CON now 7% ahead of LAB with Opinium for the ObserverLAB 34 (-6) CON 41 (+4)LD 8 (+1) UKIP 7 (-) — Mike Smithson (@MSmithsonPB) February 2, 2019 LAB/Corbyn appear to be paying the price for Brexit ambiguity. Tonight's Opinium poll with a CON 7% lead finds that for the first time in since GE2017 less than half of referendum remain voters (49%) would opt for LAB. — Mike Smithson (@MSmithsonPB) February 2, 2019 Mike Smithson Follow @MSmithsonPB Tweet

To win the next election LAB need to find converts and it’s hard to see where these are coming from

To win the next election LAB need to find converts and it’s hard to see where these are coming from

Current polling finds LAB shedding support – not gaining it With all the current speculation about a new election and the possibility of Corbyn becoming PM the latest polling is being sidelined and the question of where LAB’s required new support is going to come from is hardly mentioned. The shock result at the last election has impacted greatly on both main parties in very different ways. The Tories fear the Labour threat and can’t take comfort in their polling…

New ComRes poll finds LAB catching up with the Tories as the one best described as “The Nasty Party”

New ComRes poll finds LAB catching up with the Tories as the one best described as “The Nasty Party”

A new ComRes poll commissioned by Jewish News has found the CON lead over the label ‘the nasty party’, memorably coined by TMay at the Party’s 2002 Conference, is now being challenged by Corbyn’s LAB. The poll found that while 34% said they thought the Conservatives are ‘the nasty party’, almost as many – 31% – said the same of LAB. The poll also found that fully twice as many British voters – 48% – think Labour was a more…

In the only 2018 polls to be tested against real results LAB shares were overstated by 7%+

In the only 2018 polls to be tested against real results LAB shares were overstated by 7%+

GE17 LAB polling understatement doesn’t mean that the same will happen next time One of the things that true believer Corbynistas keep telling me on Twitter is that last year’s general election was a turning point in British politics and that the rules have changed.

Et tu, John? Is another JC set to get stabbed in the back by a close ally?

Well this is very interesting. 'Allies of McDonnell claim he has become increasingly frustrated with Corbyn and his team over their botched handling of the anti-semitism row this summer, which overshadowed a carefully planned grid of policy announcements'. https://t.co/WlZKpJoRxK pic.twitter.com/wyCug9xTV6 — TSE (@TSEofPB) September 16, 2018 The truly great, such as Caesar & Thatcher, are removed from power by their allies stabbing them in the back, is Corbyn about to join that club?

Surely Labour MPs won’t go quietly with deselections set to become a reality

Joan Ryan is chair of Labour Friends of Israel. Tonight local party radicals passed a vote of no confidence in her, 1st stage of deselection. Tough to think of a worse look for a political party that aspires to govern. https://t.co/7Pqyg6TPvL — Tom Newton Dunn (@tnewtondunn) September 6, 2018 Another moderate and Corbyn critic @gavinshuker has also just lost a confidence vote tonight. That’s 4 Labour MPs in total now, after Hoey and Field. The purge has begun. — Tom…
