir Starmer to be Prime Minister.

“That’s a big change since Labour’s relatively poor performance at the local elections earlier this year.”
