Finally, making other people pay for your shit has always been popular. The fundamental political truth is if you rob Peter to pay Paul you can be pretty much assured of Paul's vote. The fact the Peters are f*ckin sick of that shit should give you pause. The Peters have been sick of it since the id...

There's little evidence of the new members actually doing constituency work, unless it's in social media. No substance whatsoever to this claim, I'm afraid. I've been doing at least three doorknocking/leafletting session each week. At all bar one, new members outnumber old by margins of two, three,...

Yep I can see Labour absolutely piling up votes in their safe seats but hemorrhaging in marginals. Look at the crowds in Liverpool to see Corbyn speak. Generally agree as the Labour manifesto has been really well received; however, marginals with high Labour voter numbers but low voter turnout coul...

Comfortable conservative win, for me. Looking into it further, tend to agree. Nearly 20,000 voters from 2015 stayed home for the 2016 byelection. That won't happen again. Even if Lib Dems get all the minor party votes they are still well short. Unless Brexit is a much bigger rallying cry there than...

Checked and confirmed. I think we can consign Lord Ashcroft's model to the bin.

Interestingly Sarah Olney is now being investigated by the police for fiddling her election expenses apparently a local independent researcher has written to the Met setting out claims that Olney failed to declare between £5,157 and £15,414 of expenses during last year’s by-election (she was about ...

When you delve into the methodology you get the impression polling is more informed guesswork than a science - apart from the exit poll we get at 10pm on Thursday of course. However as a mate who works in this field explained to me - the story of this election will be the way UKIP voters break - an...

The credibility of the polling companies is the interesting sub plot to this - Yougov have gone double or quits in calling a hung parliament - if they get it wrong who is going to see them as credible going forward? Bit dubious of Lord Ashcroft's "probability" model. His prediction for Lewes, for i...

Are you suggesting we should add Brexit to the list of things the Tories had nothing to do with? The Tories didn't push Brexit through as a manifesto pledge or a policy.

I love this line of argument. The Tories are in charge of the country for the last seven years and yet anything bad concerning the state of the nation is nothing to do with them. Turn up some positive economic data and the narrative mysteriously changes. But its true on the economic points that Jak...

Inflation is currently lower than it was in 2008. I'm near certain that the highest incidents of terrorist attacks came in Heath and/or Wilson's premiership.

Most of the people who know me will have noticed my undying support for the great and amazing Theresa May. I really am not going to let little things cloud my judgment- little things like: - the reduction of policemen policing the streets by 46,000 on her watch - the greatest pro rata number of ter...

I am deeply disillusioned with May. She has shown impulsiveness and lack of bottle. As her saying goes, she is "barely managing". Shame there are no alternatives. God help us. That looks long, well researched and thought through. Any way you can condense it so it has a more aggressive tone and last...

Prime Minister Theresa May is on track to increase her parliamentary majority in next week’s U.K. election, according to a Bloomberg survey of leading pollsters that shows there’s a clearer consensus about the result than recent polls suggest. One week before the vote, six of the U.K.’s best known ...

I think she should've taken part, but even from tonight you can see why she didn't. It was a complete farce of a debate. They all came across like squabbling primary school kids. TV debates are shocking these days but May only avoided it because she calculated her personality and public speaking wo...

The home was only excluded from the asset test for home care; for those who go into a care home, it was included (following the death of owner and partner), with only 23K preserved, so for many people, including those with dementia, this is actually an improvement.

Tory voters don't put Union Jacks outside their houses either. The loon 3 doors down where I live has a HUGE "Vote Labour" sign in his garden.

Have they taken in to account the 'shy tory' factor?

Corbyn attending the debates is a serious risk for him - he's made no attempt to make friends with the other left-leaning/progressive parties and Farron in particular has been tearing into him on the sidelines throughout the whole campaign. going on a national platform to debate them could backfire...

The yougov poll sounds too good to be true; however, my local situation suggests a considerably bigger than expected turnout among the young and the working class is not out of the question.

Old Pulteney 12 year old is on special at Tesco and Waitrose for £24/26 atm. Good value at that price. Flavour profile like a simpler, sweeter Balvenie doublewood. Probably a bit treacly for some but I quite like it in summer.
