Twelve of the 26 members of the cabinet who are running for re-election are at risk of losing their seats, according to a YouGov poll commissioned by Sky News.

The survey suggests the United Kingdom is on the cusp of a major redrawing of the political landscape, with Labour on course to win a historic landslide and an enormous 194-seat majority.

But delving deeper into the numbers, it appears several high profile Conservative MPs will lose their seats, if the election does indeed end up being the worst Tory rout since 1906.

“These are some of the biggest names in our politics,” deputy political editor Sam Coates said as he presented the findings on Sky News.

“Every single one of these, right now, is projected on course to lose at the general election.”

He added: “Tory MPs are getting more and more nervous by the day.”
