The shift in the polls is mainly down to widespread disapproval at the Tories’ social care restructuring that was announced in their manifesto. The policy says elderly people needing care at home would have to meet the costs but could keep £100,000 after the bill is deducted from their estate.

There were ominous rumblings for Mrs May in the right-wing press. The Sun asked on Friday: “Good deal or an Alz tax?” The Daily Mail reported a “backlash as social care shake-up is branded a dementia tax”. Conservative Think Tank the Bow Group said the plan amounted to an inheritance tax of 100 per cent on a £100,000 threshold for anyone needing complex care. He said the “anger will be horrendous” in Tory-dominated areas.

Sea change or just a bad weekend for the Tories?
