Sunak Top Of Tactical Voting Hit List To Wipe Out Tories

The centre-left campaign group, which was set up to stop Brexit, has identified other prominent targets on the list including leadership hopefuls Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman and Penny Mordaunt, along with home secretary James Cleverly, former prime minister Liz Truss and former home secretary Priti Patel.

The hit list comes after MRP polling over the weekend suggested the Conservatives could end up with a historic low number of seats, a mere 72.

Best for Britain is making recommendations in 451 seats, backing 370 for Labour, 69 for the Lib Dems, seven for the SNP, three for the Greens and two for Plaid Cymru. The other seats in England, Wales and Scotland have Labour or Lib Dem incumbents where there is unlikely to be any contest. Meanwhile, they are asking people not to vote DUP or TUV in Northern Ireland.
