New photo Labour open up four-point lead in opinion polls after Brexit drama

The Conservatives have lost ground to Labour in the polls after a chaotic week at Westminster.

Two surveys carried out at the height of the Tory civil war over Brexit saw the Conservatives fall between three and four points behind Jeremy Corbyn's party.

In one poll the Conservatives lost 10 points among Leave voters, reflecting deep divisions among Brexiteers about the PM's withdrawal agreement. 

The draft deal this week prompted a five-hour Cabinet marathon, a series of resignations and an open plot to topple Mrs May as party leader.

A ComRes poll for the Sunday Mirror and Sunday Express saw the Tories leak three points, falling from 39 per cent to 36 per cent since September. 

Labour remained on 40 per cent, increasing their lead from one percentage point to four.  

Meanwhile an Opinium poll saw Mrs May's divided party drop five points from 41 per cent to 36 per cent, with Labour overtaking them from 37 per cent to 39 per cent compared to October.

The same poll saw the Tories lose 10 points among Leave voters after a deal with Brussels was agreed.

Both polls surveyed just over 2,000 people on Wednesday and Thursday, days marked by resignations and talk of confidence votes over Mrs May's leadership. 

Jacob Rees-Mogg was among the Tory rebels to call for a confidence vote after the 585-page Brexit agreement was published.  

Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab quit the Cabinet in protest while Work and Pensions Secretary Esther McVey also stood down. 

Brexiteers Andrea Leadsom and Michael Gove have stayed on in the Cabinet but will push for a rewrite of the Irish backstop part of the deal.

But Mrs May has vowed to fight on, saying the plotters' plans did not address the Irish border issue. 

Mr Corbyn has faced calls from grassroots Labour members to back a second referendum but the party leadership has so far preferred to push for a new election.  

Adam Drummond, Opinium's head of political polling, said: 'With the country almost as divided as on referendum day two-and-a-half years ago, it's no surprise that we find ourselves in a messy situation now that the actual form of Brexit has been announced.

'The backlash against the deal, similar to that against Chequers in July, has seen Leavers start to flee the Conservatives, giving the Tories their lowest vote share since Theresa May became Prime Minister.

'There are two bits of good news for Theresa May though. The first is that Jeremy Corbyn is seen to have responded to Brexit even more poorly than the PM has.

'The second is that while her deal is nobody's first choice, it is almost everybody's second choice.

Jeremy Corbyn, pictured at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, has seen his party take a four-point lead in one opinion poll. He has so far not backed calls for a second referendum 

'Her challenge is that Remainers and Leavers both believe that their ideal outcome is still on the table and the best way of achieving it is to vote down her deal and take their chances.'

Opinium's poll found just a fifth (21 per cent) feel Mrs May's deal should be accepted, with almost a quarter (24 per cent) saying Britain should leave without a deal.   

More than half the respondents (52 per cent) disapproved of her handling of the negotiations, but a similar number (50 per cent) said they also disapprove of Mr Corbyn's response to Brexit.

There was some backing for Mrs May in the ComRes poll, with almost half of those polled saying she should remain as Prime Minister at least until Britain leaves the European Union, including three quarters of Conservative voters.

There was bad news for some of her possible challengers, with just eight per cent of voters wanting Mr Gove to take over if Mrs May steps down.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt fared little better on 10 per cent, with high profile Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg on 17 per cent.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
