He must win over 40 per cent of the pro-NHS group who want a leader proud to be British, according to J.L. Partners.
Data scientist Callum Hunter said: “The electorate is still quite conservative, with a small ‘c’, but they have abandoned the Conservative Party in their droves.

“It will be a tough job to reconcile these two positions, if they get into government.”
Meanwhile former Tory MP Mark Logan today declared he will support Labour after stepping down in Bolton North.
