British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservative Party has a 14 percentage point lead over the main opposition Labour Party ahead of a June 8 election, according to an ICM opinion poll published in the Sun newspaper on Sunday.

The poll put the Conservatives on 46 % and Labour on 32 %, little changed from the previous ICM poll on May 22 which put the Conservatives on 47 % and Labour on 33 %.

Other polls published since Monday's suicide attack in Manchester have shown Ms. May’s lead narrowing.

ICM said support for the Liberal Democrats was at 8 % and the UK Indepdence Party at 5 %.
