Labour's support among men has slumped to just 16%, a new poll shows.

The number of male voters intending to back Jeremy Corbyn's party at a general election is barely half the 30% who say they will cast their ballots for the Tories, according to the YouGov survey for The Times.

When "don't knows", and people who say they will not vote, are excluded from the figures, Labour's male support reaches 22%, while the number of men backing the Tories soars to 43%.

In the unadjusted figures, 22% of women would vote Labour, just behind the Tories, who score 25%.

And when the field is narrowed to only those who will vote and express a preference, the Conservatives lead Labour by 39% to 33% among women.

Overall, the Tories hold a commanding 14-point lead in the survey, which puts Theresa May's party on 41%, with Labour trailing on 27%, Ukip on 11%, the Lib Dems on 10%, and others on 11%.

When asked who would make the best prime minister, 47% said Mrs May compared with 16% backing Mr Corbyn.
