Tory's take SHOCK 6 point lead in poll.

Amazing really.

Simply the worst most disfuctuonal gov in history, which has completely botched brexit.

And yet...

Westminster voting intention:


CON: 40% (-1)
LAB: 34% (-5)
LDEM: 10% (+3)
GRN: 4% (-)
UKIP: 4% (+1)

Which speaks absolute volumes about the leader of the opposition, if Corbyn is ousted and someone less radical elected as leader the swing will be a landslide.
If we have the worst government in history and they're leading in the polls then you clearly have the worst opposition in history too.

Looks increasingly like Labour need to back the second referendum.

Huge sample size will ring some alarm bells for labour.

If only.

25k people on this one... Any of those similar?

Interesting figures.

I assume they don't add up to 100% because not all party's are shown such as SNP and the welsh and Northern Ireland groups.

So if Labour and Cons have lost 6% and Lib and UKIP picked up 4% then the 'nationalist' type parties have picked up the remainder.

As Labour and Cons are not a power in NI, these must be to the welsh and Scottish therefore?

As Labour is not a power in Scotland at the moment then I suppose they are losing support in their traditional heartland in Wales and similarly the reverse for the Conservatives who have little say in Wales but have been more successful in Scotland recently?

Could possibly lead to a resurgence of the SNP (and their desire to breakaway from the union and remain closer to the EU) and a loss of 'safe' Labour seats in Wales?

What a mess for all concerned really.

As much as I no longer agree with the agenda of the SNP. I will happily see them pick up votes if it keeps labour out of Westminster.

I wonder how many of their 7000 employees voted for brexit. Still at least they have the comfort of knowing they have "taken back control".
