The Tory heavyweights projected to lose their seats in election wipeout
Tuesday, 2 July 2024 The general election exit poll has painted a picture of electoral implosion for the Tories with many cabinet ministers heading for their own "Portillo Moment" - the shock loss of their seats.
Britain's main opposition Labour party is set to sweep to a "landslide" election win, analysts say, after exit polls predicted the right-wing Conservatives scored a record low number of seats in an end to 14 years of Tory rule.
The Conservatives are pushing for the UK to leave the ECHR, claiming it is limiting the government’s abilities to control borders. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp says the government should be able to do “what the public want”.

The Tories have criticised the government for blaming good weather conditions for record crossings over the weekend. More than 1,100 migrants arrived in the UK after crossing the English Channel on Saturday, the highest number recorded on a single day so far in 2025. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said it is a "pathetic attempt to blame the weather" for the fact they have "lost control of our borders". Report by Kennedyl.

The Conservative Party has warned the government not to sacrifice the UK’s fishing industry in its new deal with the European Union. Shadow Scottish Secretary Andrew Bowie said the opposition would scrutinise the agreement closely, amid concerns it could hand too many concessions to Brussels. Report by Covellm.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp calls for a "binding annual cap on legal migration", describing Labour's plans on immigration as "a little tweak" which will have "very little impact".

The shadow business secretary says the UK-US trade agreement is "not historic", adding it leaves "the vast majority of the economy exposed to 10% tariffs". Andrew Griffith adds the government, "shouldn't really be sort of high fiving themselves for merely leaving tariffs that are higher level than they were two months ago". Report by Brooksl.
