UK PM May’s Conservatives maintain 14-point lead over Labour — ICM poll

LONDON: British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservative Party has a 14 percentage point lead over the main opposition Labour Party ahead of a June 8 election, according to an ICM opinion poll published in the Sun newspaper on Sunday.

The poll put the Conservatives on 46 per cent and Labour on 32 per cent, little changed from the previous ICM poll on May 22 which put the Conservatives on 47 per cent and Labour on 33 per cent.

Other polls published since Monday’s suicide attack in Manchester have shown May’s lead narrowing.

ICM said support for the Liberal Democrats was at 8 per cent and the UK Independence Party at 5 per cent.
