The Tories have been warned by Britain’s top pollster they are heading for a potential landslide defeat at the general election, and that this week’s annual party conference risks being a “wake”. In an interview with The Independent, Ms Frazer said “yes” when asked if she would bet this publication £100 her party would be victorious.
However, she declined to bet £1,000, joking: “I’m also in charge of gambling, so I think let’s leave it there.” Michael Gove, the levelling up secretary, also bet £100 that the Conservatives would win next year’s general election, in an interview with the Sun on Sunday newspaper.
