Watch: Theresa May is ringing doorbells in Scotland to drum up support for Tories

Theresa May has left a message on a doorbell camera while out canvassing in Scotland.

Footage captures the former prime minister at the doorstep of a property on a residential road in the constituency of Perth and Kinross-shire.

Wearing a light blue scarf and navy blazer, Mrs May is seen greeting residents who walk by.

One calls out to her “nice to see you Theresa”, to which she responds: “Nice to see you”, before adding: “It would be even nicer if you support Luke”.

After ringing the doorbell and receiving no response, Mrs May looks towards the camera on the front door and says: “My name is Theresa May, and I am here supporting Luke Graham, the Conservative candidate for the general election on July 4.

“As you are not in, I’ll pop a leaflet through your door.”

Luke Graham is the Conservative candidate in Perth and Kinross-shire.

Mr Graham was most recently the Conservative MP for Ochil and South Perthshire and left the Commons in November 2019.

Ochil and South Perthshire is a former constituency that ceased to exist following a boundary change in 2024.

It comes as Labour’s vote share has fallen to its lowest level in more than two years ahead of the general election, new polling shows.

Support for the party has dropped by four percentage points in the space of a week following Sir Keir Starmer’s final head-to-head debate with Rishi Sunak and amid increased scrutiny of his policies.

A poll of 2,092 adults by Savanta for The Telegraph, conducted between Wednesday and Thursday, saw the firm record the lowest Labour support since January 2022 as the gap between Labour and the Conservatives dropped to 17 percentage points.

But with a vote share of 38 per cent – compared to the Tories’ 21 per cent and Reform’s 14 per cent – Labour is on course for a majority of more than 260 seats if the current figures are replicated on Thursday, seat modeller Electoral Calculus predicts.
