The latest YouGov poll for Westminster voting has the Tories and Labour tied on 40 per cent. This is the worst YouGov poll result for the Conservatives since June 2019 when they were tied with the Brexit Party on 22 per cent. To put Westminster opinion polls into perspective, six months after that poll the Brexit Party failed to pick up a single Westminster seat.
The latest poll suggests a five point Tory lead has been wiped out in the space of a week (see changes below).

Other polling organisations still have the Tories in front with slender leads. On current trends it's likely we'll see Labour overtake the Conservatives in opinion polling in a matter of weeks.
