Jeremy Corbyn

Is that not more to do with people that voted Conservative didn't expect to be effected in the way they have rather than people preferring Corbyn's labour over Milliband's Labour?

Labour increased their party membership when Corbyn won the leadership election.

A General Election is a different matter though. Didn't Ed M actually increase Labours vote at the last election despite the hammering?

This, I guess we'll all find out in 2020.

Tory: 37%

I presume that is the effects of Corbyn coming across like this in the last few days

Wonder if it will change when cuts to the Police force are announced this week

I doubt it, crime is going down, same as the fire stats so not much impact of the cuts. The doctors strike may be a different story though.

Loving the rimmer gif by the way!

In the week where we are told we are under attack....seemingly cutting the Police force/funding could have a negative effect though.
 
I thought this was quite well written by youguv

Like Gaul in Julius Caesar’s time, Labour these days is divided into three parts. There are those who voted for Jeremy Corbyn to be party leader, those who voted against him and – by far the biggest group – Labour voters across Britain who played no part in his election.

The main conclusion from YouGov’s latest poll for The Times is simply stated. The first group still loves Mr Corbyn, the second group still rejects him and much of the vital third group see him as a principled but wrong-headed vote loser. An early re-run of the party leadership election would see him re-elected with a big majority – while an early general election would see him comprehensively rejected ...

What will worry many Labour MPs is that Mr Corbyn’s supporters seem to know that they they are out of touch with the wider public, but don’t mind. We asked Labour party members, and the electorate generally, to say which of seven attributes they associate with Labour’s leader. The figures differ, but the rankings are much the same. Corbyn’s supporters, his detractors, and Labour voters generally, all put “principled” at the top of the list, and “likely to lead Labour to victory at the next general election” last. It was the only one of the seven qualities picked by fewer than half of those who voted for him.

Unless Labour can reverse the situation in Scotland they have little hope of winning the next election, even less chanceif the proposed boundary changes go through. In my opinion an anti Tory coalition is more likely than a Labour majority.
 
The SNP have been a big let down. They crusaded on an anti-austerity ticket (very laudable, and correct) but I don't see them doing much in Parliament. Maybe there is a way back for Scottish Labour there.

The Lib Dems would be my worry in terms of forming an anti-Tory coalition, in this country being a religious nutjob does not get you very far in politics. Rightly so.
 
Depends on whether you care about the symbology or what he actually quoted.

But the press will lap it up, and go with that, rather than pulling apart Osborn's fantasy figures. So strategically its an own goal.
 
Resulting from today's Statement from the Chancellor, the Age of Austerity* is over.

*Another Osborne fantasy, as pointed out by Corbyn and McDonald
