There's 9 weeks to go? Labour has varied between 17 points behind and 2. Around 10-11% national is the cut off where 'statistically' it becomes to close to call. Add 2-3% for the candidate and no it is anything but a forgone conclusion.
You have obviously not had the advantage of reading about this in a previous discussion. To avoid costly by elections the way forward is to have it at the next election which has the advantage of a higher turnout. Bare in mind i will not be taking any allowances saving the ratepayer money.
