I am not a fan of hypothetical polling because they have a history of being laughably wrong and I suspect this is another poll to join that list, even though it is good news for my 100/1 tip on Jeremy Corbyn or Zarah Sultana becoming Prime Minister by 2030.

The reason why I’ve said Corbyn is a diminished figure from his 2017 apogee was his ratings went into the toilet was his response to the Salisbury poisonings where the public perception changed about him changed, see the below findings from Ipsos, which at the time made him the most unpopular leader of the opposition since Ipsos started polling (a record which Kemi Badeonch has ‘bettered’.
