The six-week election campaign is now underway.
The Labour party are huge favourites to win the most seats at the General Election on July 4th, confirmed yesterday by incumbent Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Labour are nearly 89% likely to win the most seats even at the best price available of 1/8 on LiveScoreBet through oddschecker.
The same bet is as short as 1/40 with several other leading UK bookmakers.
However, the Conservatives are given at least a fighting 16% chance according to their 5/1 odds with LiveScoreBet. The general price quoted across the oddschecker grid is 10/1 (9% chance), while the longest price is 12/1 on Paddy Power.
The six-week election campaign, which began this morning, is likely to see the Conservative party lead with their flagship policy on countering illegal migration.
However, Sunak has said today that no asylum seekers will be sent to Rwanda before the election under the government's deportation scheme.
Sunak started his day in Derbyshire as he embarks on a packed agenda to win back lost voters. If he is to have any chance, he needs to make a strong start to his campaign.
Given that he got to choose when the election was held, he should enjoy a head start when it comes to planning the first few days of the campaign.
Campaigning in Kent this morning, Labour leader Keir Starmer has been saying it's "time to turn the page" and to "end the chaos".
