DESPAIR erupted in the Tory camp today as ministers admitted defeat at a projected Labour landslide. 

Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride told GB News that Labour is heading for an “extraordinary landslide on a scale that has probably never, ever been seen in this country before.”

In a final lap of media interviews before polls open, he told Sky News: “It appears, if the polls are right, that we’re heading towards the largest majority that this country has ever seen, much greater than even 1997’s landslide.”
