Labour has taken a two-point lead over the Tories in the first indication that the row over Theresa May’s Chequers compromise has damaged the party. A poll has put the Labour Party two points ahead of Theresa May 's Conservatives , after the Prime Minister was hit by a damaging scandal and resignations over her pension plan . The YouGov poll put Labour on 39 % , unchanged since a week before , while the Conservatives dropped two points to 37 % . In a further blow to May , the proportion of people who think she should resign has risen to 43 % , up from 32 % in November of last year . Just 13 % think the government is handling Brexit well , with 75 % saying it is doing so badly .
