Public anger over sewage is set to influence voters in many seats that the Liberal Democrats are seeking to win from the Conservatives — including chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s Surrey constituency.

Sensing an electoral opportunity, the Lib Dems have seized on growing fury over the continued contamination of national coastlines, placing the issue at the heart of their campaign to win over disaffected Tory voters.

It is “an incredibly potent example of how the government has failed, how the people at the wheel are crashing the car”, said Robert Ford, a professor of political science at the University of Manchester.
