Sir Keir Starmer could be heading to Downing Street with a majority of 194 seats, bigger than what Tony Blair achieved in 1997, according to the first polling projection by YouGov of the campaign.

The projection shows a historic Labour landslide, with the party getting the highest number of seats of any party at an election in history.

At the same time, the Tories are trying to boost ratings by talking about culture wars while Labour is talking about real wars in terms of what they would do for defence. And Nigel Farage has announced he’s standing for Reform UK.

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Patterson talks to Sky’s chief political correspondent Jon Craig about the poll and today’s developments, and to Scarlett Maguire, director of the polling organisation JL Partners.
