Can the public cope with a pile of numbers like this? The “Re-Elect Boris” campaign in London has been keen that PB features its response to Ken’s move on bus fares following Henry G Manson’s piece last week in which the Ken video was presented. The spat between the two men has yet to catch the public imagination but in the interests of balance I’m running the Boris response. The Labour candidate, it will be recalled, is making a simple…
What the pollsters were saying exactly 4 years ago The chart shows the Real Clear Politics Average exactly four years ago in the race for the Republican nomination. At that stage, like in the 2012 race, we were just under seven weeks from the first proper test when real voters expressed their preference – the Iowa caucuses.

Will this add to the pressure? In today’s YouGov poll for the Sunday Times those sampled were asked if they thought that Theresa May should resign as Home Secretary over the relaxation of border controls.
