According to the most recent survey, the Conservative Party is going to lose all of the elections since Rishi Sunak's D-Day error has been publicly chastised by another cabinet minister.

According to a recent survey by Mail on Sunday, Labour is predicted to win a majority of 416 seats in the forthcoming general election, leaving the Tories with just 37 seats.

According to a Deltapoll survey, Sir Keir Starmer's party is at 46% of the vote, while the Conservatives are at 21%. This gives Labour a 25-point lead, and even Rishi Sunak is expected to lose his Yorkshire seat.

It comes as the prime minister is claimed to be despondent over the furious backlash to his decision to skip a D-Day memorial attended by other world leaders.

Transport secretary Mark Harper described Mr Sunak’s decision to miss the 80th anniversary event in Normandy as a “mistake” on Saturday, after his cabinet colleague Penny Mordaunt condemned it as “completely wrong” in a fiery seven-way BBC debate the previous night.

Later on Saturday, Mr Sunak appeared to dodge being questioned by the media after a scheduled press event with the prime minister was cancelled during a campaign visit to a walled garden at Auckland Castle.
