Did not realise that Diane Abbott had a chastity belt, or even needed one.

The Tories have not lost any traction with over 65s. These people count as they vote en masse.

Labour has gained traction with 18-24 year olds. These people are regarded as unreliable voters.
I'm beginning to think that the only reason the polls are changing is that they are weighting answers from groups differently. One week they think that 20% of young people will actually vote, the next week they think it'll be 30%.

The raw answers to the poll questions probably haven't changed. It's all a marketing job by the polling companies to sell their product.

The Conservatives have polled 43-46% on ALL polls as recently as yesterday. Any poll that says otherwise is just an attention seeking fake news shill. Their majority will be extended but TM has been poor and needs a word with herself.

Would we regard the very recent local election results as a more accurate barometer of public opinion?

They are usually used by people to give the Govt a bloody nose.

Given that elections are generally considered the only "accurate" reflection, then yes we could base the likely outcome on the last local election results. As Jockman says usually local elections (and by-elections) are used to give the the government of the day the proverbial "bloody nose".

However we need to factor in the stumbles TM has made during the last two weeks, even given a more negative bias to account for the stumbles the results should still have the Conservatives winning a clear majority.

However I am still stting myself.

The perils of working your notice. I made a thing while bored today.



Because I'm a nice guy I'll even let you make your own.

Corbyn was poor, but apparently some bloke in Wigan just placed 50p on a labour victory at Ladbrookes and as a result the polls are predicting the Tories to get less seats than the greens.

May forecast to concede and resign by tea time.

Am I doing this right, Yipster?
LOL

Corbyn just let a cat out of the bag in the BBC election debate. On immigration, he just said he would manage immigration and allow family reunion.

In other words, any immigrants here now would be able to bring the rest of their family over.

In other words, unmanaged 'open door' immigration.

Importing poverty is a Labour policy for a reason!

That was in essence on the front page of the Daily Mail today.

Watching BBC News and see his mob took over the road outside, with footage of him being cheered and Rudd being booed like it's some sort of pantomime.

What have the Tories been "importing" during their seven latest years of power/power sharing, out of interest? How do the demographics vary wildly, if at all, from what Labour "imported" between 1997 - 2010?

The Corbynite far left in full howl, most edifying. Their 'leader' deserves them; if only he could get Labour's MPs onside as opposed to 'who the ferk has yet to resign and who else still has a pulse' which are the current criteria for populating his shadow cabinet.

Maybe the morning newspapers will advise on the spittle quotient this time.
