  • Parliament dissolved, prompting all MPs to seek re-election.
  • Labour leads by 20 points, promising 'change' while Conservatives focus on 'security'.
  • Sunak's campaign launch marred by missteps and internal party dissent.
  • Significant number of Conservative MPs, including key figures, are not standing for re-election.
  • Reform Party, led by Nigel Farage, gains traction as a right-wing alternative.
