The exclusive survey for the Evening Standard revealed nearly three in 10 voters say they may still change their mind, but even if they did the findings suggest it would not stop a Labour victory. The poll showed Labour falling five points but still with an 18-point lead over the Conservatives, according to fieldwork which ended last night.
Labour was on 37 per cent, down five points on last week. The Tories were unchanged on 19 per cent, the lowest share of the vote recorded by Ipsos since the late Seventies for the party.
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK was on 15 per cent, gnawing into the Tory vote, having surged after his U-turn to take over as party leader rather than head to America to campaign for Donald Trump. The Liberal Democrats were on 11 per cent, unchanged, and Green Party nine per cent, up two points.
Sir Keir, who went with his wife Victoria early this morning to vote at a polling station in Willingham Close in the Holborn and St Pancras constituency, has seen a big drop in Britons who believe he would make the most capable Prime Minister, on 36 per cent, down from 46 per cent last week. But he still had a 15-point lead over Rishi Sunak, who was stuck on 21 per cent.

Has this legend of the London restaurant scene lost its cool?
Once upon a time —not so long ago, less than a decade — being a D&D restaurant meant something. Back then, Le Pont de la Tour and Coq d’ Argent were governed by swathes of the most moneyed City regulars; Sartoria offered a hangout on Savile Row as stylish as any of its neighbouring tailors; and Quaglino’s, until recently, was the place mere mortals were most likely to bump into Prince Harry or Mick Jagger.
