Luke Tryl, from the More in Common think-tank, said: “While it won’t be said openly, electoral logic means it’s almost certain we’ll see a repeat of the informal pact we saw in the Tiverton and Wakefield by-elections with Labour giving the Lib Dems a free run in Dorries old seat while the Lib Dems repay the favour to Labour in Hillingdon. “While Labour seem likely to storm Uxbridge, and the Lib Dems start as favourites in Mid Bedfordshire you’d expect that seat be more of a nail biter as Sunak woos more traditional Tories back to the fold.”

Labour has been substantially ahead of the Conservatives in the polls for months, but Sunak's individual rating has stayed ahead of his party and generally level with opposition leader Keir Starmer.

Luke Tryl, the UK director of the More in Common group, said there was “the potential for quite a large” Labour victory – but cautioned the party should not be complacent because it could merely be “winning by default”.

Luke Tryl, UK director of the More in Common group, cautioned Labour not to be complacent that it would be “winning by default” at the next election, and that support for the party was “quite soft”.

“You’re in a situation where people at the moment are going to Labour by default, not because they love the Labour Party,” he said. He said an overriding theme of focus groups was that people “just want politics to stop”, and the party that wins the next election will be the one that can “best convince people its OK to turn on the six o’clock news and not be worried”.
