The public are deeply unhappy with the government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the Brexit negotiations, a damning new poll suggests. The poll predicts that if a general election were held tomorrow neither the Conservatives nor Labour would win an outright majority. Disturbingly for Boris Johnson, the survey says the Conservatives would lose 81 seats, wiping out the 80-seat majority they won in December 2019. The prime minister is on course to lose his own seat of Uxbridge and Ruislip South, if the insight is accurate. Results in Scotland would see the Scottish National party achieve a near complete sweep, winning 57 of the 59 Scottish seats.
