Seats held by the Labour Party for decades are set to turn blue on December 12 as voters back Boris Johnson to get Brexit done. A YouGov poll, released on Wednesday night via The Times, predicted the Tories would secure a majority of 359 - a 41 seat increase on the 318 seats they won in 2017.

In terms of the Labour party, the polling data is predicting that Jeremy Corbyn's party will suffer a fall of 51 seats and only win 211 in next month's election. The Times reported that the seat-by-seat analysis was based on more than 100,000 interviews conducted over seven days. Such is the poor performance for Labour that it would be the party's second-worst post war defeat with Mr Corbyn only winning two more seats than Michael Foot did in 1983. The polling data also indicates the Lib Dems only stand to win 13 seats, just one more than they did in 2017. The SNP, however, have been predicted to win 43, an increase of eight, while the Brexit party will fail to send any representatives to Westminster.

Due to the blue wave sweeping across the country, the Labour party is predicted to lose high profile MPs such as Dennis Skinner in Bolsover and Caroline Flint in Don Valley, despite both being eurosceptics. According to YouGov, the Tories are predicted to make 47 gains across the country with all but two (North Norfolk and Penistone and Stocksbridge) coming from the Opposition. Moreover, due to Mr Johnson's clear Brexit stance, the party is expected to see a vast swing in Leave constituencies. As represented in West Bromwich East, the party is apparently set to overturn a 7,713 majority and in the Don Valley they are expected to overturn a majority of 5,169.

As many have speculated, the Labour party is expected to lose seats in the Midlands including seats such as Dudley North, once held by Ian Austin who has now stood down and Bolsover, held by long-term labour MP, Dennis Skinner. In terms of Lib Dem success, despite the party drafting in high-profile MPs such as Lucianna Berger and Chuka Umunna, both are not expected to win their new seats. Although the data is still a prediction and is not completely accurate, during the 2017 election, YouGov's constituency by constituency poll predicted an election result that was very close to the end result. In 2017, the poll predicted 302 seats for the Tories and 269 Labour. DON'T MISS Tories point out SIX reasons Corbyn’s NHS document claims are ‘lies' [Latest]

The two parties finished on 318 seats and 262 respectively in what marked a 30 seat gain for the Opposition despite many predicting a landslide victory for the Tories when Theresa May called the election. Crucially, the pollster also predicted a Tory minority Government which turned out to be the case and therefore forced Mrs May to come to an agreement with the DUP in order to prop up her party. Despite the release of the poll, YouGov employee Chris Curtis warned the poll asw not predicting the future but merely reflecting what the data currently shows. He said: "Please please do remember this.

"We are not trying to predict the future, we are just looking at the best data we have and using it to work out where things currently stand." The release of the data comes as Dominic Cummings wrote in his blog on Wednesday that Brexit supporters must vote for Boris Johnson to ensure Brexit is delivered. Mr Cummings warned that despite the results of certain polls, the situation is much tighter than it may seem. He said: "You will see many polls in the coming days.
