An MP told the Independent that there would be “panic” if the results were poor on Thursday, which is the first chance for voters to vote for Mr Johnson following the Partygate scandal. The election comes as a new poll by the Independent found that more than a quarter (27 per cent) of voters who supported the Tories in the 2019 general election say they are less likely to do it again if Johnson remains leader. A poll by Savanta pollsters found that Labor narrowed its lead over the Tories by two points, compared to a similar poll last month, by 40 percent compared to the Conservatives’ 34. And it showed a sharp drop in Mr Johnson’s personal rating since he became the first incumbent prime minister to be fined for breaking the law, with a favor rating of -28 (33 per cent saying he was doing a good job and 61 per cent doing bad). compared to -19 in the previous month. About 65 percent – including 46 percent of Tory voters – said they should resign if they received more fines or were severely criticized by Sue Gray’s senior public service reporter for Partygate, and 63 percent said they were sorry. of so far was insufficient. Only 28 percent said they were unaware they were breaking the law when attending a Downing Street birthday party, with 63 percent – including 52 percent of Tory voters – saying they were lying. With the Conservatives defending just about 1,200 of the 6,800 seats across England, Scotland and Wales on Thursday, the loss of more than 350 councilors would be considered damaging and 800 would be disastrous for Johnson. Labor is hoping for progress in the so-called Red Wall areas of the Midlands and the North lost to the Tories in the 2019 election and to London boroughs such as Barnett and Wandsworth, but experts admit that their numerical progress will be limited by the fact that did it relatively well the last time most of the positions were claimed in 2018. However, there is a growing focus on the Tories ‘traditionally stable seats in leafy passenger zones, which anxious MEPs are increasingly worried about becoming marginalized due to voters’ aversion to the Johnson regime. A Tory MP told the Independent: “There is no doubt that Partygate will have an impact, with our voters staying home or voting in protest and talking to colleagues, they are the ones in the counties who feel most gloomy about what is coming.

All rights reserved “Their research shows that they could face a big drop in support, while it seems to be able to withstand councils with a larger working-class population.” Conservative election guru Robert Hayward agreed: “The Tories are having their biggest problems in the home counties and in what would be described as upper-middle-class constituencies, with university students – Surrey, Harey, Hare. “It will be, next Thursday, a special difficulty in these areas. “And since the vast majority of MPs in these areas are Tories, it is likely to be of great concern to these people.” Conservative MPs in supposedly secure seats will be “upset” if they lose a significant number of advisers on Thursday night, Lord Hayward said. “It will confirm all the worst fears in the parliamentary party and increase the pressure on Boris Johnson,” he added. This may not translate immediately into more letters of no confidence in the chairman of the 1922 Commission, Sir Graham Brady, who must call for a vote on Mr Johnson’s leadership if requested by 54 Members. While many lawmakers have previously said they suspended the crisis until the May election, there is a sense in Westminster that, with police imposing fines for breach of lockdown laws, the timing of the decision will be delayed until Mrs Gray’s final report. A new poll shows that 27 percent of voters who supported the Tories in the 2019 general election are less likely to do so again if Boris Johnson remains leader.

It faded shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, and the prime minister’s strong response was widely acknowledged, but has returned since he was fined. It is difficult to know where we are until the process is completed. “ Another fan said: “Thursday seems less pivotal than it was a few months ago. “A bad set of results will panic colleagues, but if there is a mixed picture it postpones things to the end result of Partygate’s research, which from what we have seen so far will not be beautiful.” The Liberal Democrats have made no secret of the fact that they see the so-called Blue Wall of the traditional Tory seats – many of which host Brexit-minded Conservatives – as a fruitful hunt in the aftermath of the spectacular by-elections in Chesham & Amersham and North Shropshire. They hope to hire councilors on Thursday in areas ranging from Wimbledon and Richmond in south-west London to passenger areas such as Elmbridge in Surrey or Harpenden in Hertfordshire, and Harrogate in North Yorkshire. Their deputy leader, Daisy Cooper, told the Independent that this week is a time for voters angry at Partygate and the cost-of-life crisis to make their feelings known. Liberal Democrat Vice President Daisy Cooper says the party hopes to win Tory voters in some areas (PA) “This is really the best opportunity for voters to send a message to Boris Johnson and his government, but also to make them listen,” said the St. Albans MP. “I think it’s really, really crucial. “The feeling I get from a lot of people – including former Conservative voters – is that they’re looking at Boris Johnson and his government and they’re just thinking, ‘He’s not on my side.’ They do not talk to me. “I do not share their values and they do not share mine.” “These are people who are often internationalists, they are environmentalists, they are in favor of business, they are in favor of public service. “They look at this government and they see a government that breaks the rules. They see a government that is within them for themselves. “They see a government that adheres to this sense of a rule for them, one for everyone else, and all the while they see their taxes rising and they really start fighting.” Even if the Conservatives fail on Thursday, one factor in today’s poll that will give Mr Johnson hope of maintaining the status quo is the absence of an obvious alternative leader. Risi Sunak fired by voters over Aksata Merti’s wife status that allowed her to pay much less tax (PA Wire) In the wake of his poorly received micro-budget and The Independent’s revelations about his wife’s homelessness and previous US green card issuance, Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s scores fell sharply this month from +12 (48 percent think they did a good job and 36 percent bad) in March to -17 percent now (36 percent good job, 53 percent bad). Although Downing Street’s ethics adviser, Lord Gade, was acquitted of violating the ministerial code, Mr Sunak was not so easily pardoned by voters. 50% said Akshata Murty’s wife’s tax cases were a resignation issue for the chancellor, compared with 35% who said they were not. And 46 percent said they should give up because of the green card, which requires them to pay taxes in the US and commit to settling permanently in the country, compared to 34 percent who said they should not. The numbers that saw him as the best leader dropped from 17 to 9 percent (and from 21 to 10 in Tory voters), downgrading him from a clear leader to one of a group of aspiring contenders such as Liz Tras, Sajid Javid (both supported by 6 percent) and Jeremy Hunt (7 percent), neither of whom has garnered significant support. Although Johnson had only 21 percent support as the best person to be the leader of the Tories, his closest pollster in the poll was “someone else” at 20. The Savanta poll polled 2,231 adults in the UK on April 22-24.
