British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservative Party has taken a four point lead over Labour according to a poll published in the Times newspaper, suggesting a row over anti-Semitism is damaging the opposition party’s appeal.
The YouGov poll published on Friday showed that 39 per cent of those asked said they would vote for the Conservatives, a gain of one point for May’s party compared to last week when the pair were level.
