It found Labour on 59% in the city, the Tories on 22% and the Liberal Democrats on 13%.

However, the poll, based on surveying 6,000 UK adults before calculating constituency level results, does not take into account tactical voting or the popularity of local MPs.

It predicts senior figures - including former prime minister Boris Johnson and Lib Dem leader Ed Davey - would lose their seats, according to the Standard.

While treasury minister Chris Philp risks losing Croydon South and ex-minister Greg Hands would lose in Chelsea and Fulham, it forecast.

The poll also found 46% of people in London are worried about not being able to pay their rent or mortgage; while 60% fear not being able to pay their energy bills.

Almost two thirds (61%) may have to cut back on essentials, and 31% may have to use a foodbank.

And shockingly almost a third (32%) are concerned about being made homeless.

A 38 Degrees spokesperson said: “Under Liz Truss’ leadership, the cost of living crisis is rapidly turning into a cost of living catastrophe.

“According to a new Survation poll commissioned by 38 Degrees, it means the party faces a complete electoral wipeout in London.

“This is not a political game. People’s lives have been thrown into turmoil by the economic sabotage of this government. People are already suffering and millions more are frightened of what comes next.”
