Corbyn is less fancied at 5/2, while the leader of the Liberal Democrats Jo Swinson, who earlier this month made the audacious claim that she was “Britain’s next Prime Minister'', is an outsider with odds of 33/1.

According to bookmakers, the most likely outcome of the General Election is a Conservative majority with odds currently floating at 1/2.

SNP and the Conservatives are both rated at Evens to win Gordon suggesting that competing candidates will be in for a nail biter in the early hours of December 13.
