Sub-headline 1:

The Conservatives have made significant gains in traditional Labour heartlands, according to the latest opinion polls.

The polls, conducted by YouGov and published in The Times, show the Conservatives with a 10-point lead over Labour in Wales and a 7-point lead in the North of England.

This is a significant shift from the last election, when Labour held a comfortable lead in both regions. The results suggest that the Conservatives are making inroads into areas that have traditionally been Labour strongholds.

The polls also show the Conservatives with a narrow lead over Labour in Scotland, which would be a major breakthrough for the party if it were to materialize in the next election.

The results will be seen as a major boost to Conservative leader Boris Johnson, who has been under pressure following a series of scandals.
