The figures are in line with the final poll? With the final result imminent it’s looking as though the final result will be in the region of a 6% margin for Boris Johnson – almost exactly in line with YouGov’s final poll that was reported exclusively here on Monday evening. This will come as a great relief to the online pollster which has found itself a political issue in the campaign. Right from the point that the firm was reporting…

Picture: a Jeremy Vine stunt from the BBC’s so-called coverage The story is illustrated with one of the stupid gimmicks that the BBC used overnight to masquerade the fact that their election coverage has been abysmal. What we saw was Jeremy Vine going into a bar in the Wild West and “shooting” at cans which then produced number showings how the Lib Dem did at previous elections. Eh?

The Irish bookie has already started paying out – even though it’s won’t be until this evening that we get the actual result. Looking at the bet date and time it was placed just after Monday’s YouGov poll became public. As soon as the poll news came out I went to every bookie I could to bet before prices were adjusted.

The party’s great expertise is Westminster by…

After reading Stehert’s comment on the previous thread I’ve just watched the GMTV morning news when it looked as though the Labour Deputy Leader, Harriet Harman, was conceding defeat in London. When pressed on the Mayoral race she said that she “did not expect the London result to be any different to the rest of the country.” Certainly there’s been a lot of Tory celebrations and I was amazed that ConservativeHome was ready to…
The ramper/impersonator exposes a vulnerability Those who were on the site at about 6.30pm last night would have followed the attempt of a ramper to influence the Ken and Boris betting prices by creating exchanges as though they were by regular posters here. The “dialogue” started with him creating what purported to be a comment by me saying I had information about an exit poll saying things could be quite close. It then went to cover quite a few regular…
