General Election: Grant Shapps calls Sky News live on air as poll predicts he'll lose seat

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps phones Sky's Sam Coates live on air but soon hangs up when told a YouGov poll predicts he is set to lose his seat at the election

The poll, carried out for Sky News, suggests that Sir Keir Starmer's party is on course to win 422 seats, beating Tony Blair's 1997 landslide.

Mr Shapps will appear on The Politics Hub with Sophy Ridge from 7pm tonight (Monday).
