The Tories poll ratings for both a general election and and an EU poll have collapsed since she secured a second Brexit extension which could put our EU exit back until October.

And Nigel Farage's party has taken huge chunks out of their vote, and are on track to WIN the EU poll, one bombshell prediction showed.

Separate analysis showed that only a third of Tories see the party as being pro-Brexit, and even more people see them as being anti-Brexit.

Despite Theresa May promising since she took office to respect the result of the referendum, it seems the Remaienrs in her party have confused her message.

But the numbers don't look much better for Labour either, the research revealed.

Jeremy Corbyn is set to hold onto just half of the voters who backed him in 2017 at next months EU Parliament vote.

Local council elections will take place on Thursday, and the Tories are expected to lose hundreds of seats as voters punish them for failing to leave the EU.

But the Brexit Party aren't standing then which could see thousands of voters stay home instead out of frustration.

And Remainer parties the Liberal Democrats and Change UK appear to be failing to get their anti-Brexit message across.

Today sources raised hopes that a deal could be on the cards with Labour in the coming days.

And ministers made it clear that they were prepared to continue talks for another week - but then a decision must be made on holding another vote on the deal.
