Poll Suggests Robert Jenrick Could Threaten Labour's Majority

A new poll indicates that Robert Jenrick, as Tory leader, might lead the Conservatives to gain more seats than rival Kemi Badenoch, potentially resulting in a hung parliament.

  • Robert Jenrick could win 50 additional seats for the Conservatives, compared to 30 seats under Kemi Badenoch, according to a poll by Electoral Calculus.
  • If Jenrick leads, Labour's majority would be reduced to a hung parliament, while Badenoch would leave Labour with a 14-seat majority.
  • The Conservative leadership race between Jenrick and Badenoch is closely contested, with Tory members voting until October 31.
  • Jenrick's campaign focuses on immigration reform and cutting taxes, while Badenoch emphasizes returning to core Conservative principles.
  • Both candidates are set to participate in televised debates, with Jenrick favoring a public-facing campaign and Badenoch opting for grassroots engagement.
