Labour Party in 13% lead over Tories

Conservative support has fallen to 30 per cent, a drop of five points in ten days and only one point ahead of the Tories’ lowest score since the 2010 Election.

Ed Miliband’s Labour has stretched its lead to 13 points on 43 per cent, with Nick Clegg’s Lib Dems scoring eight points, a humiliating four points behind the anti-EU UKIP Party, which has 12, according to a Mail on Sunday poll.

Former Minister Lord Tebbit expressed his anger at todays’ news.

Writing in The Observer, Lord Tebbit - a cabinet minister in Margaret Thatcher's government - said: 'This dog of a coalition government has let itself be given a bad name and now anybody can beat it.

'It has let itself be called a government of unfeeling toffs. Past governments have had far more real Tory toffs: prime ministers Alec Douglas-Home and Harold Macmillan, or even in Thatcher's day, Whitelaw, Soames, Hailsham, Carrington, Gowrie, Joseph, Avon, Trenchard and plenty more, without incurring similar abuse.'

He added: 'The abiding sin of the government is not that some ministers are rich, but that it seems unable to manage its affairs competently.'
