Bookies are predicting a major political overhaul in Birmingham - with the Conservatives predicted to take THREE seats from Labour in the General Election .

Birmingham was Labour-dominated before Theresa May called the June 8 General Election – but bookmakers say that is going to change.

Paddy Power is putting Conservative candidates as favourite in three swing seats – Edgbaston, Erdington and Northfield.

It would be a blow to Labour and Jeremy Corbyn as the party presently holds all but one of them .

If the bookmaker is right – and they often aren’t when it comes to political odds – the landscape would be very different in Birmingham.

It would leave Labour with just six seats and the Conservatives with four, with Andrew Mitchell heavily backed to retain the Sutton Coldfield constituency.

The Edgbaston seat – presently held by Labour – is 1/7 to be taken by the Tories – so a £7 bet returns just £1 it is considered so likely.

After Brexit champion Gisela Stuart stood down from the seat, Labour candidate Preet Gill is 4/1 against to pick up a win.

Perhaps even more surprisingly, the Tories are odds on to take Erdington.

While Jack Dromey, who was previously the MP in Erdington, is a 7/4 shot, his Tory opponent Robert Alden is 1/3.

Labour is also predicted to lose Northfield, with Richard Burden 2/1 against to remain in place. His Tory rival is 4/11 against to take the seat.

The one crumb of comfort it can take from bookmakers is in Selly Oak. Labour’s Steve McCabe is under pressure, he is odds on to remain in his seat.

Jess Phillips is also predicted to hold onto her seat in Yardley. While former Yardley MP Lib Dem John Hemmings is challenging her, he is 6/4 against with Paddy Power while Mrs Phillips is 1/2 on.

The one Tory in Birmingham is the most certain to retain his seat, according to Paddy Power. Andrew Mitchell is 1/500 to remain in place in Sutton Coldfield.
