Betting sites are now showing the biggest odds to date on the potential outcome as punters confidence drops to just 31% translating to betting odds of 9/4 against the Conservative's strengthening their position to 66% confidence and odds on at 1/2

Next Prime Minister
Remember Gavin Williamson? The dumped secretary for Education was once a 20/1 shot to become the next prime minister after Boris Johnson.
Rishi Sunak remains the favourite at 4.7 odds, while Starmer has been as low as 6/4 in the betting at times but now punters are able to get almost 4/1 and the same price as Sunak.
It leaves a head to head match between Rishi Sunak and Starmer as pretty much a 50-50 race, with Liz Truss and the recently demoted Dominic Raab trailing in joint 3rd at 12/1
