In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Boris Johnson pledged a crackdown in sentencing claiming that the system was “too weak” on its handling of the worst offenders. Public concerns surrounding sentencing have been at an all time high as of late following a series of high profile crimes committed by criminals released too early. Earlier this month it emerged that the London Bridge Killer, Usman Khan only served half of his intended 16 year sentence after he became eligible for automatic release without any parole board assessment of his continuing threat to the public. This week also saw the release of serial rapist Joseph McCann, who once released went on to abduct rape and assault 11 victims over just 15 days. The promises for changes to the system come as the Conservative Party is forecast to secure a slim majority of just 28 seats in Thursday’s general election. YouGov’s latest poll sees Mr Johnson’s party dramatically cut their lead in front of Labour by just nine points. The Tories are forecast to win 339 seats out of 650 in the general election - down from 359 in the last poll but up from 317 in the 2017 general election. This would still be the party's best performance since 1987. The Labour Party is on track to lose 31 seats and end with a total of 231 - putting the party on track to see its worst performance since 1983. The poll also predicts that the Liberal Democrats would outperform their 2017 showing by three seats securing 15, also predicting a gain of 6 seats for the SNP. YouGov Political Research Manager Chris Curtis said: “Our latest and final poll shows that a small Conservative majority is likely, with the Tories taking 22 more seats than in 2017 and Labour losing 31. “This would be the best and worst results respectively for each party since the 80s. “But the margins are extremely tight and small swings in a small number of seats, perhaps from tactical voting and a continuation of Labour’s recent upward trend, means we can’t currently rule out a hung parliament. “As things currently stand there are 85 seats with a margin of error of five percent or less.” For the last week, YouGov polled over 100,000 people on their voting intentions but did not rule out the chances of a hung parliament. The MRP poll is much larger than YouGov's usual polls, but the firm said the samples in each of the 632 Parliamentary constituencies are too small (on average, only 150 voters per constituency this week) to produce reliable estimates if we analysed the data as constituency polls. Therefore in order to calculate the estimates for each constituency, YouGov used a technique called Multilevel Regression and Post-stratification (MRP). The closely-watched forecast
