London (TIP): British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and 15 of his Cabinet ministers are at risk of losing their seats in a general election “wipeout” in 2024, according to a media report citing a new polling data.
Senior Tory figures – including Prime Minister Sunak, Deputy prime minister Dominic Raab and health secretary Steve Barclay – are all at risk of defeat at the election expected in 2024, according to the polling data shared with The Independent newspapers. Foreign secretary James Cleverly, defence secretary Ben Wallace, business secretary Grant Shapps, Commons leader Penny Mordaunt and environment secretary Therese Coffey could also lose their seats, according to the Focaldata polling for Best for Britain. Only five Cabinet ministers – Jeremy Hunt, Indian-origin Suella Braverman, Michael Gove, Nadhim Zawawi and Kemi Badenoch – would cling on after the 2024 election, according to the poll. A new analysis shared with The Independent on 10 crucial “bellwether” seats – those who have voted consistently with the winning party in recent decades – shows that Labour is on course to take all 10.
