It could have not been more obvious, 70%, a crazy figure.
Or the earlier article was made up. I mean lets face it so many lies have been written about Corbyn that would be just another to add.

He has no idea - unless he asked him before he died in 1965. It's pretty shocking using your dead grandad for political purposes.

Given Churchill made Farage seem like Polly Toynbee I think he might be as likely to vote leave were he around today.
You seen the latest UKIP video Marty? Full of Spitfires and all sorts. You ok with UKIP using the memory of those brave pilots for political gain?

Especially from the Telegraph- a Tory/Leave supporting paper.

Leavers on here would be rubbishing a similar article about the Leave side if it was published in the Guardian after all.

Once Opinium put the data on their website we should be able to see what the situation is like

kay would not being trying to spin the numbers would she??

Private data for both the Leave and Remain sides suggest that support for Brexit has increased and in some parts of the country is significantly in the lead.

Some parliamentary seats have seen canvass returns showing 70 per cent support for Leave and 30 per cent for Remain, according to the internal data.

That's a two week old story. Things have moved on. Keep up!

Going to be boring tomorrow until 10pm - no polls no campaigning no one allowed to say anything that might influence one way or the other

Noticed tho that the BBC tomorrow night dont have any regional variations - no BBC Scotland Wales or Northern Ireland separate programmes but there are updates from each nation at half past the hour

In the Opinium poll only 61% of 18 -34 yrs old said they would def vote. Will this be enough as most remain are counting on the young vote.

While 55-64 yrs its 85% and 90% or over 65yrs. Which people say these favour leave.

This is what makes me think Brexit will win

I always find it odd that the Tv and Radio stations cannot report a referendum or election on the day yet the newspapers can print front covers telling people how to vote.

I don't check out UKIP videos as much as you so I can't comment.

Using your own dead granddad personally and claiming you know what he would do if he had a vote tomorrow is a totally different ballgame.

Yes, what on earth will we do once the Referendum is over? I know! There's always a Quiz to take part in over in the RT Countdown thread! That'll give you something to do.

Mind you, politics is quite exciting at the moment, and it'll be quite dull when we all get back to normal. I can't see much happening in politics until after the summer recess.

It would be better if newspapers had to follow the same impartiality guidelines as broadcast media.

That's what is different to Scotland. The older voter is solidly leave. The elderly won it for No in Scotland - the youngsters made a lot of noise for yes but didn't turnout in the same numbers.

So it makes this far tougher to call.

The Scottish referendum was an 84.6% turnout- most people of every age group turned out.

I was just thinking this, how boring post Friday will probably be. Or will it? Will the Tories have learnt past lessons and unify against the poor () rather than tear each other apart? I see IDS was calling Cameron a flat out liar earlier, but then who cares about IDS...I doubt Gove, Boris and co do. He's not even a minister. So yes, post Friday probably will be a damp squid..

Oh Friday is when the real games start! lol what ever happens the Tories will never be the same again.

On one hand Cameron and Osborne are out which is just delightful after all the years of lies and spin

then on another the careers of Gove and Johnson are probably over too, at least any chance of Boris becoming PM.

So really for me its a win win. I'm very much looking forward to the Tories ripping themselves apart.

I think the newspapers can get away with it by saying they were published before the polls open at 7am

But older voters were most solid for No. Amongst 25-29 year olds 62 per cent backed yes. The under 25s went No but by no where near as much as the over 65s.

Let's not forget Labour. Ineffective leader who has been half heartedly in this from the outset. Hemoraging support in the North which UKIP will likely mop up in the event of a close remain result. Those people with immigration concerns aren't going to suddenly disappear on Friday. UKIP could see a huge surge in support.

This is far from over. The only end game is leave.
