“One cabinet minister told The Times: ‘Colleagues are understandably worried about their areas, but some of the predictions are beyond people’s wildest nightmares.’
Another said: “The state has made a fundamental decision overall. Anything about taxes or anything else will be ignored. There’s no way to sort this. You don’t abandon local. But there’s no quick fix Method.
A number of current cabinet ministers will also lose their seats, including Jeremy Hunt and Grant Shapps.
Former home secretary Suella Braverman is also expected to be voted out.
Luke Tryl, executive director of More in Common UK, said: “The fact that this forecast shows the Conservatives barely holding 150 seats, one of the most favorable forecasts ever for the Conservatives, shows just how deep the hole the party finds itself in – — Barely two seats.
“Labour, on the other hand, looks set to inherit a historic majority but remains largely undefined in the eyes of voters.”
Another survival poll suggests the Reform Party’s Nigel Farage could achieve a shock victory in Clacton, with desperate Tories urging Sunak to attack him.
