They don't have to vote for you.

I know but…

Massive swing to Greens as Labour betrays climate. Or not. Though admittedly, Starmer's personal ratings fall (but might be because last figure was an outlier).

Online people massively overestimate how much attention voters pay to details. Even details likes £20bn on top issues.

It's just incredible how everything is falling to pieces. Doubtless they think it's all bad luck with Covid and Ukraine. The electorate aren't buying it.

I think Labour framed it well and something that the public could pick up in Truss.

Don't think this is a new poll, just further information on a recent MRP.

Some of the marginals here are incredible. Tories only 2% up in Chichester, and virtualy level in Horsham.

More in common reduced Labour to 11pts but with reform benefitting it looks well dodge and frankly no one really knows where they come from.

They are similar in regards to Opinium with DKs but they showed 18 at the weekend and I doubt it shifted a whole on Sunday and Monday.

Polling at a weekend has always been an issue mind.

Hmmmmm. Despite the Rishicession, Phil still thinks the election will definitely be in May.

More on the two recent MRPs. Twin capitals of collapsing Tory votes is are The Fens and Essex, with their huge Brexit votes. The Tories would still hold lots of these seats (I don't think they could some of these in a by-election). But it looks like a Brexit unwinding, as David Herdson (who is worth a follow) calls it. I've said before I think Brexit has propped the Tories up in a lot of seats since 2015. No wonder Ed Milliband didn't do very well.

Polls may go out a bit from Monday though with all the noise Labour have had a point shaved off but you have to remember they went up about 2-3 points throughout Jan.

The arithmetic looked good for Labour in GE2015 as UKIP were eating into Tory votes. Didn’t work out that way to say the least but we avoided ‘chaos under Ed Miliband.’

Tories went full conspiracy theorist culture war as their tactic for the coming general election after they were perceived to have been successful with their lying about ULEZ in Uxbridge. However...

Just waiting for the "Labour can't top 60% here without OUR help - LDs WINNING HERE" poster from the local LDs.

I do hope that no one on here has been taken in RS Archer.

O Noes! You mean he isn't genuine and those stories about Brexiters are all made up!?!

I don't see why such an accomplished racer of thoroughbred swans would be joshing us about Brexiteers' capers.

Um, who is this Archer guy, and why is he notable?

A noted TwitteX parodyist, m'lud.
Quite amusing stories baiting the gammon.

You'd be surprised how mahy people have been taken in by him.

There can't be a shorter form of story-telling, and he is the master of all he surveys. His characters are beautifully formed into the monsters that they are. He is also one of us on his day off.
