The latest projection would see Labour win the new seats of Carlisle, Penrith and the Solway and Whitehaven and Workington following boundary changes in Cumbria.
Labour are comfortably ahead in the polls and the latest figures suggest the party could win by a 1997 style landslide.
Labour haven’t won in Carlisle since 2010 and haven’t won a general election in almost 20 years and Labour candidate, Julie Minns said she recognised the ‘challenge’ that lies ahead.
The poll would see Labour win 435 out of 650 seats in the House of Commons with a majority of 220 over the Conservatives.
