Jeremy Corbyn is set to be booted out of Parliament at the upcoming general election, according to new polling.
The prediction comes from a new “multi-level regression and post-stratification” (MRP) poll, which looks at likely results in individual parliamentary seats, carried out by Ipsos. It has projected a big Labour victory, with Keir Starmer’s party predicted to win 453 seats and have a huge parliamentary majority of 256.
The former Labour Party leader, who has held his north London seat of Islington North since 1983 and is now standing as an independent candidate, is one of those expected to lose to Labour.
The veteran left-winger was prevented from standing as a Labour Party candidate by the party’s governing body the National Executive Committee (NEC).
