Well I supose if Theresa is recorded wearing trousers made from human skin, then it's a possibility

Trousergate - I doubt if any of Cameron's suits cost as much.

Probably the Nuttal and Richmond effect.

Maybe Labour should start holding Monthly Leadership Elections.

The only time that Corbyn seems to wake from hibernation is when he is fighting his own party.

All he's got on this week is a "Concert for Corbyn " on Friday

It has to be the most pointless and trivial story of the year.
Huge problems and issues facing the country but the big event is a pair of trousers!

Up here in Sunderland it's been nearly 30 years since the last sizeable,e shipyard closed. And most ex-shipbuilders moved on with their lives decades ago. The found new jobs in new industries. Now a lot are of retirement age, or have died and the only ones who seem to bemoan the loss of the shipyards are the local historians.

Ipsos/Mori for the Evening Standard (15 Dec):

CON 40%(-2)
LAB 29%(-4)
LDEM 14%(+4)
UKIP 9%(+2)
GRN 3%(nc)


Corbyn surging ahea ....... oh hang on.

Remain are now the Official Opposition.

Ipsos/Mori would be much better employed recording movements in each of the Remain, Leave and Regret categories.

It's okay they have a cunning plan. Turns out Main Stream Media is the answer

Surely you need a separate split between remainers who accept the referendum result and remoaners like the Lib Dems who don't and want a second vote!

That's the highest poll rating for the Libdems in five years.

Labour could still end up in government soon, even under Corbyn.

Coalition. I think it's the most likely option actually.

I think Labour is more likely to end up in Government under John Smith and he is dead.

The Liberals positioning themselves as the Remain party has really paid dividends, plus they are picking up disenfranchised Labour supporters as the party descends into irrelevance.

At some point they might reach the dizzy heights of 15%

Opinium conducted 13–16 Dec

http://opinium.co.uk/wp-content/uplo...016-Tables.xls

Con 38%
Lab 31%
UKIP 13%
Lib Dem 6%
SNP 6%
Green 4%

LibDems very different from the earlier poll.

Scotland
SNP 59%
Con 22
Lab 12
LD 5
SGP 2
UKIP 1

Looks like the people in Scotland think Sturgeon's doing a good job with a net approval of 27% (compared to a rating of -54% among UKIP voters)

Lovely, looks lick the Lib dumbs bounce has gone a bit flat.

Opinium is trying so hard to make UKIP relevant, you gotta admire their optimism.

Well done Tim !!!!


What's going on Tim ?????

Opinium were the most accurate pollster in the 2015 election and their final Referendum poll had leave ahead.

MORI had remain up by 52 to 48 in their final poll.

Should we not take more notice of pollsters who have a recent record of getting the results right?

I would be...if UKIP weren't becoming a shambles.

New you gov poll out today in the Times. 15 point Tory lead with Labour on only 24%

https://twitter.com/britainelects

CON: 39% (-3)
LAB: 24% (-1)
UKIP: 14% (+2)
LIB DEM: 12% (+1)

Thanks Marty

Tories falling a little as well though with UKIP still third despite being a shambles right now, but could be an outliner until we see others polling more or less the same numbers.
