Labour take 14 point lead in London

On Friday we reported that in the latest Guardian/ICM poll, Labour had surged to a 10 point lead in London. Now a poll done by ComRes for ITV News has put Labour even further ahead in London, on 46% to the Tories’ 32%.

This 14 point lead is the product of a 6 point swing from the Conservatives to Labour since 2010. It could mean that Labour will win some key marginal seats off the Tories, such as Ealing Central and Acton, Harrow East, Enfield North and Hendon.

The pollsters also predict the Lib Dems would be set for a total wipeout in London, leaving only MP for Twickenham Vince Cable left standing. This would see the likes of Simon Hughes in Bermondsey and Old Southwark and Lynne Featherstone, in Hornsey and Wood Green lose their seats.

The full set of results read as follows:

Lab 46%, Con 32%, UKIP 9%, Lib Dems 8%, Green 4%
