«Breaking News» Labour open up four-point lead in opinion polls after Brexit drama

The Conservatives have lost ground to Labour in the polls after a chaotic week at Westminster.

Two surveys carried out at the height of the Tory civil war over Brexit saw the Conservatives fall between three and four points behind Jeremy Corbyn's party.

In one poll the Conservatives lost 10 points among Leave voters, reflecting deep divisions among Brexiteers about the PM's withdrawal agreement. 

The draft deal this week prompted a five-hour Cabinet marathon, a series of resignations and an open plot to topple Mrs May as party leader.  

Theresa May, pictured at Downing Street on Thursday, has seen her party lose ground in the opinion polls after a turbulent week at Westminster 

A ComRes poll for the Sunday Mirror and Sunday Express saw the Tories leak three points, falling from 39 per cent to 36 per cent since September. 

Labour remained on 40 per cent, increasing their lead from one percentage point to four.  

Meanwhile an Opinium poll saw Mrs May's divided party drop five points from 41 per cent to 36 per cent, with Labour overtaking them from 37 per cent to 39 per cent compared to October.

The same poll saw the Tories lose 10 points among Leave voters after a deal with Brussels was agreed.

Both polls surveyed just over 2,000 people on Wednesday and Thursday, days marked by resignations and talk of confidence votes over Mrs May's leadership. 

Jacob Rees-Mogg was among the Tory rebels to call for a confidence vote after the 585-page Brexit agreement was published.  

Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab quit the Cabinet in protest while Work and Pensions Secretary Esther McVey also stood down. 

Brexiteers Andrea Leadsom and Michael Gove have stayed on in the Cabinet but will push for a rewrite of the Irish backstop part of the deal.   

The Government was thrown into chaos this week as resignations and a plot to topple the PM rocked the Conservatives. Pictured: The sun sets behind the Palace of Westminster today 

But Mrs May has vowed to fight on, saying the plotters' plans did not address the Irish border issue. 

Mr Corbyn has faced calls from grassroots Labour members to back a second referendum but the party leadership has so far preferred to push for a new election.  

Adam Drummond, Opinium's head of political polling, said: 'With the country almost as divided as on referendum day two-and-a-half years ago, it's no surprise that we find ourselves in a messy situation now that the actual form of Brexit has been announced.

'The backlash against the deal, similar to that against Chequers in July, has seen Leavers start to flee the Conservatives, giving the Tories their lowest vote share since Theresa May became Prime Minister.

'There are two bits of good news for Theresa May though. The first is that Jeremy Corbyn is seen to have responded to Brexit even more poorly than the PM has.

'The second is that while her deal is nobody's first choice, it is almost everybody's second choice.

Jeremy Corbyn, pictured at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, has seen his party take a four-point lead in one opinion poll. He has so far not backed calls for a second referendum 

'Her challenge is that Remainers and Leavers both believe that their ideal outcome is still on the table and the best way of achieving it is to vote down her deal and take their chances.'

Opinium's poll found just a fifth (21 per cent) feel Mrs May's deal should be accepted, with almost a quarter (24 per cent) saying Britain should leave without a deal.   

More than half the respondents (52 per cent) disapproved of her handling of the negotiations, but a similar number (50 per cent) said they also disapprove of Mr Corbyn's response to Brexit.

There was some backing for Mrs May in the ComRes poll, with almost half of those polled saying she should remain as Prime Minister at least until Britain leaves the European Union, including three quarters of Conservative voters.

There was bad news for some of her possible challengers, with just eight per cent of voters wanting Mr Gove to take over if Mrs May steps down.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt fared little better on 10 per cent, with high profile Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg on 17 per cent.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
