Six Greater Manchester seats currently held by the Conservatives would fall to Labour if an election were called today according to the latest polling by YouGov
Top of the list is the Altrincham and Sale seat of Sir Graham Brady, chair of the 1922 backbench committee but projects would see both Bury seats fall along with Leigh and Atherton,Bolton North East and Bolton West
The Hazel Grove seat of William Wragg who is standing down would fall to the Lib Dems in the projections but the Tories would hold the Tatton seat Esther Mcvey but just by a 5 point margin
The pollster has released a new MRP survey projecting Labour would win a Tony Blair-style landslide of more than 400 seats nationwide if a general election were held tomorrow.
Some 25 Labour gains are projected in the West Midlands, the highest of any region, followed by 24 in the North West, 23 in the South East, 22 in the East Midlands and 21 in the East of England.
The Conservative would win just 155 seats in the projections based on vote intention data collected and analysed by YouGov from 18,761 British adults interviewed from 7-27 March.
Rishi Sunak is now heading for a worse result than John Major’s 1997 total of 165 seats.
The coming tidal wave projected by this model would sweep away several major Conservative figures. The most prominent casualty could be chancellor Jeremy Hunt, who is currently fractionally behind the Lib Dems in his Godalming and Ash seat.
Science secretary Michelle Donelan is also currently trailing the Lib Dems in her Melksham and Devizes seat, and Michael Gove is just one point ahead in his Surrey Heath seat.
